A:Answer Thanks for your interest in the NX58H9500WS, Charlie. This and other Samsung Ranges are designed to meet industry standards. Following is the related temperature information provided in the installation guide with regard to the surrounding cabinets: "This range has been designed to comply with the maximum allowable wood cabinet temperature of 194°F (90 °C). Make sure the wall covering, countertops, and cabinets around the range can withstand the heat (up to 194 °F [90 °C]) generated by the range. If not, discoloration, delamination, or melting may occur."
If you're unsure whether your cabinets adhere to this standard, you may want to contact the cabinet manufacturer for confirmation.
