Installation recommendations
- We recommend a minimum distance
of 27 ⁹/₁₆" (700 mm) and a maximum
distance of 51 ³/₁₆" (1,300 mm).
- Please note that the greater the
distance from the cooktop, the less
effective the hood is at drawing in the
cooking vapors.
- To achieve optimum vapor extraction,
the ventilation system must be
centered over the cooktop, not to the
side or behind.
- The cooktop should be no wider than
the hood. Preferably, it should be
narrower for better extraction.
- If the ventilation hood is being
installed in a suspended ceiling, the
installation surface all around the
hood must be at least 12" (300 mm)
larger than the hood itself.
- The mounting area must be easily
accessible. The ventilation hood
should be easy to reach and
disassemble in case a service call is
necessary. This should be taken into
consideration when planning the
position of cabinetry, shelves,
ceilings or decorative elements in the
vicinity of the ventilation hood.
