This is from the Smart Tiles web site under faq.
Q : Can they be installed behind the range or stove ?
A : You can use them behind the range without any worries. The Smart Tiles are resistant to heat as well as cooking splashes.
For gas ranges without a back control panel or metal lid, keep a safety zone of 15 inches (vertically) on the back wall to prevent any direct exposure to an open flame (see illustration A & B). We recommend the use of a stainless steel panel to fill that area. For other cooking devices such as counter ovens, toaster ovens and others, keep a distance of 2 inches between wall and device.
