Position
CAUTION: DO NOT LIFT APPLIANCE USING THE DOOR HANDLES
A cut-out should be prepared as shown in the enclosed diagrams. The cut-out MUST comply
with the dimensions shown and include the low ventilation indicated.
A horizontal distance of 200mm must exist between the edge of the burner and combustible
material unless protected by a layer of non-combustible material. Unless the appliance is fitted
with a glass lid a non-combustible heat shield (splash back) must be fitted onto the rear wall
directly behind the appliance.
This appliance must be positioned free from draughts, which may affect the combustion, and in
a manner that will prevent the accumulation of unburned gas. When in use ensure that air
vents are not inadvertently blocked or shut off. Ensure all combustible materials such as
curtains and shelves are well clear of the appliance.
The performance of this appliance meets the requirements of the Australian Standard for
Domestic Cooking Appliances. We recommend the installation follows the minimum
dimensions shown in this manual as any deviation could result in excessive temperature
rise. If minimum dimensions must be reduced, due to design constraints, a temperature rise
test of all furniture fitted around the unit MUST be performed. The design is deemed
permissible providing the results of this test comply with all standards in force and the
requirements detailed within the furniture manufacturer’s material specification
.
Where
minimum dimensions are reduced, we recommend protecting with non-combustible
material
