Bosch Electric Free-Standing Range Installation Instructions Manual page 5

Required Clearances:
These clearance instructions were determined using Standard American cabinets.
Standard base cabinets measure 36" (91.4 cm) high x 24" (60.9 cm) deep. Cabi-
nets over the cooking surface and cabinets adjacent to those over the cooking
surface measure 13 inches (33 cm) deep from backwall. If nonstandard cabinets
are used, care should be taken to alter dimensions accordingly.
NOTE: Some cabinet finishes cannot survive the temperatures allowed by U.L.for
appliances, particularly self-cleaning ovens; the cabinets may discolor or stain.
This is most noticeable with laminated cabinets.
From cooktop to materials above:
There must be a minimum clearance of 30 inches (76.2 cm) between the top of
the cooking surface and the bottom of an unprotected wood or metal cabinet.
4in (10.2 cm )
no clearance required (12 mm clearance from
range sidewall to cabinet required in Canada.)
24 inches (61 cm) is acceptable when the bottom of the wood or metal cabinet is
protected by
(a) not less than 1/4" (6.35 mm) of flame retardant material which must be
covered with
(b) not less than No. 28 MSG sheet metal, 0.015 inch (.381 mm) stainless
steel' or 0.024 inch (.601 mm) aluminum or copper.
From range walls to adjacent materials (see Figure 2 above):
No clearance is required from unit walls to adjacent vertical combustible walls on
rear, right or left. Clearance from range top to adjacent vertical walls must be at
least 4" (10.2 cm).
