How far should a stove be from a window?
For a variety of reasons, most building codes require that a range of at least 12 inches from a window is required. An fire can jump to curtains of the windows. A breeze through an open window could blow out a gas burner's flame and cause gas to build up, possibly undetected.
A gas hob can also be used under a window. Due to the risk of the flame blowing out, building regulations only allow a gas stove to be placed in front of a window. This is not an issue if you're going to use an induction hob.
