WARNING

This will dissipate any heat buildup in the overhead cabinets to prevent risk of personal
injury, fire, or death. The ventilating hood must be constructed of sheet metal not

1/4" between the hood and bottom of the combustible material or metal cabinet. The
hood must be at least as wide as the appliance and centered over the appliance. Clearance
between the cooking surface and the ventilation hood surface must never be less than
24 inches.
Exception : Installation of a listed microwave oven or cooking appliance over the range
shall conform to that appliance's installation instructions.
