(24" [61 cm] minimum clearance if bottom of wood or metal
cabinet is covered by not less than
millboard covered with not less than No. 28 MSG sheet steel,
0.015" [0.04 cm] stainless steel, or 0.024" [0.06 cm] aluminum
or 0.020" [0.05 cm] copper)
G. 2 " (5.9 cm) minimum distance to rear combustible surface
H. 3 " (8.1 cm) minimum distance to front countertop edge
I. Cutout width - 35 " (89.9 cm)
J. Cutout depth - 19 " (49.5 cm)
NOTE: After making the countertop cutout, some installations
may require notching down the base cabinet side walls to clear
the burner box. To avoid this modification, use a base cabinet
with sidewalls wider than the cutout.
If cabinet has a drawer, a 4" (10.2 cm) depth clearance from the
countertop to the top of the drawer (or other obstruction) in base
cabinet is required. The drawer depth may need to be shortened
to avoid interfering with the regulator.
