Clearances & dimensions
The room should have good light and
ventilation but be free from draughts.
The worktop should be at least
600mm deep, & 30mm thick to
enable the cutout to be made to the
dimensions shown below.
A minimum distance of 40mm should
be maintained between the hob and
rear wall / combustible surface.
A minimum distance of 78mm should
be maintained between the hob and
any side walls / combustible surface.
Surfaces which are non-combustible, or
are protected with suitable non-com-
bustible material, may have reduced
clearances. Refer to New World for
guidance.
We recommend ceramic tiling for the
rear wall directly behind the hob.
No shelf or overhang of combustible
material should be closer than 650mm
above the hob.
Extractor or cooker hoods should only
be fitted above the hob in accordance
with the manufacturer’s instructions.
No combustible materials or flamma-
ble liquids should be stored below the
hob.
Sufficient length of cable should be
allowed so the hob can be removed
for servicing, but make sure it is routed
away from the underside of the hob &
does not get trapped during installa-
tion.
Important: Ensure that you route all
electrical cables and flexible tubing
well clear of any adjacent heat source
- eg; oven / grill.
