Avoid placing cabinets above the cooktop unit,

if possible, in order to reduce the hazards caused by reaching over heated surface units.

If the cabinetry is used above the cooktop, allow a minimum 30″ clearance between the cooking surface and the bottom of the unprotected cabinet.

If the clearance between the cooktop and the cabinetry is less than 30″, the cabinet bottom must be protected with a flame retardant millboard at least 1/4″ thick, or gypsum board at least 3/16″ thick, covered with 28 gauge sheet steel or 0.020″ thick copper. Clearance between the cooktop and the protected cabinetry must NEVER BE LESS THAN 24″. Cabinetry above a cooktop must not be more than 13″ in depth.

EXCEPTION: Installation of a listed microwave oven or cooking appliance over the cooktop shall conform to the installation instructions packed with that appliance.

Working areas adjacent to the cooktop should have an 18″ minimum clearance between the countertop and the bottom of the cabinet.

If the clearance is less than 18″, the adjacent cabinets should be at least 8″ from the side of the cooktop.

GAS AND ELECTRICAL LOCATION

The cooktop is equipped with a 4′ power cord, which should reach any desired location on the cabinet walls. However, to avoid tangling the cord in items stored in the cabinet, it is advisable to position the wall receptacle and the gas supply pipe entering the cabinet in the shaded areas marked below.
