–However, we recommend a minimum distance of 700 mm and a maximum distance of 1300 mm.

Please be aware that if positioned too high, extraction will be inefficient.

The cooker hood must cover the hob to ensure optimum extraction of cooking vapours:

–The cooker hood should be positioned centrally over the hob, not offset to one side or to the rear.

–The hob should be smaller than the cooker hood if possible, and no larger than equal size.
