 The following MINIMUM clearance dimensions 
must be maintained.
If a 30” clearance between the cooking surface and 
overhead combustible materials or metal cabinets 
cannot be maintained, a minimum clearance of 24” 
is required and the underside of the cabinets above 
the cooktop must be protected with not less than 1/4” 
insulating millboard covered with sheet metal not less 
than 30 gage (0.0125”) thick. A ventilation hood may 
be installed above the cooktop. See the ventilation 
hood installation instructions for the appropriate 
dimensions and clearances.
