MINIMUM DIMENSIONS BETWEEN COOKTOP,
WALLS AND ABOVE THE COOKTOP:
A.

Make sure the wall covering, countertop, flooring and
cabinets around the range can withstand the heat (up
to 200°F) generated by the range. 0” to cabinets below
cooktop and at the range back.

B.

Allow 30” minimum clearance between surface units
and bottom of unprotected wood or metal cabinet, or
allow a 24” minimum when bottom of wood or metal
cabinet is protected by no less than 1/4” thick flame
retardant millboard covered with not less than No. 28
MSG sheet metal, (.015”), .015” thick stainless steel,
.024” aluminum or .020” copper.

C.

This appliance has been approved for 0” spacing to
adjacent surfaces above the cooktop. However, a 6” minimum spacing to surfaces less than 15”
above the cooktop and adjacent cabinet is recommended to reduce exposure to steam, grease
splatter and heat.

To reduce the risk of burns or fire when reaching over hot surface elements, cabinet storage space
above the cooktop should be avoided. If cabinet storage space is to be provided above the cooktop,
the risk can be reduced by installing a range hood that projects at least 5” beyond the front of the
cabinets. Cabinets installed above the cooktop must be no deeper than 16”.
