INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
(continued)
STEP 1
INSTALLING CABINETS OVER YOUR
COOKTOP
Avoid placing cabinets above the cooktop unit,
if possible, in order to reduce the hazards
caused by reaching over heated surface units.
If the cabinets are installed above the cooktop,
allow a minimum 30" (76.2 cm) clearance
between the cooking surface and the bottom
of the cabinet.
A non-combustible material must be installed
on the under side of the cabinet. Use a flame
retardant millboard at least 1/4" (6.3 mm) thick,
or gypsum board at least 3/16" (4.7 mm) thick,
covered with 28 gauge sheet steel or 0.020"
(.5 mm) thick copper. The maximum depth of
cabinets above the cooktop is 13 inches (33 cm).
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" (45.7 cm) minimum clearance
between the countertop and the bottom of the
cabinet. If the clearance is less than 18"
(45.7 cm), the adjacent cabinets should be at
least 2" (5.08 cm) from the side of the cooktop.
