Mounting your
Extractor
When the extractor is to be installed
above an electric hob, the minimum
distance between the hob and
extractor must exceed 600mm
(650mm is recommended).
When the extractor is to be installed
above a gas hob, the minimum
distance between the hob and
extractor must exceed 700mm (750mm
is recommended).
If the instructions provided with your gas hob state that the required
distance between the hob and extractor must be greater than
700mm, 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 to RIDDOR
(The height should be measured from the top of the burners).
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. Fig. 5.
