New Kitchen rules for distance of cooker from sink etc

Jun 03, 2013 4 Replies

Ikea mentioned this to me.



Does someone know what the rules are /link to them?



They mentioned that a cooker must be 800mm away from a sink? Theres got to be a 20mm gap between cupboard and cooker (there aint for my current cooker).



And you can't have a cooker on the end (i.e. got to have another unit on the end).



Any ideas?


Given that they sell

it seems unlikely that the sink one is correct.

Very Strange. Yep - kitchen consultant said there had to be 800mm of worktop between sink and cooker.

I expect this is just one of the their design guidelines...

The required gap to a cupboard (if any) will vary with the cooker. Some, like a slot it cooker, will require only a few mm.

There is some sense to that, but I am not aware of any hard requirement it be so.

I.e. no gap at all in practice
