FOR YOUR SAFETY:
To reduce the risk of burns or fire when
reaching over hot surface elements, cabinet
storage space above the cooktop should be
avoided. If cabinet storage space is to be provided
above the cooktop, the risk can be reduced by
installing a range hood that sticks out at least
12.5 cm (5”) beyond the front of the cabinets.
Cabinets installed above a cooktop must be
no deeper than 32.5 cm (13”
”).
Make sure the cabinets and wall coverings
around the range can withstand the temperatures
(up to 93.3°C [200°F]) generated by the range.
