Dimensions and Clearances
Provide adequate clearances between the
range and adjacent combustible surfaces. These
dimensions must be met for safe use of your
range. The location of the electrical outlet and
pipe opening (see Gas Pipe and Electric Outlet
Locations) may be adjusted to meet specic
requirements.
Positioning the Range
The diagrams below show the minimum
recommended distance from the range to nearby
surfaces.

The cooktop surround should be level with, or
above, any adjacent work surface. Above cooktop
level a gap of 3” should be left between each side of
the range and any adjacent vertical surface.
For non-combustible surfaces (such as unpainted
metal or ceramic tiles) this can be reduced to 1”.
A minimum space of 30” is required between the
top of the cooktop and a horizontal combustible
surface.
The maximum depth for cabinets installed above
cooktops is 13’’.
Any range hood should be installed in accordance
with the hood manufacturer’s instructions.
For safety reasons curtains must not be tted
immediately behind the range.
We recommend a gap of 35-13/16’’ (for Canada
Min 36-7/16” (92.5cm)) between units to allow for
moving the range.
If a ush t is required (USA only), t the range up
to the unit at one side then t the unit the other
side.
A clearance of 5” (13cm) is required if the range is
near a corner of the kitchen to allow the oven doors
to open.
Location Guidelines
Do not locate the range where it may be subject
to strong drafts. Any openings in the oor or wall
behind the range should be sealed. Make sure the
openings around the base of the range that supply
