Before installing your range on linoleum or any othersynthetic floor covering, make sure the floor coveringcan withstand 180°F without shrinking, warping ordiscoloring. Do not install the range over carpetingunless a sheet of 1/4″ thick plywood or similarinsulator is placed between the range and carpeting. Make sure the wall coverings around the range canwithstand heat generated by the range up to 200°F. Avoid placing cabinets above the range. To reduce thehazard caused by reaching over the open flames ofoperating burners, install a ventilation hood over therange that projects forward at least 5″ beyond the frontof the cabinets. The ventilating hood must be constructed of sheetmetal not less than 0.0122″ thick. Install above thecooktop with a clearance of not less than 1/4″ betweenthe hood and the underside of the combustiblematerial or metal cabinet.

If cabinets are placed above the range, allow aminimum clearance of 30″ between the cookingsurface and the bottom of unprotected cabinets. If a 30″ clearance between cooking surface andoverhead combustible material or metal cabinetscannot be maintained, protect the underside of thecabinets above the cooktop with not less than 1/4″insulating millboard covered with sheet metal not lessthan 0.0122″ thick. Clearance between the cookingsurface and protected cabinets MUST NEVER BELESS THAN 24 INCHES. The vertical distance from the plane of the cookingsurface to the bottom of adjacent overhead cabinetsextending closer than 1″ to the plane of the rangesides must not be less than 18″.
