IMPORTANT
To eliminate the risk of burns or fire caused by reaching over heated surface
units, cabinet storage space located above the surface units 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.
