Installation recommendations

– We also recommend a distance of at

least 25 1/2" (650 mm) above electric

cooktops to provide more workspace

and easier cooking under the hood.

– When selecting an installation height,

always take the user height into

consideration. Users should have

ample space to work comfortably on

the cooktop and reach the ventilation

hood controls with ease.

– Please note that the greater the

distance from the cooktop, the less

effective the hood is at drawing in the

cooking vapors.

– To achieve optimal vapor extraction,

make sure that the hood covers the

cooktop. The hood should be

positioned centrally over the

cooktop, not to the side or rear.

– The cooktop should be no wider than

the hood. Preferably, it should be

narrower.

– The mounting area must be easily

accessible. The ventilation hood

should be easy to reach and

disassemble in case a service call is

necessary. This should be taken into

consideration when planning the

position of cupboards, shelves,

ceilings or decorative elements in the

vicinity of the ventilation hood.

accompanying installation sheet.

 When installing a custom back wall

with pre-drilled holes, please refer to

the drilling distances in the drawing

above (screws  3/16" (5 mm)).

* The dimension for the middle wall

bracket is variable. It will depend on the

position of the wall vent and the socket.

It should be set as low as possible.
