The standard carcase height of 720mm is mainly intended for kitchen prepping. This active height corresponds – depending on plinth height – to the normal posture of average size people during kitchen prep activities.
Active Height for Cooking
The actual active height for cooking the top edge of an average size cooking pot on the hot plate.optimally, the carcase in mini height lies approx. 25cm below elbow height. This guarantees relaxed cooking, when shoulder and arm are relieved.
Sufficient headroom
Wall units with flaps or folding/lifting doors offer a great overview of contents and are freely accessible since no open doors are in the way. The new generation of cooker hoods also guarantees an optimum headroom, even for taller people, due to the slanted extraction surface of the hood.
