Positioning the Cooker

The diagram (Fig.7-1) shows the minimum recommended
distance from the cooker to nearby surfaces as given in
AS 5601.
1. Overhead – Measurement A
The minimum height of any surface above the cooker is
650mm above the hotplate.
Range hoods and exhaust fans shall be installed in
accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. However, in
no case shall the clearance between the highest part of the
hob of the cooking appliance and a range hood be less than
650mm or, for an overhead exhaust fan, 750mm.
2. Side Clearances – Measurements B & C
Where B, measured from the periphery of the nearest burner
to any vertical combustible surface, or vertical combustible
surface covered with toughened glass or sheet metal, is
less than 200mm, the surface shall be protected to ensure
that the combustible surface does not exceed 65ºC above
ambient*. Even with the surface protected, the dimension B
should not be less than 135mm above hotplate level.
*The fixing of 5mm thick ceramic tiles to the surface, or
attaching fire resistant material to the surface and covering with
sheet metal with a minimum thickness of 0.4mm to a height C
of not less than 150mm above the hotplate, should satisfy this
requirement.
3. Side Clearances – Measurement D & E
Where D, the distance from the periphery of the nearest
burner to a horizontal combustible surface is less than
200mm, then E shall be 10mm or more, or the horizontal
surface shall be above the trivet.
A clearance of 130mm is required if the cooker is near a corner of
the kitchen, to allow the oven doors to open. The actual opening
of the doors is slightly less, but this allows for some protection of
your hand as you open the door.
We recommend a gap of 905mm between units to allow for
moving the cooker. Do not box the cooker in - it must still
be possible to move the cooker in and out for cleaning and
servicing.

Moving the Cooker

On no account try and move the cooker while it is

plugged into the electricity supply.
The cooker is very heavy, so take great care.
We recommend two people manoeuvre the cooker. Ensure
that the floor covering is firmly fixed, or removed to prevent
it being disturbed when moving the cooker around. To help
you, there are two levelling rollers at the back and two screw-
down levelling feet at the front. You will need the levelling
tool.
