Location
Position of the cooker
The position of the cooker should ensure free access to all controls.
Avoid installing the cooker next to a fridge, freezer or boiler.
Safety Requirements
This appliance must only be installed in an area with adequate ventilation.
Do not install the cooker on a window-door axis or any position where strong draughts are likely.
Ensure that the surrounding material is heat resistant and non-combustible.
The electricity supply must be routed near to the installation.
There must not be any plugs, wires or sockets in the wall directly above or behind the cooker top.
Clearance space
Certain minimum clearances must be allowed for when planning the unit's location (Figure 1):
The cooker should be installed into a space at least 650mm wide.
There should be an open space above the hob to allow kitchen odours to disperse. A cooker hood may be
installed to either absorb or extract the odours. The distance between the hob and the hood must not be
less than 650mm (Figure 1).
Leave adequate clearance between the cooker hob top and adjoining vertical cupboards (no less than
150mm.)
