Kitchen Cabs above range

[Marc M]

I thought I saw somewhere a code section that describes the distance of kitchen cabinets above a range. Anyone see this or know the section/book?

[Darren Miller]

In NJ, It's M1901.1

Freestanding or built-in ranges shall have a vertical clearance above the cooking top of not less than 30 inches...

[John Ritter]

I agree

[Marc M]

Thanks, much appreciated.

Depends on what the cabinets are made out of.

If combustible material, i.e., wood, then 30" minimum ... however, that is the minimum, some appliances require a greater clearance height above them.
