Safety clearance above the cooktop
A minimum safety clearance must be
maintained between the cooktop and
the rangehood above it. See the
rangehood manufacturer’s operating
and installation instructions for details.
If the manufacturer’s instructions are
not available for the rangehood, a
minimum safety clearance of at least
760 mm above the burner cap must be
maintained. For any flammable objects,
e.g. utensil rails, wall units etc. a
minimum clearance of at least 760 mm
above the burner cap must be
maintained between them and the
cooktop below.
When two or more appliances are
installed together below a
rangehood, e.g. a gas cooktop and
an induction cooktop combiset,
which have different safety
clearances given in the installation
instructions, you should select the
greater clearance of the two.
Side / rear clearances to the cooktop
Ideally the cooktop should be installed
with plenty of space on either side.
There may be a wall at the rear and a
tall unit or wall on one side. On the
other side, however, no unit or divider
should stand higher than the cooktop
(see illustrations).
