"
(650 mm). However, if the hood
manufacturer requires a larger
distance, the larger distance takes
precedence.
If there are no specifications from the
hood manufacturer, or if easily
flammable materials (e.g., a hanging
cabinet) are installed above the
appliance, the clearance must be at
least 30" (760 mm).
If there is more than one appliance
beneath a hood (e.g. wok burner
and electric cooktop), and they have
different minimum safety distances
always observe the greater
distance.
