Safety distances
Safety distances to the sides and
back of the cooktop
Ideally the cooktop should be installed
with plenty of space on either side.
There may be a wall at the rear or a tall
unit or wall on one side (right or left).
On the other side, however, no tall unit
or wall should stand closer than
300 mm to the edge of the cooktop.
Before installing the cooktop, check
that the below clearance requirements
are met.
Minimum horizontal distance from the
back edge of the cooktop to a vertical
surface:
50 mm
Minimum horizontal distance from the
right edge of the cooktop to a vertical
surface:
50 mm
Minimum horizontal distance from left
edge of the cooktop to a vertical
surface:
50 mm

Safety distances underneath the
cooktop
To ensure sufficient ventilation to the
cooktop, a certain gap must be left
between the underside of the cooktop
and any oven, interim shelf or drawer.
The minimum gap between the
underside of the cooktop and
– the top of an oven is 15 mm.
– the top of an interim shelf is 15 mm.
– the base of a drawer is 75 mm.
Interim shelf
It is not necessary to fit an interim shelf
underneath the cooktop, but one may
be fitted if you wish.
Leave a gap of 10 mm at the back of
the shelf to accommodate the cable.
We recommend a gap at the front of the
shelf of 20 mm to ensure good
ventilation.
