Installation requirements
Minimum dimensions
WARNING
If overhead cabinets are provided, a range
hood should also be provided that projects
horizontally a minimum of 5 in (12.7 cm)
beyond the front of the cabinets. This will
dissipate any heat buildup in the overhead
cabinets to prevent death, personal injury,
and/or fire hazard. The ventilating hood
must be constructed of sheet metal not
less then 0.0122" thick. Install above the
cooktop with a clearance of not less than
1/4" between the hood and the underside of
the combustible material or metal cabinet.
The hood must be at least as wide as the
appliance and centered over the appliance.
Clearance between the cooking surface and
the ventilation hood surface must never be
less than 24 inches.
