Positioning the range
Fig. 11.1, Fig. 11.2 and Fig. 11.3 show the minimum 
recommended distance from the range to nearby 
combustible surfaces (see Table 11.1).
We recommend a gap of no more than ⁄” (5 mm) (see Table 
11.1) 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. 11.1).
*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.
