Things to know before you buy Range Hood ⚠️| Distance Matters


What should be considered when it comes to the distance between the stove and the range hood? Many people have a misconception when selecting a range hood. 🚫 "Is it better to have the stove closer to the range hood?"

Each range hood has different distance requirements. 📏
You need to measure the distance based on your stove type to choose a suitable range hood. ✅

1️⃣ 【Do different stove types affect the distance requirements?】
Generally, we categorize stoves into gas stoves and electric stoves.
Gas stoves have open flames and emit higher heat, hence requiring a relatively larger distance from the range hood.

Gas Stoves🔥: 28 inches - 36 inches
Electric Stoves⚡: 26 inches - 34 inches

⚠️ Please note that each range hood may have different distance requirements. Please refer to the specifications of each range hood.

2️⃣ 【What impact does the distance have on usage?】
Setting the range hood too low ➡️ can obstruct the line of sight and breathing while cooking due to the fumes
➡️ may also shorten the lifespan of the range hood
Setting the range hood too high ➡️ can affect the suction power and result in inefficient performance

Therefore, we recommend selecting the appropriate distance based on the requirements to ensure optimal performance. ✨
(1-2 inches is acceptable)

3️⃣ 【How to measure the distance accurately📏】
We suggest you:
1. Open the cabinet door
2. Measure from the bottom of the cabinet to the stove
⚠️ Please remember that the starting point of measurement is the bottom of the cabinet, not the range hood itself.
