To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over heated surface units, cabinet storage
space located above the surface units should be avoided. If cabinet storage is to be provided,
the risk can be reduced by installing a range hood. These hoods have been designed to work
in conjunction with the range and have the same finish for a perfect look.
For maximum performance, the height of the bottom of the hood from the worktop should be
between 30" (76.2 cm) and 36" (91.4 cm). This would typically result in the bottom of the
hood being 61 1/2" (156.2 cm) to 67 1/2" (171.5 cm) above the floor. These measurements
provide for safe and efficient operation of the hood.
Before installation of the exhaust hood, consult local or regional building and installation
codes for additional specific clearance requirements.
Refer to the range hood installation instructions provided by the manufacturer for additional
information.
