Dimensions and clearances
This cooktop has been designed and constructed in accordance with the following codes and
specifications:
AGA101 (AS 4551) Approval Requirements for Domestic Gas cooking appliances
AS/NZS 60335-1 General Requirements for Domestic electrical appliances
AS/NZS 60335-2-6 Particular Requirements for Domestic electrical cooking appliances
AS/NZS 1044
Electromagnetic Compatibility Requirements.
The installation shall comply with the dimensions in Figs. 1 and 2, bearing in mind the fol-
lowing requirements:
A minimum clearance of 20 mm has to be kept between the base of the cooktop and the top
of an underbench appliance or a shelf. To ensure this clearance, mount the spacers supplied
with the appliance, as shown in Fig. 3.
A partition between the base of the cooktop and the cupboard below should be fitted 100 mm
below the benchtop if the cupboard is to be used for storage.
Overhead clearances - In no case shall the clearance between the highest part of the cooktop
and a range hood be less than 650 mm, or for an overhead exhaust fan, 750 mm. Any other
downward-facing combustible surface less than 600 mm above the highest part of the co-
oktop shall be protected for the full width and depth of the cooking surface area in accordance
with local regulations in force. However, in no case shall this clearance to any surface be less
than 450 mm.
Side clearances - Where the distance from the periphery of the nearest burner to any vertical
combustible surface is less than 200 mm, the surface shall be protected in accordance with
with local regulations in force to a minimum height of 150 mm above the cooktop for the full
dimension (width or depth) of the cooking surface area.
Where the distance from the periphery of the nearest burner to any horizontal combustible
surface is less than 200 mm, the horizontal surface shall be more than 10 mm below the
surface of the cooktop, or the horizontal surface shall be above the trivet (see requirement for
vertical combustible surfaces above).
Protection of combustible surfaces - Local regulations in force specify that, where required,
protection shall ensure that the surface temperature of combustible surfaces does not exceed
65 °C above ambient. To comply with this requirement satisfactorily, fix 5 mm-thick ceramic
tiles to the surface or attach fire-resistant material to the surface and cover with sheet metal
(minimum thickness 0.4 mm).
