Safety regulations re placement of a gas cooktop
Hi all
After many months of a "temporary kitchen" (in the laundry), the pressure is on to do something about it.
The kitchen area is very small in an old stone and rubble house, so I don't have a lot of design choices. The best (maybe only) spot to put the (standard 60cm) cooktop is on a leg of a U shaped bench. that leg would run immediately behind a door leading to the laundry, the direction of the door opening being towards the bench ie it would open on to the bench.
Obviously I can put a stop on the floor, and I can maybe offset the bench 100mm back (but I would be cribbing from the 900mm user workspace in the middle of the U). And I could put a back on the bench near the door, but that would look ugly. I can make the bench 700mm instead of 600mm deep, and the knobs are at the front (ie on the interior of the U). There are no small children in the house (well, a 16 year old) .
Overall, I am happy with this design, but are there any safety regulations about the placement of the cooktop and its proximity to a door? .. I am in NSW, btw
thanks
