Fitting the Hob
Unpacking the hob:
Take care not to lose or mishandle any parts.
Fitting position of the hob:
This appliance must be installed in accordance with the dimensions
given in Fig.11 on page 20 of this manual 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. 11.
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. 12). If the instructions supplied with the hood
dictate that the hood must be installed at a height greater than
750mm, 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 400mm, 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.
