Safety distances to the sides of the hob
Ideally the hob should be installed with plenty of space on either side. There may be a wall at the rear and a tall unit or wall at one side. On the other side, however, no unit or divider should stand higher than the hob (see illustrations).
The following minimum distances should be adhered to for safety reasons:
–50 mm to the right or left of the worktop
–50 mm from the worktop
