Check the appliance is electrically safe and gas sound when you have finished.
Positioning the Cooker
Fig. 8.1, Fig. 8.2 and Fig. 8.3 show the minimum
recommended distance from the cooker to nearby surfaces.
The cooker should not be placed on a base.
Above hotplate surround should be level with, or above, any
adjacent work surface.
Fig. 8.1 Cookers installed into recess: The cooker must have
side clearance ABOVE hob level of 75mm up to a height of
410mm. This can be reduced to 25mm if the surface is made
from a non-combustible material.
A minimum space of 650 mm is required between the top of
the hob and a horizontal combustible surface.
*Any cookerhood should be installed in accordance with the
hood manufacturer's instructions.
**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.
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.
If the cooker is near a corner of the kitchen, a clearance of
130 mm is required to allow the oven doors to open (Fig. 8.3).
The actual opening of the doors is slightly less, but this allows
for some protection of your hand as you open the door.
When Fitting Between Kitchen
Cabinets
We recommend that you either:
A.
Fit the cooker so that any cabinet doors are at least
30 mm behind the cooker door fronts. Note that this
may require an infill piece behind the cooker.
We recommend a gap of 910 mm between units to
allow for moving the cooker (Fig. 8.2). Do not box the
cooker in – it must be possible to move the cooker in
and out for cleaning and servicing.
B.
Leave a gap of at least 9 mm on either side of the cooker
(a 918 mm gap between units) (Fig. 8.2). The cooker
should be positioned centrally.
We also recommend that you do not final fix any adjacent
cabinets until the cooker is installed. Decorative mouldings
or handles on cabinet doors and fronts may interfere with the
opening of the oven doors.
