Any body have reference material as to distances from oven and stove tops to combustible materials (cabinets). Code book says 30" or per man. listing.
Any Pictures?
Thanks
Hi. James;
I don’t have fancy sketches of what I am talking about like some out there, but I do know that if you install a kitchen, the main counter top is at 34" to 36" and the upper cabinets are 18" above that and if you have a cook top it is usually 15" higher. == 30"-33" above the counter.
Typical installation of cabinets is 36" - 18"- and 30" = you got it.

Go to page 4 of the installation manual for this particular model.

Was it as close as this?
Brain, it was almost that close. When I first walked in the kitchen I was told the smoke/fire damage above the cooktop on the ceiling was from a fire. The home was a mobile home and the vertical clearance from the top was about 23 inches. I noted inadequate clearance and for furher evaluation.
Thanks everyone for the replies.
