Positioning the Cooker
The diagram (Fig.7-1) shows the minimum recommended
distance from the cooker to nearby surfaces as given in
AS5601 / AG601.
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 65°C above
ambient*. Even with the surface protected, the dimension B
should not be less than 135mm above hotplate level.
*The xing of 5mm thick ceramic tiles to the surface, or
attaching re 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.
DO NOT place the cooker on a base.
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 910mm 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.
