Distance between cooktop and hood
Do not install this exhaust hood over cooktops burning solid fuel.
Provided a larger distance is not given by the manufacturer of the cooktop,
follow the minimum safety distances between a cooktop and the bottom of the
hood:
Miele Cooktops Non-Miele
Cooktops
Electric Cooktops 24" (610 mm)
Electric Barbeques and Fryers 26" (660 mm)
Multiburner Gas cooktops
< 43,000 BTU (12.6 KW)
and no burner > 15,000 BTU (4.5 KW)
26" (660 mm) 30" (760 mm)
Single burner (Wok) < 20,500 BTU (6 KW) 26" (660 mm) 30" (760 mm)
All other gas cooktops 30" (760 mm)
– If several gas surfaces are installed under the hood, the total output must be
considered when determining the minimum safety distance.
– When installing a wood or laminate decor panel onto the cooker hood, regard
the cooktop manufacturer’s advice on the use of easily flammable material
above the cooktop. If not otherwise specified in the instructions, ensure a
distance of at least 30” (760 mm) from the gas cooktop.
– If local building codes require a greater safety distance, follow their requirement.
– If there is more than one appliance beneath the hood and they have different
minimum safety distances always select the greater distance.
