muska1119 1 Report post Posted April 26, 2012 I am not sure if all manufacturers have fitting instructions. There is no proper standard guide though 650 to 750mm is recommended. A hood with smaller extraction capacity is effective - the closer the better. However, just make sure there is space (and above your head) and you can see what you are cooking.Thanks reiki, just went to measure it's abt 700mm, hope won't bang my head when I cook Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ayazumi 0 Report post Posted April 27, 2012 Aya, totally agree.. This time is really cheated!! But 5 doors .. Eye sore if cannot match properly ..Ask your ID if can paint the door frame to black or white. I think black frame suits better with the door color. If not doing free for you, then you DIY loh. You need time and patience to do it. My hubby DIY paint, he even volunteer help to touch up the doors and door frames Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
