MINIMUM CLEARANCES TO
ADJACENT WALLS & CABINETS
If a 30” clearance between the cooktop and
overhead combustible materials or metal cabinet
cannot be maintained, then 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.
