PREPARING THE OPENING

Location of Range
• The distance from the floor to the top of the counter must be at least 35 7/8". The maximum counter height
is 38".
• Do not put the range near an outside door or where a draft may affect use.
• Cabinet space directly over the range should not be used. You could be seriously injured when reaching over
the range for items stored in such cabinets. This hazard can be reduced by installing a range hood that
projects a minimum of 5" beyond the bottom of the cabinets. Cabinets installed above the range may be no
deeper than 13".

could catch fire, from the cooktop upward, to a height of at least 18".
• You must keep a vertical distance of at least 30" between the cooktop and any overhead cabinets for an area
equal to the width and depth of the range (30" x 28").
