Positioning the Range
Fig. 9.1, Fig. 9.2 and Fig. 9.3 show the minimum
recommended distance from the range to nearby combustible
surfaces (see Table 9.1).
We recommend a gap of no more than
/16” (5 mm) (see Table
9.1) either side of the appliance for moving the range. It must
be possible to move the range in and out for cleaning and
servicing.
Above hotplate surround should be level with, or above, any
adjacent work surface (Fig. 9.1).
*Any rangehood should be installed in accordance with the
hood manufacturer’s instructions.
**Any splashback must be tted in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions. Allowance should be made for the
additional height of the ue trim, which is tted to the rangetop.
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 discoloration.
We cannot accept responsibility for damage caused by
normal use of the range to any material that de-laminates or
discolors at temperatures less than 149°F/65°C above room
temperature.
