the top of the cooking surface and the
bottom of an unprotected wood or metal
cabinet or 24 inches minimum clearance
when the bottom of wood or metal cabinet
is protected by not less than 1/4 - inch
thick flame retardant millboard covered
with not less than No. 28 MSG sheet
steel, 0.015-inch-thick stainless steel,
0.024-inch-thick aluminum or 0.020-inch-thick copper.
