Appliance Hearth:
The surface temperature of the floor
below the appliance does not exceed 100°C. The
constructional hearth described in Section J does not
apply. However, this appliance must be installed on a
solid floor of incombustible material which is capable of
supporting the total weight.
The location chosen for the appliance must permit the
installation and the provision of a satisfactory flue and an
adequate air supply. The location must also provide
adequate space for servicing and for air circulation around
the appliance. See “Installation of Appliance”.
The space in which the appliance is to be fitted must have
the following minimum dimensions.
Between wall or unit and LH side of appliance - 4mm
top plate
Between wall or unit and RH side of appliance - 4mm
top plate
SHOULD THE WALL PROJECT BEYOND THE FRONT
OF THE APPLIANCE, IT MUST BE INCREASED TO
50mm (SEE FIG. 2). To allow oven door to open
enough to change oven and shelf positions.
Above the raised insulating cover handle - 60mm
In addition, adequate clearance must be available at the
front of the appliance to enable it to be operated and
serviced. Flue pipes and fittings must not be closer than
25mm to combustible materials and where passing
through a combustible partition such as ceiling or roof,
must be enclosed in a non-combustible sleeve providing
an air space of at least 25mm.
Space around the flue pipes passing through walls or
floors should be sealed against the passage of smoke
and flame. A fire stop valve and plate must be provided
where the flue passes through a ceiling.
Where the cooker is to stand in a recess or against a wall
which is to be tiled,
in no circumstances should the
tiles overlap the cooker top plate.
