Minimum dimensions
WARNING
If overhead cabinets are provided, a range hood should also be provided that
projects horizontally a minimum of 5 in (12.7 cm) beyond the front of the cabinets.
This will dissipate any heat buildup in the overhead cabinets to prevent death,
personal injury, and/or fire hazard. The ventilating hood must be constructed of
sheet metal not less then 0.0122" thick. Install above the cooktop with a clearance
of not less than 1/4" between the hood and the underside of the combustible
material or metal cabinet. The hood must be at least as wide as the appliance
and centered over the appliance. Clearance between the cooking surface and the
ventilation hood surface must never be less than 24 inches.
Exception : Installation of a listed microwave oven or cooking appliance over the
cooktop shall conform to the installations packed with that appliance.
