A kitchen without a hood is very bad, because during cooking, smells go all over the room and are absorbed into the wallpaper, curtains and become very unpleasant. Therefore, many people buy such necessary kitchen appliances, but after purchasing many questions arise. For example, many are interested in what should be the height of the hood above gas stove.
For the correct installation of the hood, you should start from the following parameters:
Above gas stove the hood is mounted at a height of 75 to 85 centimeters
Above electric stove the height of the hood will be from 65 to 75 centimeters
- you bought an inclined hood... Here, the height of the lower part varies from 55 to 65 cm above the gas stove, and from 35 to 45 cm above the electric stove.
You can change the above distances within these ten centimeters, depending on the power of the hood. And if your air purifier is of low power and you mount it at a maximum distance of 85 cm, then there is no guarantee that your hood will do its job perfectly.
When installing a hood above the stove, you need to know the following:
- the installation height of the hood is specifically indicated in the passport to the model... But this mark is not very clear, most likely, it is considered to be a certain range. And you can vary the height indicated in the instructions and build on the design of the kitchen or the height of the hostess
- do not neglect the recommended installation height for the hood... The quality of the equipment and your safety depend on this. And if you go beyond the upper limit of the distance indicator, then the hood will work ineffectively and during operation it will not capture all the steam from the stove. In the case of a gas stove, grease dust settles on the hood filters and this can be a source of ignition from an open fire on the stove. And if you go beyond the lower limit, there is a possibility of fire. In addition, if you hang the hood very low, then it will simply interfere with cooking.
- installing an outlet for the hood is also a very important issue. The height of the outlet for the air purifier is usually between two and two and a half meters. And they always set her higher kitchen furniture - pencil cases and cabinets and it doesn't matter at all how the air outlet will go - it should not block the outlet. Therefore, shift the socket twenty centimeters to the right or left of the center of the device.
At what height should the hood be hung?
A kitchen without a hood is not very pleasant - during cooking, the smells spread throughout the apartment, are absorbed into the wallpaper, into the curtains and completely cease to seem fragrant. That is why the question of the advisability of acquiring a hood cannot stand, it is obvious that one cannot do without it. But after the purchase, other important questions appear, one of which is - at what height should the hood be hung?
What is the optimal installation height for the hood?
To begin with, the height of the hood installation above the stove is always indicated in the description of a particular model. Of course, this is not a clear mark, but a certain range in which you can vary, starting, for example, from the design of the kitchen or from the growth of the hostess. However, if the instruction is lost or you do not trust it, there are standards that determine the distance from the hood to the stove. First of all, for proper installation, it is important to consider the type of hob:
- hood height above the gas stove ranges from 75-85 cm
- the installation height of the hood above the electric stove is 65-75 cm.
If we are talking about an inclined hood, then the height of the lower part:
- above the gas stove should be about 55-65 cm
- above electric - 35-45 cm.
Also, the distance between the stove and the hood can be changed within these 10 cm, depending on the power of the device for purifying the air. For example, if kitchen hood low power to fix at the maximum allowable distance, there is no guarantee that it will fully cope with its task.
Why is it important to stick to restrictions?
The recommended installation height of the hood is an indicator that cannot be neglected, because the quality of the equipment and safety depends on it. If you go beyond the upper limit of the indicated distance, the efficiency of the hood will significantly decrease, it will not capture all the steam. If we go beyond the lower limit, then it increases 
the likelihood of fire. In the case of a gas cooker, grease dust deposited on the hood filters can be ignited by an open fire. Finally, low draft will simply interfere with the cooking process.
Where to install the hood socket?
The height of the outlet for the hood is usually 2-2.5 meters. It is installed above kitchen cabinets (10-30 cm from the top). In this case, it is important to consider how the air duct will pass, it should not block the outlet. That is, the rosette must be offset 20 cm to the left or right of the center of the hood.
Installing the hood above the stove
Some useful for installing a hood above the stove
Modern kitchen equipped interestingly enough. What kind of devices you will not find there. There are kettles, toasters, harvesters. And also multicooker, double boiler, conventional and built-in gas stoves. But this whole technique has a trait that can be called negative. In the process of cooking, vapors and various odors are formed that you do not want to feel throughout the kitchen and in the apartment.
To solve this problem, a hood was invented, which is installed above the stove. At the same time, it has turned from an ordinary household appliance to eliminate odors and fumes into an interesting element of the interior. But in order to maintain functionality, the installation of the hood over the gas stove must be carried out according to certain standards.
What hoods are there?
Before delving into the installation process, you should decide on the type of hood that is suitable in a particular case.
The most common and uncomplicated option is hinged. She is practical and copes with her immediate tasks. But such a hood will not become a decoration of the kitchen, it is rather an economy option with a small radius of action.
Recessed ones are also very practical and are good at removing unwanted odors and vapors. Plus, such a device covers a large area.
Less common and in demand already in large kitchens, where the master of design had a hand in it, table, fireplace and island hoods. The fireplace room covers a wide area - not only the gas stove, but also part of the work surface. It usually looks like a dome. Island - to a greater extent performs the function of air circulation and is mounted in the center of the kitchen.
But choosing the type and model of such an electrical appliance is not all. Responsibly, you need to approach the issue of selecting an air duct.
Choosing an air duct for the hood
There are several types of air ducts:
- corrugated pipe
- rigid metal construction
- smooth PVC pipe.
The corrugated pipe is flexible, which is considered to be its advantage. This is the cheapest option, but a little noisy. It also requires additional maintenance during operation. When installing the corrugation, it is allowed to use only special fasteners that require replacement after a while.
The metal structure is the most expensive. The middle position is PVC pipe... Such a duct does not make noise, it is easier to wash it. But you can install it only if the ventilation hole is located strictly above the hood. Otherwise, the ventilation system will be unusable.
Work on installing the hood over the gas stove
Preparing for installation
So, we have decided on the type of hood and duct, but it's too early to proceed to installation. Before installing the hood over the gas stove, you will need to study several points, taking into account which the device will work with 100% efficiency.
It is necessary to think in advance how the future hood will be supplied with power. Simply put, this electrical appliance requires a separate socket, which must be grounded in order to prevent electric shocks. To install it, you need to have the air duct already installed.
Installation must be carried out in accordance with the rules and standards established for reliable and safe operation. Even at the stage of choosing this electrical appliance, one must take into account that it cannot be wider than the hob. Installation must be carried out strictly symmetrically to the working surface of the gas stove, otherwise not all vapors and odors will enter the ventilation. The installation height of the hood above the gas stove should not be less than 80 cm.
Installation process
In order not to lose the functionality of the hood, it is necessary to ensure the correct mode of air extraction. To draw out odors and vapors well, it is necessary to minimize the number of elbows in the pipe leading to the vent.
The appliance itself is attached to the wall. For modern systems usually a couple of screws are sufficient. But first, a solid node is being built. For this, holes are marked on the wall in compliance with the rules of symmetry. Then, using a drill, drill holes for dowels and install the necessary supports. After the performed manipulations, the hood is fixed on the wall.
It is very important that the hood is installed in a strictly horizontal plane. Therefore, it is better not to do anything "by eye". You should use a tool such as a level. With it, the master will achieve maximum balance in the process of suspension and adjustment. To avoid mistakes, especially pedantic buyers sometimes make layouts from cardboard. After fixing the hood to the wall, you can check the operating condition of the equipment.
A few tips for installing and operating a hood over a gas stove
In order for the hood to work efficiently and there are no foreign smells or excessive evaporation in the kitchen space, there are some rules. If a corrugated pipe is chosen for the duct, you should not bend it at an angle greater than 90 degrees.
Also, do not narrow the outlet in the pipe. Doing so will increase the noise level. To prevent the polluted smell from returning to the room, it is necessary to provide the air duct with a non-return valve. All this is taken into account during the installation process.
And in order for the hood to serve long enough, not so much is needed: to clean and change the filters. That being said, you should be careful when choosing cleaning products. Overly harsh chemicals can significantly shorten the life of this appliance.
The hood can also fail due to the fact that the hostess was inattentive. I disdained the indicators of contamination of individual elements of this electrical appliance. For example, I didn't change filters on time. They need to be washed regularly and often enough. This will help avoid short circuits and other troubles. After all, if a large accumulation of fat occurs in the system, this can lead to fire at the most unexpected moment.
The hood installed above the stove in accordance with all the rules is a beautiful and functional element of the modern interior of any kitchen.

The current kitchen area of \u200b\u200bthe house is immersed in household items, a civilized person will die, having lost a refrigerator, gas, electric stove, microwave oven, other obligatory attributes of life. The article is devoted to the problems of installation of the necessary "hood" over the stove, since at the time of cooking, the pan emits steam, the combustion gas - smoke. You must be able to install a purchase. Today, companies produce a variety of systems of a similar nature, the material will highlight the main points, explain how the hood is installed over the gas stove.
It must be understood that the absence of the specified kitchen unit leads to an increased content of steam, smoke, and gradual destruction of the facing material. If the walls of the room have expensive wallpaper, lining, over time, such "charms" can very quickly exfoliate, damaging the facade. For a person who wants to make the cooking procedure convenient, we recommend purchasing a reliable unit that eliminates smoke and steam.
Hood classification
A large number of different types of installations have been posted today. People think that the process of assembling the required product is extremely easy. Let us assure you that it is fundamentally a wrong judgment. A well-done work, on which the surrounding state of the kitchen depends (resisting the release of unwanted products to cooking), requires a lot of time, the installation is performed by the master.
If you want to get a unit dreaming at night in the kitchen, first figure out what types of goods are put up for sale by manufacturers. Today, the hood over the gas stove is:
- fireplace;
- built-in;
- filtering;
- telescopic.
You know, they produce island, angular, vario-hoods. The release of the declared models is made exclusively in the styles called "Modern", "Hi-Tech", "Country". Units with pretensions are equipped in most with filter elements that resist unpleasant vapors.
Let's touch on the topic of types of filters. The industrial industry of the stated area of \u200b\u200bthe technology market continues to evolve on a daily basis, the current offerings "above the plate" have:
- Metal filters. The declared types of structures can be called differently: grease traps. It must be installed if the kitchen is equipped with a ventilation shaft, since otherwise the installation is impracticable.
- Charcoal filters. When the consumer became the owner of a high-quality modern hood to remove unpleasant fumes in the kitchen. The charcoal filters “work” when the hood is recirculating air.
Operation precautions
Today, the height of the gas stove hood is not too low, not high. It is not rational to recommend the installation characteristics, the final options are determined by the design features. A small kitchen can "become the owner" of a relatively large plate, the hood will be installed at low ceilings. The VashTechnik portal advises not to make the distance of the hood above the gas stove less than 65 centimeters high. Read more in the instructions for the device.
Neglecting indicators of contamination of individual components of the hood will lead to an early failure of the assistant. The grease accumulated in the filters is rare but will ignite. You will have to flush the filters frequently to avoid the problem.
We install the unit in the kitchen: preparatory measures
We smoothly approached the direct consideration of the installation problem. We figured out which model to buy for the kitchen, managed to get it, read the instructions.
Note that a gas stove hood is an irreplaceable product.
- The portal is not narrower than the hob.
- Second, the installation is performed symmetrically to the slab table. Move the frame a couple of centimeters, smoke removal work will be done as an option.
- The third is the height of the hood installation above the stove. The minimum threshold for installing a unit without instructions is 65 centimeters.
Take care to equip the structure with a power supply cord. Make sockets for connecting the hood. Take the trouble to equip grounding, otherwise there is a chance to get an electric shock.
Buy an air duct, think over the route of the route. Work out a wall mounting scheme, take out auxiliary parts (bars, brackets). We consider PVC to be the optimal material for laying the air duct. Large radius channel, smooth surface, air comes out easily. The segments are connected with adapters, the slots are sealed with a sealant. It is necessary to install the hood above the gas stove in accordance with the rules and standards for safe work.
We put the apparatus: final actions
Direct installation is carried out by installing the hood. It is done through a well-fixed knot. Some consumers are accustomed to fixing the unit on a wall in a fume cupboard. It is customary to mount modern structures with 2 screws. On the mounting installation, it is necessary to mark the symmetry, make holes with a drill, and install the necessary supports. After - fix the device on the wall (in the cabinet).
The portal recommends performing the necessary procedures if there is a level, a person will be able to achieve maximum quality. It is noteworthy that individual buyers sometimes make cardboard templates, excluding the error during the direct installation of the system.
After the described actions, the person receives a securely fixed device that removes unpleasant vapors. Read the recommendations carefully. You will be able to solve problems quickly.
conclusions
We are gradually coming to the end of the story, dedicated to the description of the general points of choice, installation of the necessary unit.
- Pay attention to trusted firms when buying. You can read numerous reviews on the pages of the Internet portals. Evaluate information critically.
- Throw away the rush while editing. It is better to finish the work later, making it of high quality.
- Avoid leaving a distance of less than 65 centimeters between the hob and the hood. The risk of excessive heating of the system is equal to a disproportionately high installation, which makes the operations done meaningless.
- Observe safety precautions when installing directly, ask loved ones to insure, work will be carried out with a drill. Carefully watch how the work is done, take basic precautions.
The installation height of the hood is prescribed by the instructions. The parameter determines the design of the device, the type of hob. The portal is located above the gas stoves, the efficiency of the burner is much lower than 50%. A significant part of the energy heats up grease, charcoal filters. The VashTechnik portal wishes the interested visitors a safe, high-quality work on the installation of the necessary unit over the kitchen stove.
When using kitchen stoves, it is necessary to clean the atmosphere of the room from harmful products released during combustion. Therefore, the presence of an exhaust device in the kitchen is really vital. But at what distance from the stove do you need to install a kitchen hood? The efficiency of the device functioning and ensuring the cleanliness of the air surrounding the cook depends on this parameter.
The distance between the bottom panel of the device and the hob depends entirely on two criteria - the option of placing the equipment and the type of stove.
The type of the hood itself, its components, as well as the size of the air duct does not determine the required installation height, except for situations with a low ceiling, when it is simply impossible to mount the hood above for structural reasons. The power rating of the equipment should always be taken into account, adding or subtracting 10 centimeters from the average design installation height. By the way, about the other rules for installing the hood -.
Horizontal hood
The height of the hood depends only on the type of stove, in which the plane that sucks steam is located horizontally. The patterns of placement of this type of equipment depend on many parameters, the main of which are the characteristics of the device, model, type of plate:
- Hang the device over the gas burners at a distance of 65-85 cm;
- Above the electric stove - 60-80 cm.
When mounting an inclined hood model, it is required to adhere to the following recommended heights:
- 55-65 cm when there is a gas burner below;
- 35-45 cm if food is cooked on an electric stove.
Naturally, no one forbids installing the hood where its operation will be most convenient. However, all the recommended values \u200b\u200bare not taken from the sky. When calculating them, you should always take into account several important criteria:
- Kitchen area;
- Its layout;
- Interior;
- Power of the installed hood;
- Housewife growth.
If necessary, the installation height of the equipment can be easily increased, but it must not be lowered below the minimum permitted distance. Such an installation will complicate the operation of the equipment - the hood will interfere with the housewife, who will soon get tired of banging her head against her.
Important! By placing the hood too low, you determine that it will always heat up. It is better not to allow this, otherwise the equipment will quickly break down.
Installation height above the electric stove
By itself, any kitchen hood is a design that allows you to forcibly suck in polluted air, clean it with high quality, taking away all kinds of fumes, incomplete combustion substances, smoke components, food odors and other suspended impurities formed above the stove when cooking products.
The design of the exhaust unit significantly determines the height of the equipment, the conditions for its installation. The following hoods are produced according to installation features:
- The suspension system is completely flat, the device is mounted under the wall cabinet of the kitchen, directly overhanging the stove;
- The device is built-in type, when the body is mounted inside a cabinet suspended above the stove;
- The most common wall-mounted option - mounting is performed on the wall adjacent to the slab;
- Corner-type equipment is convenient in a situation where it is convenient to place it in the corner of the kitchen, if there is a stove there;
- The island version of the device is used in spacious rooms where it is required to fix the hood in the center of the kitchen to the ceiling.
When installing a kitchen hood over an electric stove, it is required to be guided by the fact that it is undesirable to place it below 60 cm from the hob. Although this parameter is not critical, since there is no risk of blowing out the flame. therefore minimum distance it is quite possible to vary.
At what height should the hood be installed above the gas stove?
Many years of experience in the practical operation of various models of hoods has led to the fact that recommendations have appeared that determine the minimum permissible height of the equipment location above gas burners.
Different manufacturers in the instructions for the equipment oblige consumers to comply with certain installation conditions. For example:
- The hood of the Metida60W brand, manufactured by Shindo, has a capacity of 420 m 3 / h and should be installed at a distance of 75 cm from the burners. It is not recommended by the manufacturer to use the device if there is no cookware on the operating burners covering the open flame.
- Hood of the Bosch DWW09W650 brand has a declared capacity of 650 m 3 / h. It has a telescopic design for air intake, it is allowed to lower it to the stove, but not closer than 65 cm from the burner.
- The Russian installation of the brand Saturn M60 has a capacity of 245 m 3 / h. Manufacturers recommend mounting it higher than 75 cm from the burner.
In general, the distance between the cooking zones and the bottom of the unit is determined by the following requirements:
- Eliminate the likelihood of spontaneous combustion;
- Provide convenience for the housewife;
- Ensure complete intake of contaminated air.
However, in order to optimize the functioning of the equipment, it is necessary to clarify this value. It is imperative to ensure the convenience of the housewife, therefore, take into account her height. In some cases, the installation height of the hood should be increased by purchasing more powerful equipment.
Installing the socket
The height of the hood installation above the stove, determined in a practical way, affects the location of the socket into which the device will be connected. Most often, the outlet is installed directly above the hood body. Although a good option would be to fix the outlet a little higher (10-30 cm) from the line of wall-mounted kitchen cabinets.
Do not forget that it is necessary to displace the hole for the future outlet by 20 cm relative to the axis of symmetry of the device, since this is where the exhaust channel will be located.
Installing the hood needs to comply with some nuances that guarantee the effective functioning of the equipment:
- The air receiver must completely cover the working surface, since only in this case will it be able to completely capture the vapors from it.
- When purchasing and installing a hood, be sure to take into account the dimensions of the niche where it is supposed to be mounted.
- Ideal when the hood is slightly wider than the hob.
- The hood must certainly be equipped with good lighting and not make a lot of noise.
- The hoods are equipped at the factories with a short electrical cord, which is why it is advisable to install the outlet near the equipment.
- The air duct of the installation must certainly have a minimum of right angles - this affects the efficiency of the air intake.
DIY video installation of the hood
We are publishing a video showing how a craftsman independently fixes the acquired hood over the gas burners of the kitchen stove. A detailed commentary by the author of the video allows you to understand all the intricacies of the editing process and get a visual representation of the sequence in which this work is required.
The height of any hood and its competent installation ensure long-term operation of this equipment. Read the instructions carefully before attaching. It contains the dimensions of the equipment, describes the installation methods, options for connecting to the ventilation channel of a multi-storey building.
In contact with
A kitchen without a hood is not very pleasant - during cooking, smells spread throughout the apartment, are absorbed into the wallpaper, into the curtains and completely cease to seem fragrant. That is why the question of the expediency of the acquisition cannot be, it is obvious that one cannot do without it. But after the purchase, other important questions appear, one of which is - at what height should the hood be hung?
What is the optimal installation height for the hood?
To begin with, the height of the hood installation above the stove is always indicated in the description of a particular model. Of course, this is not a clear mark, but a certain range in which you can vary, starting, for example, from the design of the kitchen or from the growth of the hostess. However, if the instruction is lost or you do not trust it, there are standards that determine the distance from the hood to the stove. First of all, for proper installation, it is important to consider the type of hob:
- the height of the hood above the gas stove ranges from 75-85 cm;
- the installation height of the hood above the electric stove is 65-75 cm.
If we are talking about an inclined hood, then the height of the lower part:
- above the gas stove should be about 55-65 cm;
- above electric - 35-45 cm.
Also, the distance between the stove and the hood can be changed within these 10 cm, depending on the power of the device for purifying the air. For example, if a low-power kitchen hood is fixed at the maximum allowable distance, there is no guarantee that it will fully cope with its task.
Why is it important to stick to restrictions?
The recommended installation height of the hood is an indicator that cannot be neglected, because the quality of the equipment and safety depends on it. If you go beyond the upper limit of the indicated distance, the efficiency of the hood will significantly decrease, it will not capture all the steam. If we go beyond the lower limit, then it increases the likelihood of fire. In the case of a gas cooker, grease dust deposited on the hood filters can be ignited by an open fire. In the end, a low draft will simply interfere with the cooking process.
Where to install the hood socket?
The height of the outlet for the hood is usually 2-2.5 meters. It is installed above kitchen cabinets (10-30 cm from the top). In this case, it is important to consider how the air duct will pass, it should not block the outlet. That is, the rosette must be offset 20 cm to the left or right of the center of the hood.
