Spacing between cooker and fridge in kitchen

Question

How far apart should I place the fridge-freezer and cooker in the kitchen? Are there any regulations or any guides to their placement?

David · Accepted Answer

If by a cooker you mean built-in oven, they can be placed next to each other.  If you mean a free-standing cooker and a tall fridge freezer in units then you'd probably want to put a 30cm unit between them  so you can turn the handles of saucepans round on the front rings, it may be dangerous if you put them right next to each other.  If it's a 60cm hob only, put it over a 90 or 100cm unit and centralise the hob then put the fridge freezer as the next unit.  Lastly, if you are considering a free-standing cooker and free-standing fridge freezer, you would need to leave at least 30cm gap so you can turn the handles of saucepans round on the front rings for safety, but I think the actual heat regulation is 10cm.

there are no legal requirements 
and if the cooker or fridge are going inside a unit you can butt them sider by side 
if its a tall fridge next to oven  minimum would be 150mm

If they are in housings then there isn’t any regulation. If they are free standing as far as I know there isn’t any regulation.
Modern oven/cookers shouldn’t release any heat out, fridges heat regulators at at the back so wont affect the oven.
To be sure I would check with the manufacturer or supplier of the appliances.

Hello there, you want to be looking at a 20 inch gap between cooker and fridge-freezer.

Gicu · Answer

close the refrigerator door when you take out the food. It is also a useful area for shopping. .respect the triangle rule in the location of the refrigerator, the stove and the sink, the side being from 40-60 cm to a maximum of 3 m, with a perimeter between 4 and 8 linear meters.
