Install Ventilation - Bosch HES232U Installation Instructions Manual

STEPS 1 AND 2: INSTALL VENTILATION AND PREPARE CABINETS
1

INSTALL VENTILATION

It is strongly recommended to install a hood above this range. For
most kitchens with a wall mounted hood, a certified hood rating
of not less than 350 CFM is recommended. Bosch hoods rated at
350 CFM or more when operated on High meet the above
requirement and are recommended for this purpose. The range
hood must be installed according to instructions furnished with
the hood.

PREPARE CABINETS
This unit is designed for installation in a countertop near adjacent
walls and projecting surfaces constructed of combustible materials.
There must be a minimum clearance of 30 inches between the top
of the cooking surface and the bottom of an unprotected wood or
metal cabinet; or 24 inches when bottom of wood or metal cabinet
is protected by not less than 1/4" of flame retardant material
covered with not less than No. 28 MSG sheet metal, 0.015 inch
stainless steel' or 0.024 inch aluminum or copper. (See Figure I).
The minimum horizontal distance(s) from the side and back edge
of the unit to adjacent vertical combustible walls are as follows:
Zero clearance is permitted on rear, right and left walls.
For the cabinets over the cooking surface and the adjacent cabinets,
the maximum cabinet depth from back wall is 13 inches.
Instructions were determined using Standard American base
cabinets measuring 36" high x 24" deep (see Figures 2 & 3).
If nonstandard cabinets are used, care should be taken to alter
dimensions accordingly.
NOTICE: Some cabinet finishes cannot survive the temperatures
allowed by U.L., particularly self-cleaning ovens; the cabinets may
discolor or stain. This is most noticeable with laminated cabinets.
