The insulation aspect is an issue, one is the safety concern and a box should be built around them...very easy but insurance concerns remain.
The other aspect of the lack of insulation is that if you have a small house, low ceilings, small kitchen...the range is going to heat up that room...not terrible, but more than your average residential range.
+1 on the 6 burners and double oven as long as they are not in a single range. A 36" range with double oven gets you two very small ovens... |

All true. I left 2 inches to the sides and a little at the back. The back is hollow anyway, so there is air circulation all around. Another point regarding the use of the range, yes, in a commercial kitchen the unit is likely to be blazing all day and night. At home, the most severe use is on holidays when the oven and the burners are all going. I watch the situation closely, but there is more of a chance that there would be stove top fire than a cabinet fire. That can happen with any range.
Accordingly, I keep two types of extinguishers on hand and plenty of towels to wet and throw over a fire.
