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 under RIDDOR (The height
should be measured from the top of the burners).
Below is a guide to accompany Fig. 4
