Place range in a well lit area. Do not set range over holes
in the floor or other locations where it may be subject to
strong drafts. Any opening in the wall behind the range
and in the floor under the range should be sealed. Make
sure the flow of combustion or ventilation air is not
obstructed.

“A” = 30 inches minimum clearance between the top of
the cooking surface and the bottom of an unprotected
wood or metal cabinet, or “A” = 24 inches minimum
when bottom of wood or metal cabinet is protected by
not less than 1/4-inch thick flame-retardant millboard
covered with not less than No. 28 MSG sheet steel,

0.015-inch thick stainless steel, 0.024-inch thick
