Positioning The Cooker - Rangemaster Elise User's Manual & Installation Instructions

8. Positioning the Cooker

Fig. 8-1 and Fig. 8-2 show the minimum recommended
distance from the cooker to nearby surfaces.
The cooker should not be placed on a base.
The hotplate surround should be level with, or above,
any adjacent work surface. A gap of 75 mm should be left
between each side of the cooker ABOVE the hotplate level
and any adjacent vertical surface.
For non-combustible surfaces (such as unpainted metal or
ceramic tiles), this can be reduced to 25 mm.
A minimum space of 650 mm is required between the top of
the hob and a horizontal combustible surface.
*Any cookerhood 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.
Surfaces of furniture and walls at the sides and rear of the
appliance should be heat, splash and steam resistant. Certain
types of vinyl or laminate kitchen furniture are particularly
prone to heat damage and discolouration. We cannot accept
responsibility for damage caused by normal use of the
cooker to any material that de-laminates or discolours at
temperatures less than 65 °C above room temperature.
We recommend a gap of 910 mm between units to allow
for moving the cooker. Do not box the cooker in – it must
be possible to move the cooker in and out for cleaning and
servicing.
If the cooker is near a corner of the kitchen, a clearance of
130 mm is required to allow the oven doors to open (Fig.
8-3). The actual opening of the doors is slightly less, but this
allows for some protection of your hand as you open the
door.
Check the appliance is electrically safe when you have finished.
