Positioning the Cooker
Clearances
(see AS 5601/AG 601)
1 Overhead - Measurement A
The minimum height of any surface above the cooker is
650mm above the hotplate
Range hoods 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
range hood 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 ensure that the combustible surface does
not exceed 65ºC above ambient*. Even with the
surface protected the dimension B should not be less
than 135mm above hotplate level.
*The fixing of 5mm thick ceramic tiles to the surface or
attaching fire resistant material to the surface and
covering with sheet metal with a minimum thickness of
0.4mm to a height C of not less than 150 mm above
the hotplate should satisfy this requirement.
3 Side clearances - Measurement E
3 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. See
insets above.
For safety reasons curtains must not be fitted
immediately behind the cooker.
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.
A clearance of 130mm is required if the cooker is near
a corner of the kitchen to allow the oven doors to
open.
Unpacking the Cooker
Do not take any packaging off the cooker until it is
directly in front of the place it is to be installed (unless it
will not fit through a door in its outer packaging).
Cut the banding straps and lift the cardboard box off
the cooker, LEAVING THE COOKER STANDING ON
THE BASE PACKAGING. See the loose unpacking
sheet.
