Notes:
1.
The cooking surface area is defined as being that part of the gas appliance where cooking normally takes
place and does not include those parts of the gas appliance containing control knobs.
2.
These clearances do not apply where an adjacent surface is of a non-combustible material or is combustible
but protected with a fire-resistant material. The fire-resistant material may be covered by ceramic tiles or
stainless steel to meet appropriate requirements relating to health protection.
3.
Care should be taken where a combustible surface is covered by a non-combustible material for example,
covering a combustible surface with stainless steel will not prevent heat transfer, and in some circumstances
hazardous situation could arise.
