What distance from the cooktop should the hood be mounted please?

The install manual gives a dimension for this. I ignored it and mounted mine at 27" above cooktop so my wife and I wouldn't bang our heads on it like we did with the old one. Just so you know the fan in this thing moves a lot of air, so even mounted higher like ours didn't diminish it's capability to remove fumes and smoke like it would have with many others. We really like this unit and get lots of compliments on it. Good luck.

Definitely buy a right zip and a left zip. The 'hood' would be the wrong way if you didn't!

This measures 30.25 inches . It fit right in my space. I replace an older Broan hood range vent.

approx 3 1/2 inches. I have mine right in front of my windshield, on the vent, which is metal on mine. Most put on the roof, or hood.

I would select the range vent hood size based on the space present in the cabinet over the range. So if the space available for mounting is made for 36" then yes you should use a 36" hood.

It can be mounted either way. Its just a tube bulb so however your hood is arranged will work. Mine personally was sitting on top of the screen cover.

Dear Bubby Bob, Bosch's installation manual does not mention any specific clearance below the cooktop. They recommend at least 2 inches around the sides and back of the unit and 2.24 to the front. Any cabinets above should be at least 30 inches above the surface. You may want to contact Bosch directly or you can call our sales department at1-888-768-1710 and they can call Bosch on your behalf to check on any recommendation.

i did purchase the same grill and found the fit and finish a little off. but very little. not enough to cause any concerns. my fit issue was more around the flushness around the curvature of the hood itself.

Please note that the vent to the outside must be located behind or above the chimney portion of the range hood, so there is not a lot of room for the vent to be off-center. Thank you for your inquiry!

That cooktop was installed in a rental unit we own. New tenants have lived there and no complaints from them via the stove. Someone else installed so I don't know about the alignment of the controls.

You have to buy a six-inch one from Home Depot. The pipe hole size on the range hood itself is seven. A bit of workaround needed.

I mounted mine right on the wall using the bracket that came with the heater. I believe 8 to 10 inches is the minimum distance from adjacent walls. I live at an elevation of 5,300' and have no problems. I never considered the distance from the ceiling since I have over 8 feet of clearance, but I believe the instructions addressed those issues.

Meagan, The downdraft on the GE rangetop has handled anything we needed it to. We do not have a hood and don't intend to get one. Pat

My 8'1" ceiling allowed me to extend mine only about 2". This left about 15" of chimney extension unused. If my calculations are correct, I believe you will need an additional 8" of chimney after fully extended. My measurements are with the vent hood mounted 25" above my stove surface. The chimney is 17" with a 17" extension supplied. I do not know if they sell extensions separate but my guess is they probably do and I would call the company if I were you, just to be sure! GoodLuck .... I LOVE MINE :)

Go to Home Deopt home page and look the cooktop number up. In the product overview it will have downloadable installation instruction with dimension on page 11. Hopes this helps.

Go a minimum of 18". I would put the largest pot you have on the cooktop and make sure you have adequate clearance to see in & stir

My knobs are far enough away from the burners for this not to be a problem. This sounds like a question for the manufacturer.
