Within the 6” (15.2 cm) side clearance to combustible vertical surfaces above 36” (91.4 cm), the maximum wall cabinet depth must be 13” (33.0 cm) and wall cabinets within this 6” (15.2 cm) side clearance must be 18” (45.7 cm) above the 36” (91.4 cm) high countertop.
Wall cabinet above the cooktop must be a minimum of 36” (91.4 cm) above the countertop for a full width of the cooktop.

The minimum height requirement does NOT apply if a range hood is installed over the cooking surface.
