Electric Ranges
DIMENSIONS AND CLEARANCES
Make sure the wall covering, countertop,
flooring and cabinets around the range can
withstand the heat (up to 200°F) generated by
the range.
Allow 30” minimum clearance between surface
units and bottom of unprotected wood or metal
cabinet, or allow a 24” minimum when bottom
of wood or metal cabinet is protected by no
less than 1/4” thick flame retardant millboard
covered with not less than No 28 MSG sheet
metal, (.015”), .015” thick stainless steel, .024”
aluminum or .020” copper.
Orient electrical receptacle so the length is
parallel to floor.
This appliance has been approved for 0”
spacing to adjacent surfaces above the
cooktop. However, a 6” minimum spacing to
surfaces less than 15” above the cooktop and
adjacent cabinet is recommended to reduce
exposure to steam, grease splatter and heat.
To reduce the risk of burns or fire when
reaching over hot surface elements, cabinet
storage space above the cooktop should be
avoided. If cabinet storage space is to be
provided above the cooktop, the risk can be
reduced by installing a range hood that projects
at least 5” beyond the front of the cabinets.
Cabinets installed above the cooktop must be
no deeper than 16”.
