Overhead – Measurement AThe minimum height of any surface above the cooker is650 mm above the hotplate.Cookerhoods and exhaust fans shall be installed inaccordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. However, inno case shall the clearance between the highest part of thehob of the cooking appliance and a cookerhood be less than650 mm or, for an overhead exhaust fan, 750 mm.2. Side Clearances – Measurements B & CWhere B, measured from the periphery of the nearest burnerto any vertical combustible surface, or vertical combustiblesurface covered with toughened glass or sheet metal, is lessthan 200 mm, the surface shall be protected to make surethat the combustible surface does not exceed 65 °C aboveambient*. Even with the surface protected, the dimension Bshould not be less than 135 mm above hotplate level.*The fixing of 5 mm thick ceramic tiles to the surface, orattaching fire resistant material to the surface and covering withsheet metal with a minimum thickness of 0.4 mm to a height Cof not less than 150 mm above the hotplate, should satisfy thisrequirement.3. Side Clearances – Measurement D & EWhere D, the distance from the periphery of the nearestburner to a horizontal combustible surface is less than200 mm, then E shall be 10 mm or more, or the horizontalsurface shall be above the trivet.A clearance of 130 mm is required if the cooker is near acorner of the kitchen, to allow the oven doors to open. Theactual opening of the doors is slightly less, but this allows forsome protection of your hand as you open the door (Fig.7-2).We recommend a gap of 1110 mm between units to allowfor moving the cooker. Do not box the cooker in it must stillbe possible to move the cooker in and out for cleaning andservicing.
