INSTALLING CABINETS
OVER YOUR COOKTOP
Avoid placing cabinets above the cooktop unit,
if possible, in order to reduce the hazards caused
by reaching over heated surface units.
If the cabinets are installed above the cooktop,
allow a minimum 30″ (76.2 cm) clearance between
the cooking surface and the bottom of the cabinet.
A non-combustible material must be installed on
the under side of the cabinet. Use a flame retardant
millboard at least 1/4″ (6.3 mm) thick, or gypsum
board at least 3/16″ (4.7 mm) thick, covered with
28 gauge sheet steel or 0.020″ (.5 mm) thick copper.
The maximum depth of cabinets above the cooktop
is 13″ (33 cm).
EXCEPTION: Installation of a listed microwave
oven or cooking appliance over the cooktop shall
conform to the installation instructions packed
with that appliance.
Working areas adjacent to the cooktop should
have an 18″ (45.7 cm) minimum clearance between
the countertop and the bottom of the cabinet. If
the clearance is less than 18″ (45.7 cm), the adjacent
cabinets should be at least 8″ (20.3 cm) from the side
of the cooktop.
