mm reduction flange provided. In this case
the hood will be slightly noisier.

be purchased separately.

supporting surface for the cooking vessels on
the hob and the lowest part of the range hood
must be not less than 50cm from electric
cookers and 65cm from gas or mixed

hob specify a greater distance, this must be
adhered to.
