INSTALLATION
OVERHEAD CABINET RANGEHOOD INSTALLATION POSITION
It is important to consider the benchtop and overhead cabinetry depth before installing the rangehood.
The information below is to be used as a guide only, drawings are not to scale and do not account for all
circumstances.
The cooktop is centrally installed in the benchtop in the diagrams below.

Side View
BETTER
Side View
BEST
Side View
When the overhead cabinetry is constructed and installed deeper than standard, ensure the rangehood is
installed as close to the front as possible. This will increase the rangehood extraction results as there is a greater
coverage of the cooktop surface area.
* Overhead cabinets standard depth are approximately 300-310mm. This provides poor extraction for the
rangehood as the surface area of the cooktop is not covered, particularly the front burners.

COOKING WITH INDUCTION
COOKTOPS
may produce condensation on the rangehood.
Unlike basic electric or gas cooking, induction
cooktops heat food and liquid instantly, which in
have enough time to warm up, which increases the
chance of condensation forming.
There are many variables that may contribute
to condensation forming, some of which include
but are not limited to:
• Variance in climate – geographical location.
• Position of your home & kitchen – morning/
afternoon sun.
• Distance from cooktop to the rangehood.
• Speed of food & liquid heating.
•
•
• Quality of pots or cookware you are using –
high quality is recommended.
How to reduce the possibility of condensation
forming:
