Safety distance from the wall covering
If a wall covering is installed, a minimum safety distance must be maintained
between the countertop cut-out and the covering, since high temperatures can
damage these materials.
If the covering is made of a combustible material (such as wood), the distance
between the countertop cut-out and the wall covering must be a minimum of
2" (50 mm).
For coverings made of non-combustible materials (such as metal, marble, granite
or ceramic tiles) the minimum safety distance
and the wall covering must be 2" (50 mm) minus the thickness of the covering.
For example: thickness of wall covering 9/16" (15 mm)
2" (50 mm) - 9/16" (15 mm) = minimum safety distance 1 3/8" (35 mm).
