• Avoid placing cabinets above the cooktop.
• If cabinets are placed above the cooktop, allow a minimum
clearance of 30” between the cooking surface and the bottom of
protected cabinets.
• 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” (33 cm).
• An air curtain or other overhead range hood , which operates by
blowing a downward airflow onto a range, shall not be used in
conjunction with a gas range unless the hood and range have
been designed, and tested in accordance with ANSI Z 21.1 and
listed by an independent testing laboratory for combination use.
• Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting
of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment
to prevent back drafting. Follow the heating equipment
manufacturer’s guideline and safety standards such as those
published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA),
and the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air
Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local code authorities.
When applicable, install any makeup (replacement) air system
in accordance with local building code requirements. Visit
