Installation - height
When the extractor is to be
installed above a
CDA
electric
hob, the minimum distance
between the hob and extractor
must exceed 650mm.
When the extractor is to be
installed above a
CDA
gas hob,
the minimum distance between
the hob and extractor must
exceed 750mm.
If the instructions provided with your gas hob state that the required
distance between the hob and extractor must be greater than 750mm,
then that is the distance that should be observed; this is a legal
requirement and may lead to your hob being disconnected from the
gas supply and the installation being reported under RIDDOR.
Note:
The height should be measured from the top of the hob’s
burners to the grease filter.
•
IN THE ABSENCE OF ANY INSTRUCTIONS SUPPLIED WITH
THE GAS HOB, THE MINIMUM DISTANCE BETWEEN THE HOB
AND EXTRACTOR MUST BE AT LEAST 760mm.
•
The width of any hob must not be greater than the width of the
extractor installed above it.
•
Always bear servicing in mind. The extractor should always be
easily accessible or removeable after installation.
