Installation
Safety clearances
Safety clearance above the appliance
A minimum safety distance must be
maintained between the appliance and
the rangehood above it. See the
rangehood manufacturer's operating
and installation instructions for details.
If the manufacturer's instructions are
not available for the rangehood, a
minimum safety distance of at least
760 mm must be maintained. For any
flammable objects, e.g. utensil rails,
wall units etc. a minimum distance of at
least 760 mm must be maintained
between them and the appliance
below.
When two or more appliances are
installed together below a
rangehood, e.g. a gas wok and an
induction cooktop, which have
different safety distances given in
the installation instructions, you
should select the greater distance of
the two.

Side / rear clearances to the cooktop
Ideally the cooktop should be installed
with plenty of space on either side.
There may be a wall at the rear and a
tall unit or wall at one side. On the other
side, however, no unit or divider should
stand higher than the cooktop (see
illustrations).
