"Make sure the wall coverings around the range
can withstand heat generated by the range up to 200°E (93°C.).
•Avoid placing cabinets above the range. To reduce the hazard caused by reaching over the open flames

and overhead combustible material or metal cabinets
cannot be maintained, protect the underside of the cabinets above the cooking top with not less than 1/4" (6 rnm) insulating millboard covered with sheet metal not less than 0.0122" (.31 ram) thick.
"Clearance between the cooking surface and protected cabinets MUST NEVER BE LESS THAN 24"
(61 cm)o The vertical distance from the plane of the cooking surface to the bottom of adjacent overhead cabinets extending closer than I" (2°5 cm) to the plane oEthe range sides must not be less than 18"
