Installation recommendations
– When deciding on the safety distance
between the cooktop and rangehood,
please note that a distance of 650
mm above electric cooktops may be
preferable to give more working
space under the rangehood.
– Account should also be taken of the
height of the person who will be
using the rangehood most often.
They should have sufficient space to
work comfortably at the cooktop, and
be able to reach the rangehood
controls with ease.
– If positioned too high, extraction will
be inefficient.
– To achieve optimum vapour
extraction, the rangehood must be
positioned centrally over the cooktop,
not to the side.
– The cooktop should be no wider than
the rangehood and, if possible, it
should be narrower, especially for
safety distances greater than
750 mm.
– The installation area must be easily
accessible. The rangehood should be
easily accessible and easy to
dismantle in the event that service is
required. This should be taken into
consideration when planning the
position of cupboards, shelves,
ceilings or features in the vicinity of
the rangehood.
