Re: Receptacle-cook top clearence requirement.
'No', and 'yes'.
'No' as far as the national electrical code goes.
'Yes' as far as the installation instructions for that appliance goes (and the Fuel Gas Code requires appliances to be installed in accordance with their installation instructions) due to the requirement for surfaces on that wall to be able to withstand a minimum 200 degrees (or is it usually 250 degrees) and some larger gas cooktops even require a higher heat resistant material back there.
I doubt that plastic will withstand the temperature specified.
