Electrical Power Supply
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. Grounding reduces the
risk of electric shock by providing a safe pathway for
electric current in the event of a short circuit.
This appliance complies with one or more of the
following Standards:
• UL 858, The Standard for the Safety of Household
Electric Ranges
• ANSI Z21.1, The American National Standard for
Household Cooking Gas Appliances
• CAN 1-1.1-M81, Domestic Gas Ranges
• CSA C22.2 No. 61, Household Cooking Ranges
Check local building codes for the proper method of
appliance installation. Local codes vary. Installation,
electrical connections and grounding must comply with all
applicable codes. In the absence of local codes the
appliance should be installed in accordance with the
National Electric Code ANSI Z223.1 current issue and
National Gas Code ANSI/NFPA 70 – current issue. In
Canada, installation must be in accordance with the CAN
1-B149.1 and .2 – Installation Codes for Gas Burning
Appliances and/or local codes.
This appliance is equipped with an intermittent/interrupted
ignition device that cycles the two far left surface burners
on and off when in the ExtraLow®setting.
Gas Supply
All models are convertible to LP/Propane gas using an
accessory conversion kit.
IMPORTANT:
When installing against a combustible surface, a Low Back
guard is required. A THERMADORTM Low Back guard
must be purchased separately. See “STEP 6: Backguard
Installation” on page 13 for backguard and installation
information.
When using the Flush Island Trim, THERMADOR
recommends a minimum 12'' (305 mm) rear clearance to a
combustible surface (see Figure 1, Clearance
Requirements). Clearances from non-combustible
materials are not part of the ANSI Z21.1 scope and are not
certified by CSA. Clearances of less than 12'' (305 mm)
must be approved by the local codes and/or by the local
authority having jurisdiction.

several minutes after the appliance is off. Some parts of
the vent and surrounding areas become hot enough to
cause burns. Allow appliance sufficient time to cool before
touching or cleaning vent areas.
