cabinet requirements
This unit is designed for installation near adjacent
walls and projecting surfaces constructed of com-
bustible materials. Prepare the countertop and
cabinets.
Allow a minimum of 30" (76.2 cm) between cabinets
where range is to be installed.
note: The slide-in range can also replace a free-
standing range. In this case, verify that the opening
is at least 30" (76.2 cm).

no clearance required (12 mm clearance from

Install Ventilation
Bosch strongly recommends the installation of a
ventilation hood above this range. For most kitchens
a certified hood rating of not less than 300 CFM is
recommended. The range hood must be installed
according to instructions furnished with the hood.

note: The appliance should not be installed with a
ventilation system that blows air downward toward
the burners. This type of ventilation system may
cause ignition and combustion problems with the
gas cooking appliance resulting in personal injury or
unintended operation.

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" (12.7 cm) beyond the bottom of the
cabinet.
From cooktop to materials above: There must be a
minimum clearance of 30" (76.2 cm) between the
top of the cooking surface and the bottom of an
unprotected wood or metal cabinet.
24" (61 cm) is acceptable when the bottom of the
wood or metal cabinet is protected by (a) not less
than 1/4" (6.4 mm) of flame retardant material which
must be covered with (b) not less than No. 28 MSG
sheet metal, 0.015" (0.4 mm) stainless steel' or
0.024" (0.6 mm) aluminum or copper.
From range walls to adjacent materials: Cabinet
Preparation. No clearance is required from unit walls
to adjacent vertical combustible walls on rear, right
or left.
Clearance from range top to adjacent vertical walls
must be at least 4" (10.2 cm).
note: Some cabinet finishes cannot survive the tem-
peratures allowed by safety standards, particularly
self-cleaning ovens; the cabinets may discolor or
stain. This is most noticeable with laminated cabi-
nets.
Prepare Walls and Floor
Seal any holes in the walls or floor. Remove any ob-
structions (extra electrical or gas connections, etc.)
so that range will rest against wall properly.
countertop requirements
Countertops must be smooth and level.
1 Instructions were determined using standard American cabinets. Standard
base cabinets measure 36" (91.4 cm) high x 24" (61 cm) deep. Cabinets
over the cooking surface and cabinets adjacent to those over the cooking
surface measure 13" (33 cm) deep from backwall. If nonstandard cabinets
are used, care should be taken to alter dimensions accordingly.
