]öInstructions for building-in
There may be a wall at the rear and a wall or tall units at one side. On the other side however, no unit or divider must stand higher than the cooktop.
With kitchen cabinetry, the following minimum dimensions must be kept:
–a distance of 10" (250 mm) from adjacent units if they are suscep- tible to heat, otherwise some form of insulation must be installed.
–a distance of 30" (76 cm) between the cooktop and any wall cabinet installed above it.
–a distance of 26" (65 cm) between the cooktop and cooker hood, or more if building regulations require.
All backsplashes must be of heat re- sistant material. With all kitchen cabinet suppliers, please comply with their recommendations for dis- tances.
If a drawer or shelf is installed underneath the cooktop unit, ensure that there is a distance of at least 3" (80 mm) between the base of the cooktop unit and the upper edge of the drawer or shelf.
Ensure that nothing rubs the gas pipe when drawer, cabinet door, etc. are moved.
