Positioning the Cooker
The diagrams below show the minimum recommended distance from the cooker to nearby surfaces.
The cooker should not be placed on a base.
The hotplate surround should be level with, or above, any adjacent work surface. Above hotplate level a gap of 75mm should be left between each side of the cooker and any adjacent vertical surface.

For safety reasons curtains must not be fitted immediately behind the cooker.
We recommend a gap of 1110mm between units to allow for moving the cooker. If a flush fit is required, fit the cooker up to the unit at one side then fit the unit the other side. Do not box the cooker in; it must still be possible to move the cooker in and out for cleaning and servicing. The cooker should not be placed on a base.
Repeat from the front and remove the front half of the poly base. Pull the drawer out to its furthest point.
