Fitting the hob
Unpacking
the
hob:
Take care not to lose or mishandle any parts.
Fitting position of the hob:
This appliance, when installed, must be a
minimum of 50mm
from
any back wall and a minimum of 150mm away from any adjacent
vertical surfaces, e.g. a tall cupboard end panel. This may be
reduced to 100mm if the adjacent surface is resistant to fire (tiles or
steel, for example). These dimensions are shown in Fig. 6.
If fitting a cooker hood above the hob:
If a cooker hood is to be installed above the hob, the height of
the hood above the hob must be at least 700mm (750mm is
recommended) (Fig. 7). If the instructions supplied with the hood
dictate that the hood must be installed at a height greater than
700mm, then that height is the minimum required.
Wall furniture requirements:
The minimum height of any cabinet immediately above the hob is
900mm. The minimum height of any adjacent units (including light
pelmets) is 420mm, unless they are manufactured from a material
resistant to fire (steel, for example).
Notes:
• Do not position this appliance above a refrigeration unit. The
heat generated may cause the refrigeration unit to fail.
• This appliance is designed to be installed into cabinet units
capable of withstanding temperatures 65°C above ambient or
