withstand heat generated by the range up to 200°E
oAvoid placing cabinets above the range. To reduce
the hazard caused by reaching over the open flames
of operating burners, instalt a ventilation hood over

the front of the cabinets.

o if cabinets are placed above the range, allow a mini-
mum clearance of 30" between the cooking surface
and the bottom of unprotected cabinets..

overhead combustible material or metal cabinets
cannot be maintained, protect the underside of the
cabinets above the cooking top with not less than
1/4" insulating millboard covered with sheet metal
not less than Q0122" thick_
o Clearance between the cooking surface and protect-
ed cabinets MUST NEVER BE LESS THAN 24
INCHES. The vertical distance from the plane of
the cooking surface to the bottom of adjacent over-
