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.
Above hotplate surround should be level with, or above, any
adjacent work surface.
A gap of 1

/16” (30 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 gap is not required.
The maximum depth of cabinets installed above the top
surface cooking sections must be 13" (330 mm).
A minimum space of 31 ½" (800 mm) is required between the
top of the cooktop 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
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.
We recommend a gap of

/5” (5 mm) either side of the
appliance for moving the range. It must be possible to move
the range in and out for cleaning and servicing.
If the range is near a corner of the kitchen, a clearance of 3
½” (90 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.
