Installation
Installation recommendations
–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. 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 too high, extraction will be inefficient.
–To achieve optimum vapour extraction, 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 cooker hood, and if possible, it should be narrower.
–The installation area must be easily accessible. 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.
