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.
