Installation Instructions

English 5
Cabinet Requirements
This unit is designed for installation near adjacent walls and
projecting surfaces constructed of combustible materials.
Prepare the countertop and cabinets.
Allow a minimum of 30" (76.2 cm) between cabinets
where range is to be installed. No side clearance is
required. Height is set by adjusting the range legs (see
later section, “Complete the installation” on
page 11).
Note: The slide-in range can also replace a
freestanding range. In this case, verify that the opening is
at least 30" (76.2 cm).
Install Ventilation
Bosch strongly recommends the installation of a ventilation
hood above this range. For most kitchens, a certified hood
rating of not less than 300 CFM is recommended. The
range hood must be installed according to instructions
furnished with the hood.
Required Clearance
These instructions were determined using standard
American cabinets. Standard base cabinets measure 36"
(91.4 cm) high x 25" (63.5 cm) deep. Cabinets over the
cooking surface and cabinets adjacent to those over the
cooking surface measure 13" (33 cm) deep from backwall.
If nonstandard cabinets are used, care should be taken to
alter dimensions accordingly.
From cooktop to materials above:
• There must be a minimum clearance of 30” (762 mm)
between the top of the cooking surface and the bottom
of an unprotected wood or metal cabinet.
• Bosch recommends the minimum clearances shown in
the installation diagrams contained in this manual.
Clearances from non-combustible materials are not
certified by CSA. Clearances less than shown in the
installation diagrams must be approved by local codes
and/or by the local authority having jurisdiction.
From the cooking surface to side materials:
No clearance is required from unit walls to adjacent vertical
combustible walls on rear, right or left.
9 WARNING
To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over
heated surface units, cabinet storage space located
above the surface units should be avoided. If
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 cabinet.
