“If you have a freestanding model, do the sides get hot to the touch when baking / using the oven? I have a slide-in model that will be sitting next to a fridge, with a piece of cabinet wall in between. Thinking os installing a heat shield on the wood.”

Hello- Thank you for your questions. We did find that information in the installation guide of the appliance that you can access as well on our website searching the model number. We will list that below for you. MINIMUM DIMENSIONS BETWEEN COOKTOP, WALLS AND ABOVE THE COOKTOP: A. Make sure the wall covering, countertop, flooring and cabinets around the range can withstand the heat (up to 200°F) generated by the range. 0” to cabinets below cooktop and at the range back. B. Allow 30” minimum clearance between surface units and bottom of unprotected wood or metal cabinet, or allow a 24” minimum when bottom of wood or metal cabinet is protected by no less than 1/4” thick flame retardant millboard covered with not less than No. 28 MSG sheet metal, (.015”), .015” thick stainless steel, .024” aluminum, or .020” copper. C. This appliance has been approved for 0” spacing to adjacent surfaces above the cooktop. However, a 6” minimum spacing to surfaces less than 15” above the cooktop and adjacent cabinet is recommended to reduce exposure to steam, grease splatter, and heat. We do hope this helps! If you need anything else in the future, please let us know. Sincerely- Dianna@Cafe
