by a suitably qualified and authorised person,
in accordance with the current version of the
following:
• Gas Safety Regulations (Installation & Use)
• Building Regulations (issued by the
Department of Environment)
• Building Standards (Issued by the Scottish

POSITIONING
The adjacent cabinetry and wall materials must
be able to withstand a minimum temperature
rise of 65° C above the ambient temperature
of the room.
• This appliance has been designed for use
within a kitchen.
Important! The adjacent furniture must be able
to withstand a minimum temperature rise of
85°C above the ambient temperature of the
room it is located in, during periods of use.
This appliance is classified as Class 3 and
therefore is to be built into a kitchen unit
(depending on size) or 600mm worktop,
providing the following minimum distances
are allowed:
• The edges of the hob must be a minimum
distance of 55mm from a side or rear wall.
• 600mm between the highest point of the
hob surface (including the burners) and the
underside of any horizontal surface directly
above it.
• If the underside of the horizontal surface
is lower than 400mm, then it must be at
least 50mm away from the outer edges
of the hob.
• 50mm clearance around the appliance
and between the hob surface and any
combustible materials.
A Minimum distance from the edge of the
closest burner (left and/or right side) to the
nearest vertical combustible surface: 200mm*
B Minimum distance from the edge of the
closest rear burner to the combustible vertical
surface: 200mm*
C Minimum height of noncombustible material
when used on adjacent walls: 200mm
D Minimum clearance from top of highest
burner cap to rangehood: 600mm**
E Minimum clearance below top of bench top to
nearest combustible surface: 70mm
F Ensure there is an earthed power outlet within
900mm of the rear right-hand corner of the
cooktop. The outlet should be accessible with
the cooktop installed.
G If connecting the cooktop to the gas supply
with a flexible hose, the connector on the
wall should be between 800–850mm
above the floor and to a distance of at least
250mm outside the width of the cooktop.
The connector should be accessible with the
cooktop installed.
* Where the clearance is less than 200mm
the surface must be protected by a non-
combustible material (I.e. ceramic tiles) for
a minimum height of 200mm (see Fig. 1).
** For any flammable objects (I.e. utensil rails, wall
cabinets, shelves, etc.) a minimum clearance
of at least 600mm above the burner cap must
be maintained between them and the cooktop
below.
