Install Ventilation; Prepare Range - Bosch HES23 Mode D'emploi

Your Life ...

1. 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.
2. Prepare Cabinets
This unit is designed for installation near adjacent walls
and projecting surfaces constructed of combustible
materials.
Allow a minimum of 30 inches between cabinets where
range is to be installed (See Figure 1).**
Required Clearances***
From cooktop to materials above (See Figure 2)
There must be a minimum clearance of 30 inches
between the top of the cooking surface and the bottom
of an unprotected wood or metal cabinet.
24 inches is acceptable when the bottom of the wood or
metal cabinet is protected by (a) not less than 1/4" of
flame retardant material which must be covered with
(b) not less than No. 28 MSG sheet metal, 0.015 inch
stainless steel' or 0.024 inch aluminum or copper.
From range walls to adjacent materials (See Figure
2)
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".
NOTE: Some cabinet finishes cannot survive the
temperatures allowed by U.L., particularly self-cleaning
ovens; the cabinets may discolor or stain. This is most
noticeable with laminated cabinets.
3. Prepare Electrical Outlet
The electrical outlet must be located in the shaded
space in Figure 3.
4. Prepare Walls and Floor
Seal any holes in the walls or floor. Remove any
obstructions (extra electrical or gas connections, etc.) so
that range will rest against wall properly.

5. Prepare Range

Place range in front of cabinets where it is to be
installed. Remove any packaging.
** 12 mm clearance from range sidewall to cabinet required in Canada.
***Instructions were determined using Standard American cabinets. Standard base cabinets measure 36" high x 24" deep . Cabinets
over the cooking surface and cabinets adjacent to those over the cooking surface measure 13 inches deep from backwall. If
nonstandard cabinets are used, care should be taken to alter dimensions accordingly.
