Positioning the Range
Fig. 8.1 and Fig. 8.2 show the minimum recommended
distance from the range to nearby surfaces.
The range should not be placed on a base.
The cooktop surround should be level with, or above, any
adjacent work surface. A gap of 3” (75 mm) should be left
between each side of the range ABOVE the cooktop level
and any adjacent vertical surface (Fig. 8.1).
For non-combustible surfaces (such as unpainted metal or
ceramic tiles), this can be reduced to 1”.
The maximum depth of cabinets installed above the top
surface cooking sections must be 13" (330 mm).
A minimum space of 31
/2 (800 mm) is required between the
top of the hob and a horizontal combustible surface
(Fig. 8.1).
*Any rangehood should be installed in accordance with the
hood manufacturer’s instructions.
**Any splashback must be tted in accordance with the
manufacturers instructions. Allowance should be made for the
additional height of the ue trim, which is tted to the range
hob.
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 range to any material that de-laminates or discolours at
temperatures less than 65 °C above room temperature.
If the range is near a corner of the kitchen, a clearance of
5
/8" (130 mm) is required to allow the oven doors to open
(Fig. 8.3). The actual opening of the doors is slightly less, but
this allows for some protection of your hand as you open the
door.
When Fitting Between Kitchen Cabinets
We recommend that you either:
Fit the range so that any cabinet doors are at least 5”
(127 mm) behind the range door fronts. Note that this may
require an inll piece behind the range.
We recommend a gap of 48" (1218 mm) between units to
allow for moving the range.
DO NOT box the range in – it must be possible to move the
range in and out for cleaning and servicing.
A. In the USA leave a gap of no more than
/16 (5 mm) on
either side of the range (a 48” (1218 mm) gap between
units). The range should be positioned centrally.
B. For Canada leave a gap of at least 1/2” (12 mm) on either
side of the range (a 48 1/2” (1232 mm) gap between
units). The range should be positioned centrally.
We also recommend that you DO NOT nal x any adjacent
cabinets until the range is installed. Decorative mouldings or
handles on cabinet doors and fronts may interfere with the
opening of the oven doors.
