Gas stove installation requirements
Installing a gas stove involves several critical requirements to ensure safety and compliance with Australian regulations. Key installation requirements include maintaining a clearance of 600mm from any combustible surface above the cooktop and ensuring a 200mm horizontal clearance from downward-facing combustible surfaces. Additionally, non-combustible materials must be applied to a height of 150mm if these clearances cannot be met. Following the manufacturer’s instructions is essential to avoid voiding warranties and insurance policies. All installations must be performed by a licensed gas fitter who will also provide a certificate of compliance.

Gas cooktop installation requirements
Installing a gas cooktop requires adherence to specific safety and regulatory requirements. The cooktop must be positioned with a minimum clearance of 600mm from the range hood and 750mm from an exhaust fan. Horizontal clearances and the use of non-combustible materials where necessary are also critical. All gas cooktop installations must be carried out by a licensed gas fitter, who will ensure that the installation complies with both the manufacturer’s guidelines and Australian safety standards. This professional approach ensures safe operation and maintains the warranty and insurance coverage for your appliance.
How to fix gas cooktop igniter
If your gas cooktop igniter is not working properly, several steps can help resolve the issue. First, ensure the cooktop is clean, as food debris can block the igniter. Use a brush to gently clean around the igniter. If the igniter is still not sparking, check if it is wet or damaged and allow it to dry or consider replacing it. Verify that the gas supply is turned on and that there are no blockages in the gas line. If these steps do not fix the problem, it may be necessary to replace the igniter or call a professional gas fitter to inspect and repair the cooktop. Regular maintenance and timely repairs can help prevent future issues with your gas cooktop.
Gas Stove Installation FAQ's
If you smell gas near your stove, it’s crucial to act immediately and follow these steps to ensure your safety. First, do not panic. Calmly turn off the gas supply at the metre if it is safe to do so. Avoid using any electrical switches, appliances, or open flames, as these could ignite the gas. Open all windows and doors to ventilate the area and allow the gas to disperse. Once you’ve taken these initial steps, leave the building and contact a licensed gas fitter to inspect and repair any potential leaks. If the gas smell is strong or persistent, call emergency services right away to address the issue.
