Positioning the Cooker
The diagrams below show the minimum
recommended distance from the cooker to nearby
surfaces.
The hob should be level with, or above, any adjacent
work surface. Above hob level a gap of 75mm should
be left between each side of the cooker and any
adjacent vertical surface.
For non-combustible surfaces (such as unpainted
metal or ceramic tiles) this can be reduced to 25mm.
A minimum space of 650mm is required between the
top of the hob and a horizontal combustible surface.
*Any cooker hood should be installed in accordance
with the hood manufacturer’s instructions.
Surfaces of furniture and walls at the sides and rear
of the appliance should be heat, splash and steam
resistant. Certain types of vinyl or laminate kitchen
furniture are particularly prone to heat damage and
discolouration. We cannot accept responsibility
for damage caused by normal use of the cooker
to any material that de-laminates or discolours
at temperatures less than 65°C above room
temperature.
For safety reasons curtains must not be fi tted
immediately behind the cooker.
We recommend a gap of 910mm between units to
allow for moving the cooker. If a fl ush fi t is required,
fi t the cooker up to the unit at one side then fi t the
unit the other side. Do not box the cooker in; it must
still be possible to move the cooker in and out for
cleaning and servicing. The cooker should not be
placed on a base.
