Minimum dimensions

WARNING

If overhead cabinets are provided, a range hood should also be provided that

projects horizontally a minimum of 5 in (12.7 cm) beyond the front of the cabinets.

This will dissipate any heat buildup in the overhead cabinets to prevent death,

personal injury, and/or re hazard. The ventilating hood must be constructed of

sheet metal not less than 0.0122” thick. Install above the cooktop with a clearance

of not less than 1/4” between the hood and the underside of the combustible

material or metal cabinet. The hood must be at least as wide as the appliance

and centered over the appliance. Clearance between the cooking surface and the

ventilation hood surface must never be less than 24 inches.

Exception 1 : Installation of a listed microwave oven or cooking appliance over the

cooktop shall conform to the installations packed with that appliance.

• 30-in (76.2-cm) minimum clearance between the top of the cooking surface and

the bottom of an unprotected wood or metal cabinet; or If no 30-in (76.2- cm)

minimum clearance, 24-in (61-cm) minimum when the bottom of the wood or

metal cabinet is protected by not less than 0.25-in (0.64-cm) ame-retardant

millboard covered with not less than no. 28 MSG sheet steel, 0.015-in (0.038-cm)

stainless steel, 0.024-in (0.061-cm) aluminum, or 0.020-in (0.051-cm) copper.

• 18-in (45.7-cm) minimum between the countertop and the adjacent cabinet

bottom.

Exception 2 : For island installation, maintain 2-1/2” minimum from cutout to back

edge of countertop and 4” minimum from cutout to side edges of countertop.

IMPORTANT:

To eliminate the risk of burns or re caused by reaching over heated surface

units, avoid having cabinet storage space located above the surface units. If you

have cabinet storage space over the heating elements, you can reduce the risk by

installing a range hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5 inches beyond

the bottom of the cabinets.
