Appliance dimensions
Do not install this exhaust hood over cooktops burning solid fuel.
Provided a larger distance is not given by the manufacturer of the cooktop, follow the minimum safety distances between a cooktop and the bottom of the hood:
-22" (550 mm) above electric cooktops,
-30" (762 mm) above gas cooktops,
-26" (650 mm) above an open electric grill or an open electric boiler/fryer.
If local building codes require a greater safety distance, follow their requirement.
If there is more than one appliance beneath the hood and they have different minimum safety distances always select the greater distance.
See "Important Safety Instructions" for further information.
Cut out area in wall or ceiling for entrance of 6" (150 mm) ductwork or 5" (125 mm)
ductwork with a reducing collar.
Distance between cooktop and hood (S)
The installation procedure differs depending on the model and venting method.
Before beginning the installation:
^Read all instructions.
^Determine height (S), regarding the user’s body height, i.e. a comfortable height for the user.
However, the greater the distance the less effectively cooking odors are drawn in.
^If the hood is fitted flush to the ceiling, regard the possible unit height when selecting the installation height.
Standard unit height (H):
Air Extraction . . . . . . . . 29 5/16" - 41 9/16"
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (745 - 1055 mm)
