I'm trying to fit an extractor hood above a 5 burner gas hob. This is located in a former chimney and the distance above the hob looks like being 600 mm. Will this be OK or do I need to raise the hood somehow?

Aye, as above check with the manufacturer, but depends on what your hood's made of I guess. 60cm seems a bit low for a 5 burner gas hob, it could get very hot at the hood and possibly kill the motor.

Mine says it should be 70cm if its above gas, and 50-60cm if above electric I think.
