Required Clearance
These instructions were determined using standard
American cabinets. Standard base cabinets measure 36"
(914 mm) high x 25" (635 mm) deep. Cabinets over the
cooking surface and cabinets adjacent to those over the
cooking surface measure 13" (330 mm) deep from
backwall. If nonstandard cabinets are used, care should be
taken to alter dimensions accordingly.
9 WARNING
To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over
heated surface units, cabinet storage space located
above the surface units should be avoided. If
cabinet storage is to be provided, the risk can be
reduced by installing a hood that projects
horizontally a minimum of 5" (127 mm) beyond the
bottom of the cabinet.
From cooktop to materials above:
•
Minimum clearance of 36" (914 mm) for gas SIR, 30"
(762 mm) for Dual Fuel SIR, is required to an overhead
combustible surface.
•
Bosch recommends the minimum clearances shown in
the installation diagrams contained in this manual.
Clearances from non-combustible materials are not
part of ANSI Z21.1 scope and are not certified by CSA.
Clearances less than shown in the installation
diagrams must be approved by local codes and/or by
the local authority having jurisdiction.
From the cooking surface to side materials:
No clearance is required from unit walls to adjacent vertical
combustible walls on rear, right, or left.

Note: Some cabinet finishes cannot survive the
temperatures allowed by safety standards, particularly self-
cleaning ovens; the cabinets may discolor or stain. This is
most noticeable with laminate cabinets.
Flame retardant materials bear the mark:

CHARACTERISTICS, followed by the flame spread and
smoke ratings. These designations are shown as "FHC
(Flame Spread/Smoke Developed)". Materials with "O"
flame spread ratings are flame-retardant. Local codes may
allow other flame spread ratings. It is the responsibility of
the installer to ensure installation is in accordance with
these ratings.
