Standard Rangehood Height

The minimum standard rangehood height above an electric cooktop is 600mm and the minimum standard rangehood height above a gas cooktop is 650mm.

This distance is measured from the top-most part of the cooktop to the underside of the rangehood.

Example: Given that the standard benchtop height is 900mm, a rangehood sitting over an electric cooktop (nominal 6mm height) will be approximately 1506mm above the floor.

Note: The higher the rangehood is mounted above the bench, the stronger the rangehood motor needs to be to effectively draw steam from the cooking surface.

Handy Tip - For the effective removal of steam from the cooking area, always choose a wider rangehood width than your cooktop.
