Safety distance between hob and
cooker hood (S)
When planning the installation height
of your cooker hood, the minimum
safety distance 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 (GB), 600 mm (AU, NZ)
above electric hobs and
cookers.
– 650 mm above an open grill or
deep fat fryer.
– 650 mm above gas hobs and
cookers
If this cooker hood is installed above
a Miele Wok CS 1028 CombiSet
appliance, a minimum safety
distance of 760 mm must be
maintained between the burner and
the lower edge of the cooker hood.
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.
– Please be aware that if positioned
too high, extraction will be inefficient.
