Safety distances
Safety distances underneath the
cooktop
To ensure sufficient ventilation to the
cooktop, a certain gap must be left
between the underside of the cooktop
and any oven, interim shelf or drawer.
The minimum gap between the
underside of the cooktop and
– the top of an oven is 15 mm.
– the top of an interim shelf is 15 mm.
– the base of a drawer is 75 mm.

Interim shelf
It is not necessary to fit an interim shelf
underneath the cooktop, but one may
be fitted if you wish.
Leave a gap of 10 mm at the back of
the shelf to accommodate the cable.
We recommend a gap at the front of the
shelf of 20 mm to ensure good
ventilation.
