Positioning the Cooker

Fig.7-1 shows the minimum recommended distance from the 

cooker to nearby surfaces.
The cooker should not be placed on a base.
The hotplate surround should be level with, or above, 

any adjacent work surface. A gap of 75 mm should be left 

between each side of the cooker ABOVE the hotplate level 

and any adjacent vertical surface.
For non-combustible surfaces (such as unpainted metal or 

ceramic tiles), this can be reduced to 25 mm.
A minimum space of 650 mm is required between the top of 

the hob and a horizontal combustible surface.
Fig.7-2 shows the suggested clearances above the cooker.

*Any cookerhood should be installed in accordance with the 

hood manufacturer’s instructions.

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 

cooker to any material that de-laminates or discolours at 

temperatures less than 65 °C above room temperature.
We recommend a gap of 910 mm (920 mm for induction 

cookers) between units to allow for moving the cooker. Do 

not box the cooker in – it must be possible to move the 

cooker in and out for cleaning and servicing.
If the cooker is near a corner of the kitchen, a clearance of 

130 mm is required to allow the oven doors to open (Fig.7-3). 

The actual opening of the doors is slightly less, but this allows 

for some protection of your hand as you open the door.

Moving the Cooker

On no account try and move the cooker while it is 

plugged into the electricity supply.

The cooker is very heavy, so take great care.

We recommend that two people manoeuvre the cooker. 

Make sure that the floor covering is firmly fixed, or removed, 

to prevent it being disturbed when moving the cooker 

around.
To help you, there are two levelling rollers at the back, and 

two screw-down levelling feet at the front.
Remove the polystyrene base pack. From the front, tilt 

the cooker backwards and remove the front half of the 

polystyrene base (Fig.7-4). Repeat from the back and remove 

the rear half of the polystyrene base.
