The following are general minimum clearances for ranges: 1 ½ inches to nearest adjacent sidewall above the cooktop on both sides. 30 inches between the cooktop and a cabinet. 0 inches for sides below the cooktop.
Without a backguard, a stove or range should typically be installed at least 6 inches away from a combustible back wall surface, like drywall. With a backguard, the range can usually be installed with zero wall clearance.
A minimum clearance of 36 inches from the top of the stove to the ceiling or any combustible materials above it. Hearth Requirements: The hearth should extend at least 18 inches in front of the loading door and 8 inches on each side of the stove.
Guidelines recommend 15” of space on either one or both sides of an oven, or if the oven is in a tall cabinet and this is not possible, to have 15” of landing space no more than 48” in front of the oven as long as it does not open into the main walkway.
The distance between the cooktop and any adjacent walls or other combustible materials may also require a minimum clearance. The distance between your cooktop and the back wall should be between 3-10 inches.
The following are general minimum clearances for ranges: 1 ½ inches to nearest adjacent sidewall above the cooktop on both sides. 30 inches between the cooktop and a cabinet. 0 inches for sides below the cooktop.
Firstly, the minimum space allowed between the cooktop elements or gas burners and combustible materials directly overhead is 600 mm. Secondly, there must be at least 50 mm clearance from the back edge of the cooktop to a non-combustible wall surface or splashback.
The recommended safe distance is 650mm for electric, ceramic or induction hobs and 750mm for gas hobs. Using wall units above your range cooker could be a little tricky though.
Cooking surface landing area: 12 inches to 15 inches on each side for hot items and ingredients used for cooking.
The answer to this question is concise and sweet. As a rule of thumb, a wall oven requires around 3 inches of room in between your cabinet walls. This gap will enable you to install virtually any standard oven housing unit. It will also help shield the surrounding cabinetry from the oven's heat.
Stove: gas or electric
Make sure you have a 30” clearance between the cooking surface of an electric stove and the bottom of your upper cabinet and a 36” clearance for a gas stove. This means that the bottom of the cabinet with the range hood should be 66" to 72" from the finished floor.
Stove dimensions can vary between the stove size itself and the cutout measurements. For example, a 30-inch stove may actually measure at 29⅞ inches wide, but it will require a 30-inch cutout for installation. It's important to check the exact specifications of each stove to make sure it will fit your available space.
Household cooking appliances shall have a vertical clearance above the cooking top of not less than 30 inches (760 mm) to combustible material and metal cabinets.
Ranges. Electric Ranges require 0" side wall clearance above the counter height but up to 6" is recommended to avoid possible heat damage to surrounding surfaces.
How Much Space Do You Need for a 30-Inch Stove? A 30-inch (76.2 cm) stove needs at least 31 inches (78.7 cm). This means half an inch on both sides. While fitting the stove snuggly may sound like a great idea, it is not practical.
Allow at least 15 to 18 inches of counter space on one side of the oven. Allow counter space on both sides of the stove or stovetop – 12 to 18 inches on one side and 15 to 24 on the other.
A modern, properly designed stove will need no clearance. It is walled and insulated to maintain the heat. Besides fire safety, this also helps energy efficiency.
Answer: An Electric, Induction, or Gas Cooktop can be installed above a wall oven, noting the following: 1/4" clearance is required between all cooktops and wall ovens. Clearance is measured from the bottom of the cooktop burner box.
These kitchen triangle rules of thumb should be applied when designing a kitchen layout: The sum of the three sides of the work triangle should not exceed 26 feet. Each side of the triangle should measure between 4 and 9 feet. The work triangle should not cut through a kitchen island by more than 12 inches.
600mm of vertical clearance to a combustible surface, and 200mm of horizontal distance to a vertical surface. If these measurements can't be met, the surface in question must be protected with a fire resistant material in accordance with AG/601. 600mm to a rangehood.
There is usually around a 2.5mm gap on each side of the range for the cabinetry. Depending on the model and the cabinet makers, some may require a larger gap (up to 10mm) to protect the cabinetry from heat damage.
All free-standing gas cookers must have a minimum clearance of 20mm to adjacent kitchen base units or surfaces on either side or as stipulated in the manufacturer's instructions. Brand new gas cookers installed in flats must feature a 'Flame Supervision Device'.
It's recommended to have a minimum of 8" counter space on either side of the cooktop for ease of use and food preparation. If you're installing an island cooktop, you'll need at least 30” of counter space around the cooking surface to provide adequate room to work with pots, pans and ingredients.
Side clearances
You require a minimum of 200mm clearance, when measuring from the outer edge of the nearest burner to any vertical combustible surface. If that surface is closer than 200mm, it must be protected.
