Minimum clearances from adjacent
combustible construction
• Above countertop (36” [91.4 cm])
• Sides—6” (15.2 cm)
• Rear—0” (0 cm)
• Within 6” side clearance; wall cabinets
no deeper than 13” (33.0 cm)
• Must be minimum 18” (45.7 cm) above
countertop
• Wall cabinets directly above cooktop
must be minimum 36” (91.4cm) above
the countertop.
1. The cooktop may be installed directly
to existing base cabinets.
2. The cooktop
cannot
be installed
directly adjacent to sidewalls, tall
cabinets, tall appliances, or other side
vertical surfaces above 36” (91.4 cm)
high. There must be a minimum of 6”
(15.2 cm) side clearance from the
cooktop to such combustible surfaces
above the 36”(91.4 cm) counter
height.
3. Within the 6” (15.2 cm) side clearance
to 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.
4. Wall cabinets above the cooktop must
be a minimum of 36” (91.4 cm) above
the countertop for a full width of the
cooktop. This minimum height
requirement does
not
apply if a hood
is installed over the cooking surface.
The bottom of the hood should be 30”
(76.2 cm) min. to 36” (91.4 cm) 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 floor. Refer to the hood installation
instructions for further information.
Warning
The use of cabinets for storage above
the appliance may result in a potential
burn hazard. If a cabinet storage is to be
provided the risk can be reduced by
installing a hood that projects
horizontally a minimum of 5” (12.7 cm)
beyond the bottom of the cabinets.
