Advance Preparation
•
For proper operation of a gas appliance, the air necessary for the combustion of the gas must be
able to flow into the room naturally. The air must flow into the room directly through openings in the
outside walls. These openings must have an unobstructed cross-section not less than 2m
3
/hfor each
kw of power (see total power in kw on the appliance).
• This opening must be constructed so that it will not be obstructed from inside or outside, or
constructed close to the floor. The opening is recommended to be on the side opposite to that on
which the flue gases are discharged.
• Avoid placing cabinetry directly above
cooktop when possible. If cabinetry is used
above cooking surface, use cabinets no more
than 13″ deep (see Figure 6).
• Working areas adjacent to the cooktop
should have 18″ minimum clearance between
countertop and cabinet bottom.
Make sure the wall coverings, countertop and
cabinets around the cooktop can withstand
heat (up to 200º F) generated by the cooktop.
• Maintain 30″ minimum clearance between
cooktop surface and cabinets installed above
the cooktop.
•
If range hood is installed above cooktop,
maintain a 30” minimum clearance between
cooktop and bottom of range hood. The range
hood must be connected directly to flues or to
the outside.
