40 - 42 inches. Less than 40 inches you could bang your head on it, if you're tall. More than 42 inches it'll be less effective. Range tops are usually set at 34 - 36 inches so overall height to the hood is 6' 2" to 6' 6". If you are taller than this the range top and hood both will probably need to be raised.

The distance should be between 24"-30" but this depend on the manufacture installation requirements some require between 30"-36"
The distance should be 30 inches between stove top and hood.
I had the same question. I researched it and it appears that the answer is a minimum of 24" above the stove or between 60" and 75" off the floor. This puts the hood at a comfortable height for the typical user. B.D.
what is the distance required between the stove top and the microwave/fan vent

No it is not. They are only used to pull out smoke or cooking odors and the light is handy.
Installing a kitchen hood in the home will keep your kitchen cleaner. Place the kitchen hood over the stove to trap the heat from the stove top as well as the oven. The heat will not get in the rest of the home as much as if there was not a hood. When you are cooking, the hood will also prevent grease from splattering all over the counters and ceiling. The hood can easily be removed if you don't want it anymore or if it needs to be cleaned.
Hood is usually measured in a range of 30 inch min to 36 inch max from the stove top. Hope that helps.
I've read on GE installation manuals (at GE.com) that the space should be a minimum of 30 inches from the cooktop surface to the bottom of the cabinet touching the top of the microwave.
Stove Top stuffing was created in 1972.
stove top heated the logical reason is that the stove top acts as a heatsink ie it helps prevent the whole cooker body getting too hot
look between the top of the grille and the hood and there is a lever that you push to the right.
