Additional clearances
Installations without a hood require 48" minimum to combustibles above the
rangetop. A custom hood installation with exposed horizontal combustible
surfaces must have an “ auto-on” feature. See hood installation instructions for
specific hood clearances.
The surface of the entire back wall above the countertop and below the hood
must be covered with a non-combustible material such as metal, ceramic tile,
brick or stone.
Advance planning for 48" Professional gas rangetops
Product dimensions and clearances
A 54"- or 48"-wide Professional vent hood with a minimum
1200 CFM is recommended for installation over this rangetop.
Backsplash accessories
The rangetop requires a 12" minimum clearance to a
vertical combustible surface at the rear. A backsplash
is required for installations with less than 12"
clearance. The following backsplash accessories are
available, or a custom, non-combustible backsplash
can be used.
