Overhead cabinet Rangehood Installation position
It is important to consider the benchtop and overhead cabinetry depth before installing the rangehood.
The information below is to be used as a guide only, drawings are not to scale and do not account
for all circumstances.
The cooktop is centrally installed in the benchtop in the diagrams below.

When the overhead cabinetry is
constructed and installed deeper
than standard, ensure the rangehood
is installed as close to the front
as possible. This will increase the
rangehood extraction results as there
is a greater coverage of the cooktop
surface area.
