• To eliminate the risk of burns due to reaching over
heated surface elements, cabinet storage located
above the surface units should be avoided. If
cabinet storage space is to be provided, the risk
can be reduced by installing a range hood that
projects horizontally a minimum of 5" beyond the
bottom of the cabinets. Cabinet installation above
a cooktop may be no deeper than 13".
• Make sure the wall coverings around the cooktop
can withstand heat generated by the cooktop up to
200°F.
• If a 30" clearance between cooking surface and
overhead combustible material or metal cabinets
cannot be maintained, protect the underside of the
cabinets above the cooktop with not less than
