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.
Appliance dimensions
– 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.
– If you want the top of the cooker
hood to be mounted flush with the
ceiling, make sure there is adequate
space below it for working. See
