General Requirements
Clearances and Dimensions
• For over-the-range (OTR) over gas stove, follow the local gas code.
• For safe operation, provide adequate space between the range and combustible surfaces. Location of the
electrical outlet and gas piping may be adjusted to meet the dimensions and clearances in this manual.
•
The range may be installed flush to the rear wall. A non-combustible material must be installed on the rear
wall between the range and hood. It is not necessary to install non- combustible material directly behind
the range. Openings in the wall behind the range or in the floor below must be sealed.
• Canada only: A free-standing range shall be installed at least 4.7 in. (12 cm) from all adjacent surfaces.
The range complies with the maximum allowable wood-cabinet temperature of 194 °F (90 °C).
Ensure the adjacent wall covering, countertops, and cabinets can withstand such heat to avoid discoloration,
delamination, or melting.
Minimum Dimensions
Regarding overhead cabinets, a hood should be installed that projects at least 5" (12.7 cm) beyond the cabin-
etry face to dissipate heat in those cabinets. The hood must consist of sheet metal at least .0122" thick. Install
the hood with at least 1/4" clearance between it and the bottom of the combustible material or metal cabinet.
The hood must be at least as wide as the range and centered over it. Clearance between the cook surface and
hood bottom must be at least 24". (For above-range cooking appliances, follow that appliance's installation
criteria.)
• 30" (76.2 cm) minimum clearance between the cook surface and bottom of an unprotected wood/ metal
cabinet; or if no 30" (76.2 cm) min. clearance, 24" (61 cm) min. when the bottom of the wood/metal cabinet
is protected by at least .25" (.64 cm) flame-retardant millboard covered with at least No. 28 MSG sheet
steel, .015" (.038 cm) stainless steel, .024" (.061 cm) aluminum, or .02" (.051 cm) copper.
• 18 in. (45.7 cm) minimum between the countertop and adjacent cabinet bottom.
