Fitting the Hob
Unpacking the hob:
Take care not to lose or mishandle any parts.
Fitting position of the hob:
This appliance must be installed a minimum of 50mm from any
back wall and a minimum of 180mm away from any adjacent vertical
surfaces, e.g. a tall cupboard end panel. This may be reduced to
100mm if the adjacent surface is resistant to fire (tiles or steel, for
example). These dimensions are shown in Fig. 6.
If fitting a cooker hood above the hob:
If a cooker hood is to be installed above the hob, the height of
the hood above the hob must be at least 600mm (650mm is
recommended) (Fig. 7). If the instructions supplied with the hood
dictate that the hood must be installed at a height greater than
600mm, then that height is the minimum required.
Wall furniture requirements:
The minimum height of any cabinet immediately above the hob is
900mm. The minimum height of any adjacent units (including light
pelmets) is 400mm, unless they are manufactured from a material
resistant to fire (steel, for example).
Notes:
•
Do not position this appliance above a refrigeration unit. The heat
generated may cause the refrigeration unit to fail.
