What is the safe distance between the top of the stove and the bottom of the hood?

I'm not sure if there's an industry standard distance. I have heard of local building or fire code that dictate minimum & maximum distances. Best to check you local building or fire department for your area.
That said, I looked at the installation instructions for my favorite two models from Vent-A-Hood (XRH18 · Excalibur & AH12 · Model A). One specified a maximum of thirty inches, the other thirty three inches above the cook-top. I then checked a product spec sheet for an NXR brand Kitchen range that I recently downloaded. It specifies a thirty inches minimum & a maximum of thirty six inches above the cook-top.
