General Requirements
Clearances and Dimensions
• For OTR over gas stove, follow the local gas code.
• For safe operation, provide adequate space between the range and combustible surfaces.
Location of the electrical outlet and gas piping may be adjusted to meet the dimensions and
clearances in this manual.
• The range may be installed flush to the rear wall. A non-combustible material must be
installed on the rear wall between the range and hood. It is not necessary to install non-
combustible material directly behind the range. Openings in the wall behind the range or in
the floor below must be sealed.
• Canada only: A free-standing range shall be installed at least 4.7 in. (12 cm) from all adjacent
surfaces.
CAUTION
The range complies with the maximum allowable wood-cabinet temperature of 194 °F (90 °C).
Ensure the adjacent wall covering, countertops, and cabinets can withstand such heat to avoid
discoloration, delamination, or melting.
