Positioning the Cooker
The diagrams below show the minimum recommended distance from the cooker to nearby surfaces.
Checking the parts
he 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. Surfaces above hobplate level at the sides and rear of the appliance should be heat, splash and steam resistant e.g.tiles.
For non combustible surfaces (such as unpainted metal or ceramic tiles) the gap at the side of the cooker above hotplate level can be reduced to 25mm.
For safety reasons curtains must not be fitted immediately behind the cooker.
A minimum space of 650mm is required between the top of the hotplate and a horizontal combustible surface.
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.
*Any cooker hood should be installed in accordance with the hood manufacturer’s instructions.
