PREPARING TO INSTALL THE RANGE
IMPORTANT
Minimum dimensions
To eliminate the risk of burns or fire caused by reaching over heated surface units, cabinet
storage space located above the surface units should be avoided. If cabinet storage is to be pro-
vided, the risk can be reduced by installing a range hood that projects horizontally a minimum
of 5" beyond the bottom of the cabinets.
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.
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 mill-
board 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 stor-
age 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".
D: Allow 24"/30"/36" (depensing on your range
width) minimun clearance between right and
left cabinets.
