Safety distance from the wall covering

If a wall covering is installed, a minimum safety distance must be maintained
between the countertop cut-out and the covering, since high temperatures can
damage these materials.

If the covering is made of a combustible material (such as wood), the distance
between the countertop cut-out and the wall covering must be a minimum of
2" (50 mm).

For coverings made of non-combustible materials (such as metal, marble, granite
or ceramic tiles) the minimum safety distance e between the countertop cut-out
and the wall covering must be 2" (50 mm) minus the thickness of the covering.
For example: thickness of wall covering 9/16" (15 mm)
2" (50 mm) - 9/16" (15 mm) = minimum safety distance 1 3/8" (35 mm).
