Safety distance above an interim
shelf
It is not necessary to fit an interim shelf
underneath the hob.
If an interim shelf is fitted underneath
the hob, a minimum safety distance of
110 mm must be maintained between
the top of the worktop and the top of
the interim shelf.
A gap of at least 10 mm must be
provided between the rear edge of the
interim shelf and the back panel of the
housing unit to allow the mains cable to
be fed through.
If the hob has an external mains
connection box, this gap must be at
least 30 mm.
Safety distance above the hob
A minimum safety distance must be
maintained between the appliance and
the cooker hood above it. See the
cooker hood manufacturer's operating
and installation instructions for details.
If the manufacturer's instructions are
not available for the cooker hood, a
minimum safety distance of at least
760 mm must be maintained. For any
flammable objects, e.g. utensil rails,
wall units etc. a minimum distance of at
least 760 mm must be maintained
between them and the appliance
below.
When two or more appliances are
installed together below a cooker
hood, e.g. a gas wok and a ceramic
hob, which have different safety
distances given in the installation
instructions, you should select the
greater distance of the two.
