Avoid placing cabinets above the cooktop unit, if possible,
in order to reduce the hazards caused by reaching over
heated surface units. If cabinets are placed over the
cooktop, the risks can be reduced by installing a range
hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5 inches
beyond the bottom of the cabinets.

30" clearance between the cooking surface and the bottom
of any unprotected cabinet.
