Safety distance above the hob
A minimum safety distance must be
maintained between the hob and the
cooker hood above it. See the cooker
hood manufacturer's operating and
installation instructions for details.
If the manufacturer's instructions are
not available for the cooker hood, a
minimum safety distance of at least
760 mm must be maintained.
For any flammable objects, e.g. utensil
rails, wall units etc. a minimum distance
of at least 760 mm must be maintained
between them and the hob below.
When two or more appliances are
installed together below a cooker
hood, e.g. a gas hob and an
induction hob combiset, which have
different safety distances given in
the installation instructions, you
should select the greater distance of
the two.
