Combined or Separate Installation
Figure 2 - separate installation
There are two installation options for this oven and hob pack:
1.
Oven and hob combined in a single housing unit under a worktop, as shown in Figure 1.
2.
Oven and hob installed separately into individual housing units as shown in Figure 2.
Before deciding on the position of your appliances, please read the ‘location’ and ‘housing dimensions’
sections that follow..
Figure 1 - combined installation
Location
Avoid installing the oven or hob next to a fridge, freezer or boiler.
It is best if the hob is surrounded by work surface, giving safe space to rest a hot pan and space to turn
handles so that they do not protrude into the walkway or become too hot over a neighbouring hotplate.
Hob clearance space
Certain minimum clearances must be allowed for when
planning the unit’s location (Figure 3):
Beneath the work surface, allow the required clearance for
appliances or units to be installed below.
There should be an open space above the hob to allow
kitchen odours to disperse. A cooker hood may be
installed to either absorb or extract the odours. The
distance between the hob and the hood must not be less
than 650mm (Figure 3).
The distance between the hob and the back edge of the
worktop should be no less than 50mm (Figure 3).
Leave adequate clearance between the hob and adjacent
cupboards (no less than 150mm.)
To ensure that the hob is properly supported, the distance
between the hob cutout and the worktop end should be no
less than 60mm (Figure 3).
Ensure a gap of not less than 400mm between the hob
surface and overhanging cupboards.
