When planning the installation height
of your cooker hood, the
safety distances between the top of
a cooker or hob and the bottom of
the cooker hood are as follows,
unless a greater distance is
specified by the manufacturer of
your cooking appliance:
450 mm above electric hobs and
cookers.
650 mm above gas hobs and
cookers
650 mm above an open grill or deep
fat fryer.
See "Warning and Safety" instructions
for further information.
– When deciding on the safety
distance between the hob and
cooker hood, please note that a
distance of 650 mm above electric
cookers/hobs may be preferable to
give more working space under the
hood.
– Account should also be taken of the
height of the person who will be
using the hood most often. The
person should have sufficient space
to work comfortably at the hob, and
also be able to reach the hood
controls with ease.
– If positioned too high, extraction will
be inefficient.
– The height of the cooking appliance
must be taken into account when
planning the installation height of the
cooker hood.
