TABLE 6.9
MINIMUM CLEARANCES AROUND COOKING SURFACE AREA

mm
(a) Above the cooking surface of agas appliancenot covered in Table 6.8 600
(b) Subject to (c), from a cooking surface area having an open ame and no
means of preventing cooking vessels from overhanging the edge of the gas
appliance.
250
(c) From the side of an open amegas appliance, where thecombustible
surface is at least 100 mm below a cooking surface area
50
(d) From a gas applianceueway or rear of a gasappliancewith a
‘splashback’
50
(e) From the rear or side of a gas appliancewhich is not an open amegas
cooking appliance
50
NOTES:
1The cooking surface area is dened as being that part of the gasappliance where cooking normally
takes place and does not include those parts of the gasappliancecontaining control knobs.
2Example: If a timber preparation table is adjacent to a commercial range, and the table has a
combustible surfacethat is 100 mm below thehob, then 50 mm clearance is required from the range.
Any combustible surfacehigher than that would need to have at least 250 mm clearance, or be
protected.
3These clearances do not apply where an adjacent surface is of a non-combustible materialor is
combustible but is protected with re resistant material. The re resistant material may be covered
by ceramic tiles or stainless steel to meet appropriate requirements relating to health protection.
4Care should be taken where acombustible surfaceis covered by a non-combustible material. For
example, covering a combustible surfacewith stainless steel will not prevent heat transfer, and in
some circumstances a hazardous situation could arise.
5Refer to Clause 6.3.7 for requirements regardinggas appliances above a source of cooking vapour,
steam or grease.
6.10.2.2Clearances to a grease lter
The clearance between a grease lter and the cooking surface of the gas applianceslisted in
Table 6.8 shall not be less than that given in the table.

NOTES:
1The clearances may be reduced where an exhaust system over the gas appliance has re extinguishing
provisions.
2For other commercial catering equipment, refer to the manufacturer’s relevant instructions.
Leave a clearance of at least 200mm between the appliance and any combustible surface.
Water Connection;
e water connection is 15mm copper and is situated at the rear of the appliance below the main body frame.
e number of water inlets varies to client’s particular needs. Water isolation valves are tted to all water
inlets. Ensure water is ushed through before nal connection.Water waste outlet is located on the le hand
side of the waste gutter of the appliance (50mm connection). e water inlets and water drains should be
connected with rigid copper pipes. We do not recommend the usage of plastic/PVC piping for connection of
waste outlet.
