Safety Distance Between Hob and Cooker Hood
When planning the installation height of your cooker hood, the minimum safe distance between the
top of a cooker or hob and the bottom of the cooker hood should be at least 650mm, unless a greater
distance is specified by the manufacturer of your cooking appliance.
• When deciding on the safe distance between the hob and cooker hood, please note that a distance greater
than 650mm above electric cookers/hobs may be preferable to give more working space under the hood.
• Account should also be taken of the height of the person who will be using the hood most often. The person
should have sufficient space to work comfortably at the hob, and also be able to reach the hood controls with
ease.
• Please be aware that if positioned too high, extraction will be inefficient.
• If you want the top of the cooker hood telescopic extension piece to be mounted flush with the ceiling, make
sure there is adequate space below the appliance for safe operation.
