Positioning the Cooker

The diagrams show the minimum recommended
distance from the cooker to nearby surfaces.
The cooker should not be placed on a base.

*door opening width

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 non-combustible surfaces (such as unpainted metal
or ceramic tiles) this can be reduced to 25mm.
A minimum space of 800mm is required between the top
of the hotplate and a horizontal combustible surface.

Any cooker hood should be installed in accordance with
the hood manufacturer’s instructions.
Surfaces of furniture and walls at the sides and rear
of the appliance should be heat, splash and steam
resistant. Certain types of vinyl or laminate kitchen
furniture are particularly prone to heat damage
and discolouration. We cannot accept responsibility
for damage caused by normal use of the cooker to
any material that de-laminates or discolours at
temperatures less than 65°C above room temperature.
For safety reasons curtains must not be fitted
immediately behind the cooker.
We recommend a gap of 910mm 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.
A clearance of 130mm is required if the cooker is near a
corner of the kitchen to allow the oven doors to open.
