Jerry Simon Posted February 18, 2017 Report Posted February 18, 2017 Does code permit an electrical wall receptacle to be placed behind & above a range top/cook top? The worry is that a dangling appliance cord here could easily melt.
Jim Katen Posted February 18, 2017 Report Posted February 18, 2017 The NEC allows it. The NCCS* prohibits it under section 1-800-dumbass. *National Code of Common Sense
Bill Kibbel Posted February 18, 2017 Report Posted February 18, 2017 I've had 2 ranges with receptacles built in.
Erby Posted February 18, 2017 Report Posted February 18, 2017 The old gas ranges had it there to control the light and controls.
