A range hood fitted above the top must be installed
according to the installation instructions for the range
hood. A minimum distance of 650 mm is required for a
range hood and 750 mm for an exhaust fan.
Any adjoining wall surface situated within 200 mm from
the edge of any hob burner must be a suitable non-
combustible material for a height of 150 mm for the
entire length of the hob. Any combustible construction
above the hotplate must be at least 650 mm above the
top of the burner and no construction shall be within
450 mm above the top of the burner.
A minimum depth of 50 mm from the top of the worktop
surface must be provided for the appliance.
If the base of the hotplate can be touched, a protecting
shield must be fitted.
■ The shield must be at least 10 mm from the lowest
part of the hotplate and must be capable of
withstanding the appliance temperatures. Minimum
thickness of benchtop is 30 mm.
■ The shield material must be mdf or similar with
minimum thickness of 12 mm.
■ The shield overall dimensions must be 560 mm wide
x 480 mm deep.

Side clearances: If the distance measured from the
periphery of the nearest burner to any vertical surface is
less than 200 mm, the surface shall be protected in
accordance with clauses 6.10.1.2 of AS/NZS 5601.1.
Make an appropriate size cut in the work surface.
On wood work surfaces, varnish the cutting surfaces
with a special glue. This protects them from moisture
which could collect under the work surface.
Note: Wear protective gloves to fit the hob.
