• Remove the base frame from the pallet or crae and assemble it. At the lower end of the front and rear frames place the cross members in the upper holes ( 4 1/2" / 110mm from the ground) so that a pallet trolley can fit under them.

• Leave the front top cross member of the frame off so that the forklift can lower its tines.

• Remove the oven from the pallet by getting the fork under the front of the metal base and lifting the front of the oven up several inches so that it is tilted back. It may be necessary to break the front board of the pallet away to achieve this

• Place two blocks of some sort (about 6 inches / 150mm thick) near the centre of the oven on each side to act as pivot points (ensure that the blocks are over the bearers and not just on the boards of the pallet) and then lower the fork. If desired a third block can be placed in the centre front of the oven. The oven should now be balanced some 6" / 150mm above the pallet.

• Place the tines of the fork under the steel base and lift the oven clear of the pallet. The tines should be set so as to be close enough to fit inside the frame and should not be inserted further back than about two inches / 50mm in front of the temperature probe hole at the back of the oven.

• Pull the pallet clear of the oven and raise the oven to about 3 ft 6inches/ 950mm above the ground.

• Slide the frame under the base and slowly lower the oven so that the locating bolts pass through the matching holes in the top side members of the frame. Then fasten these bolts to the frame with the nuts and washers provided.

• Lower the tines of the forklift about 3 inches / 75mm and fasten the top cross member of the front of the frame in position. Once it is in position check that all bolts are securely fastened.

• Place the tines of the forklift, spread wide as possible, through the frame below the two top cross members. Take care to avoid the rear diagonal. Then lift the oven so that it is just clear of the ground.

• Now use the forklift to place the appliance inside the premises onto a stable level surface, whether this is through a doorway or through a window from which the pane of glass has been removed.

• The appliance can now be moved to its final position by means of a pallet trolley, forklift, industrial skates or on castors fixed to the frame.

• If using the turning frame to achieve installation through standard 3 foot / 900mm doorways please carefully read and follow the instructions supplied separately with the turning frame.

• At all times ensure that the appliance is only lifted enough to be clear of the floor excess height will result in the appliance being unstable during movement as it is top heavy.

• Ensure that the appliance is fitted absolutley level. Check for level and plumb with a spirit level and chock up the frame as necessary. The oven's structual integrity will be endangered and any conveyor systems cannot operate unless the oven is absolutely level.

• Once the appliance is in its final position remove the lower cross members and secure them at ground level or secure the side frames to the floor using dyna bolts and completely remove the front cross member.

• If gas back has been purchased, this should be fastened to the frame in the designated position. The exact fixing method depends on the class of burner purchased and is detailed in the accompanying instructions.

• Now connect any gas and power lines and test and commission any burners fitted.

• Your plumber or gas fitter should now fit any flues and exhaust ducts and adjust the damper settings.

• If a deluxe surround has been purchased this should now be laced around the frame and fastened to the locating ring around the girth of the appliance. If a turret surround has been purchased the upper portion should be fitted above the lower surround and fastened in position.

• To build the outer base enclosure, drop plumb line marks from the front corners of the tunnel and then draw a circle of the appropriate diameter on the floor, which passes through the two plumb points.

• Build a brick or other material base up to the level of the render of the oven. Take care at all times to ensure that there is no contact between the bricks and the steel base of the oven. Keep a gap of at least 1/3 inch / 10mm at all times. Then render the base (if desired) to line up with the dome in line with the top of the bricks.

• Cut a fine v joint in at the union between the top render and the base. This can be filled with polyfilla high stress or similar temperature tolerant silicone sealant before painting or tiling.

• Finally insert the granite mantle and decorate to your own taste.

• Seal any joints and sponge the colour coating provided over the sealed joints so that they are not visible.

• Light the first fire or ignite the gas burner. Although Golden Embers appliances are pre-seasoned, it is still required that the heat up cycle be progressive. Initially heat the appliance to around 240°F / 120°C and maintain that temperature for around 4 hours. Then raise the temperature in steps of 120°F / 50°C each four hours.

• Ensure that the gas flame (if any) does not fire directly into the oven wall and that the startup fire is kept in the centre of the appliance until a temperature of 575°F / 300°C has been reached, then continue to raise the temperature untill it reaches 900°F / 500°C
