BACKSPLASH ACCESSORIES
All models require 12” minimum clearance to a
vertical combustible surface at the rear. If clearance
is less than 12”, the entire surface of the back wall
above the countertop and the full width of the
rangetop must be protected by a backsplash. The
backsplash must be constructed of non-combustible
material, such as metal, ceramic tile, brick, marble
or other stone.
Two Backsplash Accessories Available:
• The 12” high stainless steel backsplash accessory
is available. Use this backsplash in combination
with a custom, non-combustible backsplash built
beyond the 12” height. The combined height of the
backsplash accessory and the custom backsplash
must reach the bottom of a hood, or when there is
no hood, to 48” above the cooking surface.
• An adjustable 30” to 36” high backsplash with shelf
is also available. This backsplash fills in the space
between the top of the rangetop and the bottom
of the hood. The shelf is positioned so that heat
lamps from the bottom of a professional hood are
directed towards the shelf.
