New range warming up cabinets

9 years ago

Hi everyone! We recently installed new Kraftmaid Maple Cabinets - stained, all plywood construction, raised panel if it makes a difference, and also a Samsung Duo Flex slide in range. When we use the oven the cabinet doors and drawers next to the range are getting hot to the touch. Is this normal with a slide in? There's a disclaimer in our user manual that states they were designed were designed to comply with max temperature of wood cabinets at 194*. Our old free standing Kenmore never did this and I'm concerned the heat will damage the finish on our new cabinets.

Thanks for any help or advice you can offer.
