Safety distance when installing the appliance near a wall with trim or a back
splash
A minimum distance of 2" (50 mm) between the trim or back splash and the
countertop cut-out if required.
This distance is only necessary if these items are made of combustible materials
e.g. wood. If the trim or back splash is made of a non-combustible material, the
required safety distance can be reduced by the thickness of the wall covering
material.
