within the aperture for the fixings.
I'm reasonably handy with DIY and a bit of a tech head, but have never
fitted a built in oven before. So any tips/advice on what to do or watch out
for would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

I have just fitted one - it's very straightforward. You get 4 L-shaped pieces of steel bracket (screwed in to the rear of the oven when delivered). The 2 smaller ones go vertically down at the front from exactly worktop level (3 screws each). The other larger ones then go horizontally back from the bottom edge of these and support the oven weight (5 or 6 screws each). Make sure they are level. The oven is then slid into the aperture on the horizontal rails and screwed on to the vertical rails at the sides of the oven doors with 4 black self tappers.
Make sure there is a sturdy unit on either side and that the width of the gap is pretty close to 600mm. Also, if you are placing a gas hob above there is quite a tight space for the supply pipework - needs a right angle quite close to the hob to get the pipe fit the space.
Instructions are very clear (all diagrams, no text). Only had it fitted a few days but it seems to work very well. Good luck.
