Minimum safety distances un‐
derneath the hob
To ensure sufficient ventilation to the
hob, a cer
tain gap must be left between
the underside of the hob and any oven,
interim shelf or drawer.
The minimum gap between the under‐
side of the hob and
– the top of an oven is 15 mm.
– the top of an int
erim shelf is 15 mm.
– the base of a dr
awer is 75 mm.
Interim shelf
It is not necessary to fit an interim shelf
underneath the hob but one may be fit‐
t
ed if you wish.
Leave a gap of 10 mm at the back of
the shelf t
o accommodate the cable.
We recommend a gap at the front of the
shelf of 20 mm to ensure good ventila‐
tion.
