1.
Overhead – Measurement A
The minimum height of any surface above the cooker is
650 mm above the hotplate.
Cookerhoods 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 cookerhood 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 is less than 200 mm, the
surface shall be protected by one of the following methods:
a.
Fixing ceramic tiles with a minimum thickness of
5 mm to the surface.
b.
Fixing toughened glass with a minimum thickness
of 5 mm to the surface, provided the glass is
approved by the manufacturer to be suitable for the
application.
c.
Attaching fire resistant material to the surface and
covering with sheet metal with a minimum thickness
of 0.4 mm.
Protection should be to a height
C
of not less than 150 mm
above the hob for the full dimension (width or depth) of the
cooking surface area.
3.
Side Clearances – Measurement D & E
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.
If the horizontal surface is above the trivet, then any vertical
combustible surface needs to be protected in accordance
with
B
above.
If the cooker is near a corner of the kitchen, a clearance of
130 mm is required to allow the oven doors to open (
Fig. 8.2
)
The actual opening of the doors is slightly less, but this allows
for some protection of your hand as you open the door.
We recommend a gap of 1110 mm between units to allow
for moving the cooker.
Do not
box the cooker in it must still
be possible to move the cooker in and out for cleaning and
servicing.
