Personally I think it depends how tall you are. Our fitter set the distance between 75 and 80cm but as I am very tall I was having to bend down to avoid hitting my head on the hood, which was ridiculous. Although it is now very high at 107cm I can now cook in comfort. I would suggest that you experiment with the ideal height for you and your family by roughly holding it in place prior to the final fit.0

Recently fitted a chimney style one. The instructions said a minimum of 750 if gas or 650 if electric.0
