JVC toledo Installation, Overhead - Measurement A, Side Clearances - Measurements B & C

INSTALLATION

Check the appliance is electrically safe and gas sound when you have ￿nished.

Positioning the Cooker

The diagram (Fig.7-1)shows the minimum recommended distance from the cooker to nearby surfaces as given in AS 5601.

1.Overhead – Measurement A

The minimum height of any surface above the cooker is 650 mm above the hotplate.

Cookerhoods and exhaust fans shall be installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. However, in no case shall the clearance between the highest part of the hob of the cooking appliance and a cookerhood be less than 650 mm or, for an overhead exhaust fan, 750 mm.

2.Side Clearances – Measurements B & C

Where B, measured from the periphery of the nearest burner to any vertical combustible surface, or vertical combustible surface covered with toughened glass or sheet metal, is less than 200 mm, the surface shall be protected to make sure that the combustible surface does not exceed 65 °C above ambient*. Even with the surface protected, the dimension B should not be less than 135 mm above hotplate level.

*The ￿xing of 5 mm thick ceramic tiles to the surface, or attaching ￿re resistant material to the surface and covering with sheet metal with a minimum thickness of 0.4 mm to a height C of not less than 150 mm above the hotplate, should satisfy this requirement.

3.Side Clearances – Measurement D & E

130 mm

Where D, the distance from the periphery of the nearest burner to a horizontal combustible surface is less than

200 mm, then E shall be 10 mm or more, or the horizontal surface shall be above the trivet.

A clearance of 130 mm is required if the cooker is near a corner of the kitchen, to allow the oven doors to open. The actual opening of the doors is slightly less, but this allows for some protection of your hand as you open the door (Fig.7-2).

We recommend a gap of 1110 mm between units to allow for moving the cooker. Do not box the cooker in it must still be possible to move the cooker in and out for cleaning and servicing.
