Clearance Dimensions
(Wood/Composite Overlay)
The bottom of a standard hood should be 30" (76.2 cm) min. to 36" (91.4 cm) max.
above the countertop. This would typically result in the bottom of the hood being 66"
(167.6 cm) to 72" (182.9 cm) above the floor. Refer to the range hood installation
instructions for additional information.
These dimensions provide for safe and efficient operation of the hood.
Important: There must be a minimum of 6" (15.2 cm) clearance from rear of range
to a combustible wall. Clearances from non-combustible materials are not part of
the ANSI Z21. 1 scope and are not certified by CSA. Clearances to non-combustible
materials must be approved by the authority having jurisdiction.
