   The stove literature installation instructions usually gives the clearances. If you don't ahve it look online at the Manufactures website.  I don't know if there are local or state codes but there probabaly are. Chances are the Manufactures specs fall within those guidelines.

   I think you really have to check range to range. Some of the commercial types that find their way into a lot of homes these days have higher clearance requirements or allow no wood cabinets above - typically get a range hood.

   One Viking I looked at had a 42" requirement. Most manufacturers websites contain the installation guidelines for their products.

   Good luck,

   Frank
