Safety distances to the sides and
back of the hob
Ideally the hob should be installed with
plenty of space on either side. There
may be a wall at the rear and a tall unit
or wall at one side. On the other side,
however, no unit or divider should
stand higher than the hob (see
illustrations).
The following minimum distances
should be adhered to for safety
reasons:
– 50 mm to the right or left of the
worktop cut-out to the nearest piece
of furniture (e.g. tall unit).
– 50 mm from the worktop cut-out to
the rear wall.
