the wall cabinets in a domestic home are protected with reproof materials in accordan-
ce with American National Standards - National Fuel Gas Code. To eliminate the risk of
burns or re by reaching over heated surface units, cabinet storage space located above
the surface units should be avoided. If cabinet storage is to be provided, the risk can
be reduced by installing a range hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5 in (13
cm) beyond the edge of the cabinets. Minimum distance between the cooktop and the
rear wall is 1” ¾. Minimum distance between the front edge of the counter and the
cooktop’s front edge is 2”.
