Positioning the Cooker
The diagrams below 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. Above hotplate level a gap
of 75mm should be left between each side of the cooker
and any adjacent vertical surface.
For non-combustible surfaces (such as unpainted metal
or ceramic tiles) this can be reduced to 25mm.
A minimum space of 650mm is required between the
top of the hotplate and a horizontal combustible surface.
*Any cooker hood should be installed in accordance with
the hood manufacturer’s instructions.
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.
For safety reasons curtains must not be fitted
immediately behind the cooker.
We recommend a gap of 910mm 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.
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.
Unpacking the Cooker
Do not take any packaging off the cooker until it is
directly in front of the place it is to be installed (unless it
will not fit through a door in its outer packaging).
Cut the banding straps and lift the cardboard box off
the cooker, leaving the cooker standing on the base
packaging. See the loose unpacking sheet.
