be purchased separately.

supporting surface for the cooking vessels on
the hob and the lowest part of the range hood
must be not less than 50cm from electric
cookers and 65cm from gas or mixed
cookers.
If the instructions for installation for the gas
hob specify a greater distance, this must be
adhered to.

hoods and fuel-burning appliances connected to
a chimney, such as coal or oil room-heaters
and gas fires, in the same room.
• Hoods can only be used safely with
appliances connected to a chimney if the
room and/or flat (air/environment
combination) is ventilated from outside using
a suitable ventilation hole approximately 500600 cm2 large to avoid the possibility of a
depression being created during operation of
the hood.
• If you have any doubts, contact the relevant
controlling authority or building inspector’s
office.
• Since the rule for rooms with fuel burning
appliances is “outlet hole of the same size as
the ventilation hole”, a hole of 500-600 cm2,
which is to say a larger hole, could reduce the
performance of the extractor hood.
