Installation recommendations
– When deciding on the safety
distance between the hob and
coo
ker 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
usin
g the hood most often. They
should have sufficient space to work
comfortably at the hob, and be able
to reach the hood controls with ease.
– Please be aware that if positioned
t
oo high, extraction will be inefficient.
– To achieve optimum vapour
e
xtraction, the cooker hood must
cover the hob. It should be
positioned centrally over the hob, not
to the side or to the back of it.
– The hob should be no wider than the
coo
ker hood, and if possible, it
should be narrower.
– The installation area must be easily
acce
ssible. The cooker hood should
be easily accessible and easy to
dismantle in the event that service is
required. This should be taken into
consideration when planning the
position of cupboards, shelves,
ceilings or features in the vicinity of
the cooker hood.
