Installation requirements
for your appliance.
3.1 Location requirements
The appliance is a free standing unit. If the appliance is to
be placed adjacent to cabinets, the clearances shown in
this section are required. The same clearances apply to
island installations, except for the overhead cabinets,
which must have a space wide enough to accept the
island hood.
CAUTION
To prevent possible damage to cabinets and cabinet
finishes:
Use only materials and finishes that will not discolor or
▶
divide into layers.
Materials should be able to withstand temperatures up
▶
to 194°F (90°C).
Heat and moisture resistant adhesive must be used if
▶
the product is to be installed in laminated cabinetry.
Check with the product manufacturer to ensure
▶
materials meet these requirements.
Specifications:
The gas and electrical supply should be within the
¡
zones shown in the image on clearance requirements.
→ "Gas and electric requirements", Page 12
Any opening in the wall behind the appliance and in the
¡
floor under the appliance shall be sealed.
The upper shaded area behind the appliance indicates
¡
an opportunity to discolor the back wall under certain
cooking conditions.
There must be a minimum of 5" (127 mm) side
¡
clearance from the appliance to combustible vertical
surfaces above the 36" (914 mm) counter height.
Within the 5" (127 mm) side clearance to combustible
¡
vertical surfaces above 36" (91.4 cm), the maximum
wall cabinet depth must be 13" (330 mm).
Wall cabinets within this 5" (127 mm) side clearance
¡
must be 18" (457 mm) above the 36" (914 mm) high
countertop.
The maximum depth of the cabinets hanging on either
¡
side of the hood is 13" (330 mm).
There is a 36" (914 mm) minimum clearance required
¡
between the top of the cooking surface and the bottom
of an unprotected cabinet. A 30" (762 mm) clearance
can be used when the bottom of the wood or metal
cabinet is protected by not less than ¼" (6 mm) of a
flame retardant material covered with not less than No.
28 MSG sheet steel, 0.015" (0.38 mm) thick stainless
steel, 0.024" (0.61 mm) aluminum, or 0.02" (0.51 mm)
thick copper.

¡
The appliance height is adjustable. The level of the
¡
range top must be at the same level or above the
counter top level.
To provide proper ventilation of the range DO NOT
¡
remove the range feet.
Rear clearance requirements
To avoid staining on the back wall, high temperature, non-
porous construction materials suitable for use in a cooking
environment are recommended.
IMPORTANT: There is a possibility to discolor the back
wall under certain cooking conditions.
