combustible vertical surfaces above
36” (91.4 cm), the maximum wall cabinet
depth must be 13” (33.0 cm) and wall
cabinets within this 6” (15.2 cm) side
clearance must be 18” (45.7 cm) above
the 36” (91.4 cm) high countertop.

INTERIOR CABINET CLEARANCES
INDUCTION COOKTOPS
IMPORTANT:
The electronic components
for the induction elements in the cooktop
need air circulation. To ensure long life of
electronic components, it is required that
1-1/2 (3.8 cm) or more open space remains
between the bottom of the cooktop and any
shelf underneath. The maximum length of
the shelf underneath is 18” (45.7 cm). It is
required that the exit air ports at the front are
not blocked.
WOOD/COMPOSITE OVERLAY
The bottom of a standard hood should be
30” (76.2 cm) min. to 36” (91.4 cm) max.
above the countertop. This would typically
result in the bottom of the hood being
66” (167.6 cm) to 72” (182.9 cm) above the
fl oor. Refer to the rangehood installation
instructions for additional information. These
dimensions provide for safe and effi cient
