It is important to read all of our terms and conditions, but it is useful to draw attention to some specific points.

9. If conditions apply which necessitate the laying of a plinth for a cooker, the plinth must be provided by the customer prior to installation. The plinth must be flat, level, of fireproof material, able to withstand the weight of the appliance, be of suitable dimensions and constructed in accordance with the relevant installation instruction leaflet.
