To determine whether a ventilation hood may be operated above
your co

the appliance's manufacturer.
Safety regulations prohibit the installation of a ventilation hood
above soli

Insufficient distance between the cooking appliance and the ven‐
tilation hood can r
esult in damage to the hood.
The minimum safety distances between the appliance and the bot‐
tom of the ventilation hood specified in the "Installation" section
must be maintained, unless the appliance's manufacturer has indi‐
cated that a greater distance is required.
If more than one cooking appliance is used beneath the ventilation
hood, and if different minimum safety distances apply for these ap‐
pliances, you should use the greater distance.
