Allow 30" minimum clearance between
the surface units and the bottom of
unprotected wood or metal top cabinet,
and 15" minimum between the
countertop and adjacent cabinet bottom.
EXCEPTION: Installation of a listed
microwave oven or cooking appliance over
the cooktop shall conform to the installation
instructions packed with that appliance.
If cabinet storage is installed, reduce the
risk by installing a range hood that projects

Flooring under the range
Your range, like many other household items,
is heavy and can settle into soft floor coverings
such as cushioned vinyl or carpeting.
When moving the range on this type of
flooring, it should be installed on a 1/4"
thick sheet of plywood (or similar material)
as follows:
When the floor covering ends at the front
of the range, the area that the range will
rest on should be built up with plywood
to the same level or higher than the floor
covering. This will allow the range to be
moved for cleaning or servicing.
