Distance between cooktop and hood (S)
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:
Miele Cooktops
Non-Miele
Cooktops
Electric Cooktops
24" (610 mm)
Electric Barbeques and Fryers
26" (660 mm)
Multiburner Gas cooktops
< 43,000 BTU (12.6 KW)
and no burner > 15,000 BTU (4.5 KW)
26" (660 mm)
30" (760 mm)
Single burner (Wok) < 20,500 BTU (6 KW)
26" (660 mm)
30" (760 mm)
All other gas cooktops
30" (760 mm)
– If several gas surfaces are installed under the hood, the total output must be
considered when determining the minimum safety distance.
– Be sure to follow the minimum safety distances given by the gas cooktop
manufacturer to easily flammable materials e.g. upper cabinets.
– 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.
– To ensure free access to work under the ventilation hood, a distance of a
minimum of 26" (660 mm) above the electric cooktop is also recommended.
– Take the user's body height into consideration when selecting the installation
height. Adequate work space at the cooktop and optimal operation of the
ventilation system should be ensured.
– However, the greater the distance from the cooktop, the less effectively cooking
odors are drawn in.
– If the top of the hoods telescopic extension piece will be mounted flush to the
ceiling, regard the possible unit height when selecting the installation height.
