surfaces, e.g. a tall cupboard end panel. This may be reduced to
100mm if the adjacent surface is resistant to fire (tiles or steel, for

intake, from the air outlet and in the base and run of units into which
it is installed (Fig 3). Failure to allow sufficient ventilation could cause
damage to the hob and constitutes incorrect installation, which is not
covered by the warranty.

induction hob to exhaust air into the kitchen space.
•
The recommended ventilation sizes are for guidance only.
If fitting a cooker hood above the hob:
If a cooker hood is to be installed above the hob, the height of
the hood above the hob must be at least 600mm (650mm is
