To eliminate the risk of burns or fi re by reaching over the
cooktop, cabinet storage space located above the cooktop should
be avoided. If cabinet storage is to be provided, the risk can be
reduced by installing a range hood that projects horizontally a
minimum of 5” beyond the bottom of the cabinets.
Figure 1 contains many appliance measurements for reference when
