What is the minimum height (between cooktop and hood) that this hood can be install at
A. Most common installations require a range of 18" - 24" between the bottom of the hood and the top of the cook top. This will provide the best capture area for cooking impurities. For high capacity ventilators, the distance from the cooking surface to the bottom of the hood should be 24" - 30"

Is the scones rating for this unit taken at the highest speed? What is the scone rating at 300 CFM? I'm comparing this unit to another with 300 CFM and 7.4 scones.
A. Uses 11 sones on high, but the manufacturer has never recorded the scone rating on medium. Its probably right around 7. Also, max CFM on this hood is 500.

Can it vent horizontally?
A. The Air King SEV30SS has to vent vertically from the unit. From there, you'd need to use a 90 degree elbow to vent it horizontally.
