The minimum safety distance given by the hood manufacturer must be maintained between the cooktop and the hood above it. See the installation instructions of the hood for these safety measurements.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS - INSTALLATION Safety distances to the sides and rear of the cooktop If you are installing a cooktop, it is allowed to have cabinets or walls of any height on one side and at the rear, but on the other side there must be no appliance or furniture standing higher than the cooktop (see illustrations). Not allowed Following minimum safety clearances must be kept: – 50 mm to the right or left of the countertop cut-out to the nearest piece of furniture (e.g., a tall cupboard).
