Clearance Dimensions 

(Wood/Composite Overlay)

The bottom of a standard hood should be
30” (76.2 cm) min. to 36” (91.4 cm) max.
above the countertop. This would typically
result in the bottom of the hood being 
66” (167.6 cm) to 72” (182.9 cm) above the
floor. Refer to the rangehood installation
instructions for additional information. These
dimensions provide for safe and efficient
operation of the hood.
