200 mm, the surface shall be protected (in accordance withAS/NZS5601.1) to a height of not less
than 150 mm above the hob for the full dimension (width or depth) of the cooking surface area.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
THIS APPLIANCE SHALL NOT BE USED AS A SPACE HEATER, ESPECIALLY IF
INSTALLED IN MARINE CRAFT OR CARAVANS.
The installation shall comply with the dimensions in gs. 2a, 2b bearing in mind that:
■A 40mm ventilation gap must be provided between the bottom of the appliance and
any cabinetry, draw unit, thermal protection barrier or appliance.
■If the cooktop is installed directly above an oven (which does not have a cooling fan
motor) or if its base is accessible through a cupboard or drawer space after installation,
a thermal protection barrier must be installed below the base of the cooktop as
indicated in g. 2c.
■If the oven installed below the cooktop has a cooling fan motor, the thermal protection
barrier is not required.
■If the cooktop is installed above an oven, the two appliances shall be connected to the
gas and/or electrical supply with independent connections.
■Overhead clearances - In no case shall the clearance between the highest part of
the hob and a range hood be less than 600 mm, or for an overhead exhaust fan 750
mm. Any other downward facing combustible surface less than 600 mm above the
highest part of the hob shall be protected for the full width and depth of the cooking

this clearance to any surface be less than 450 mm.
HEIGHT OF THE TOP OF THE PAN SUPPORTS WITH RESPECT TO THE BENCH
TOP SURFACE: 44.2 mm ±3.
Standards requirement
Temperature of nearby surfaces. Australian and New Zealand Gas Installation Standards
(AS/NZS5601.1) require a cooktop to be installed so that the surface temperature of any
nearby combustible surface will not exceed 65°C above ambient.
This is typically achieved by:
■ having the cooktop spaced away from the wall (see gures 2a, 2b);
AND
■protecting the wall to a height of at least 150 mm along its length (minimum height of
non-combustible material when used on adjacent walls) with non-combustible surface
materials such as:
– 5 mm-thick ceramic tiles (these alone are adequate);
– tempered glass or sheetmetal, minimum thickness 0.4 mm (acceptable when used
in front of a re resistant material).

■The burner must be chosen according to the
diameter of the pans and energy required.
■The largest can be used for boiling, to seal meat
or foods that are cooked quickly, and the smallest
for stews and sauces.
■Always ensure that you use the correct size of
saucepan.
■ For fast boiling, make sure the ame just reaches the edge of the pan. Flames going
up the side of the pan means wasted heat and the contents of the pan will take longer
to boil.
■ For optimum e󰀩ciency use a wok or pan no smaller than 230mm diameter.
■Saucepans with handles which are excessively heavy, in relationship to the weight of
the pan, are safer as they are less likely to tip.
■ Pans which are positioned centrally on burners are more stable than those which are o󰀨set.
■It is far safer to position the pan handles in such a way that they cannot be accidentally
knocked.
■ When deep fat frying:
– Fill the pan only one third full of oil.
– DO NOT cover the pan with a lid and DO NOT leave the pan unattended.
– In the unfortunate event of a re, leave the pan where it is and turn o󰀨 all controls.
– Place a damp cloth or correct tting lid over the pan to smother the ames.
– DO NOT use water on the re.
– Leave the pan to cool for at least 30 minutes.
