Check the appliance is electrically safe and gas sound when you have finished.
Positioning the Range
Fig. 8.1 shows the minimum recommended distances and
clearances from the range to nearby surfaces.
You must provide adequate clearances between the range
and adjacent combustible surfaces. These dimensions must
be met for safe use of your range.
The location of the electrical outlet and pipe opening (see
Gas Pipe and Electric Outlet Locations) may be adjusted to
meet specific requirements.
A gap of at least 3" (7.5 cm) should be left between each
side of the range above the cooktop level and any adjacent
vertical surface.
The cooktop surround should be level with, or above, any
adjacent work surface.
For non-combustible surfaces (such as unpainted metal or
ceramic tiles) the gap each side can be reduced from 3" to 1"
(2.5 cm).
A minimum space of 31½" (80 cm) is required between the
top of the cooktop and a horizontal combustible surface. The
maximum depth for cabinets installed above cooktops is 24''
(61 cm).
The depth of the range is 283/32'' (71.36 cm) overall (Fig. 8.2).
Any range hood 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.
For safety reasons curtains must not be sited immediately
behind the range.
We recommend a gap of 35½" (90 cm) – 36" (91 cm (for
Canada 363/8" (92.5 cm)) between cupboards to allow for
moving the range.
USA only: If a flush fit is required, install the range up to the
cupboard at one side then install the cupboard the other side.
