MINIMUM CLEARANCE MEASUREMENTS
A� OVERHEAD CLEARANCE — (Measurement A)
Rangehoods and exhaust fans must be installed
in accordance with the manufacturer’s relevant
instructions.
However, in no case should the clearance
between the highest part of the hob of the
gas cooking appliance and a rangehood be less
than 600mm or, for an overhead exhaust fan,
750mm.
B & C� SIDE CLEARANCE
— (Measurements B & C) Where B, measured
from the periphery of the nearest burner to
any vertical combustible surface, or vertical
combustible surface covered with toughened
glass or sheet metal, is less than 200mm,
the surface shall be protected to a height C of
not less than 150mm above the hob for the
full dimension (width or depth) of the cooking
surface area.
Where the gas cooking appliance is fitted with
a ‘splashback’, protection of the rear wall is not
required.
