The following information provides general assistance on the installation of kitchen appliances. Always refer to manufacturers instructions for exact sizes or venting requirements. PLEASE NOTE: When planning to install integrated appliances, always check for surface pipes, switches, sockets or other obstructions. A two inch plastic sink waste on the wall behind an appliance can prevent installation. It is often possible to increase the width of the worktop to accomodate any permanent obstructions, but this must be surveyed carefully. Unless otherwise stated, all appliances are designed to be fitted in kitchens (or sections) with worktops minimum width 600mm.
