Positioning the Cooker
The diagram
(Fig.7-1)
shows the minimum recommended
distance from the cooker to nearby surfaces as given in
AS 5601.
*Any splashback must be fitted in accordance with the
manufacturers instructions. Allowance should be made for
the additional height of the flue trim, which is fitted to the
cooker hob.
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, or vertical combustible
surface covered with toughened glass or sheet metal, is less
than 200 mm, the surface shall be protected to make sure
that the combustible surface does not exceed 65 °C above
ambient*. Even with the surface protected, the dimension
B
should not be less than 135 mm above hotplate level.
*The fixing of 5mm thick ceramic tiles to the surface, or
attaching fire resistant material to the surface and covering with
sheet metal with a minimum thickness of 0.4 mm to a height C
of not less than 150 mm above the hotplate, should satisfy this
requirement.
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. See insets above.
DO NOT place the cooker on a base.
For safety reasons, curtains,must not be fitted immediately
behind the cooker.
We recommend a gap of 905 mm between units to allow for
moving of the cooker. Do not box the cooker in – it must still
be possible to move the cooker in and out for cleaning and
servicing.
Moving the Cooker
n
n
On no account try and move the cooker while it is
plugged into the electricity supply.
n
n
The cooker is very heavy, so take great care.
We recommend that two people manoeuvre the cooker.
Make sure that the floor covering is firmly fixed, or removed,
to prevent it being disturbed when moving the cooker
around.
To help you, there are two levelling rollers at the back, and
two screw-down levelling feet at the front.
