of sheet
metal
not less than 0.0122"
(31
mm) thick. Install
above
the cooking
top with a clearance
of not less
than 1/4" (6 mm) between
the hood and the under-
side of the combustible
material
or metal
cabinet.
The hood must be at least as wide as the appliance
and centered
over the appliance.
Clearance
