should b e certified suitable for this temperature.
Refer to figure 7 for required clearances around appliance.
NOTE 1 :
fire resistant material (eg ceramic tiles) is required to 450 mm
above burner top if wall or vertical structures are within 200mm
from burner. ;.I
NOTE 2 :
rangehood and exhaust system are not permitted within 600 mm
above burner tops.
3) BENCHTOP CUTOUT
The cutout in the bench-top should be made using the
dimensions given in figure 7 - 8 or 9 the template provided.
