Safety distance between hob and cooker hood
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 is 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.
–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. 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.
