Installation
Installation recommendations
– When deciding on the safety
distance between the cooktop and
rangehood, please note that a
distance of 650 mm above electric
cooktops may be preferable to give
more working space under the
rangehood.
– Account should also be taken of the
height of the person who will be
using the rangehood most often.
They should have sufficient space to
work comfortably at the cooktop,
and be able to reach the rangehood
controls with ease.
– If positioned too high, extraction will
be inefficient.
– To achieve optimum vapour
extraction, the rangehood must cover
the cooktop. It should be positioned
centrally over the cooktop, not to the
side.
– The cooktop should be no wider than
the rangehood, and if possible, it
should be narrower, especially for
distances greater than 750 mm.
– The installation area must be easily
accessible. The rangehood should be
easily accessible and easy to
dismantle in the event that service is
required. This should be taken into
consideration when planning the
position of cupboards, shelves,
ceilings or features in the vicinity of
the rangehood.
