DIMENSIONS AND
CLEARANCES
Provide adequate clearances between the
range and adjacent combustible surfaces.
These dimensions must be met for safe use of
your range.
Installation of a listed microwave oven or
cooking appliance over the cooktop shall
conform to the installation instructions packed
with that appliance.
NOTE: Use a 4’ power cord to prevent
interference with the storage drawer. Power cords

»2’ to 6’ long may have to be dressed to allow for
proper drawer closing.
MINIMUM DIMENSIONS BETWEEN COOKTOP,
WALLS AND ABOVE THE COOKTOP:
A. Make sure the wall covering, countertop,
flooring and cabinets around the range can
withstand the heat (up to 200°F) generated by
the range.
B. Allow 30” minimum clearance between surface
units and bottom of unprotected wood or metal
cabinet, or allow a 24” minimum when bottom
of wood or metal cabinet is protected by no
less than 1/4” thick flame retardant millboard
covered with not less than No 28 MSG sheet
metal, (.015”), .015” thick stainless steel, .024”
aluminum or .020” copper.
C. This appliance has been approved for 0”
spacing to adjacent surfaces above the
cooktop. However, a 2” minimum spacing to
surfaces less than 15” above the cooktop and
adjacent cabinet is recommended to reduce
exposure to steam, grease splatter and heat.
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 projects at least 5” beyond the
front of the cabinets. Cabinets installed above the cooktop must be no deeper than 13”.
