apply to specific installations.
Remove all tape and packaging before using the
appliance. Please, recycle the packaging
material, as all THERMADOR®appliance
packaging material is recyclable. Never allow
children to play with packaging material.
Step 1: Ventilation
Requirements
It is strongly recommended that a suitable exhaust hood be
installed above the appliance. Downdraft ventilation should
not be used. The table on page 4 indicates the ventilation
hood options and blower capacity guidelines that are
recommended for use with all THERMADOR rangetops.
Due to the high heat capability of this unit, particular
attention should be paid to the hood and duct work
installation to assure it meets local building codes.
Due to the high heat of the rangetop burners, installing a
microwave oven with a ventilation system over the
rangetop is not recommended.
IMPORTANT:
Ventilation hoods and blowers are designed for use with
single wall ducting. However, some local building codes or
inspectors may require double wall ducting. Consult local
building codes and/or local agencies before starting to
assure that hood and duct installation will meet local
requirements.
NOTICE:
Most ventilation hoods contain combustible components
which must be considered when planning the installation.
1. Select Hood and Blower Models:
• For wall installations, the hood width must, at a
minimum, equal the width of the rangetop. Where
space permits, a hood larger in width than the rangetop
may be desirable for improved ventilation performance.
• For island installations, the hood width should
overhang the rangetop by a minimum of 3" (76 mm) on
each side.
2. Hood Placement:
• For best smoke elimination, the lower edge of the hood
should be installed 30" (762 mm) above the rangetop
cooking surface. Use a 36" (914 mm) minimum
clearance if the hood contains any combustible
materials such as a wood covering (see Figure 1 on
page 6).
3. Consider Make-Up Air:
• Due to the high volume of ventilation air, a source of
outside replacement air is recommended. This is
particularly important for tightly sealed and insulated
homes.
• A qualified heating and ventilating contractor should be
consulted.

Step 2: Cabinet Preparation
1. To ensure professional results, the cabinet and
countertop openings should be prepared by a qualified
cabinet worker.
2. The clearances shown in Figure 1 are required. The
same clearances apply to island installations, except
for the overhead cabinets, which must have a space
wide enough to accept the island hood.
3. The rangetop is designed to hang from the countertop
by its side flanges. The countertop however, must be
strong enough to support this rangetop. It may be
necessary to add a supporting cleat along each side
(see Figure 2) or a 2 x 4 corner brace (see Figure 3
and Figure 4 and Detail A). Another alternative would
be to construct a deck to set the rangetop on.
4. The rangetop can be installed in various positions with
the front either flush or projecting, depending on the
countertop’s depth. (See Figure 5, side view of
rangetop; see Figure 3, Figure 4, Figure 6 and Figure 7
for alternate mounting positions.)
5. The gas and electrical supply must be located in an
area that is accessible without requiring removal of the
rangetop. The appliance electrical power cord and gas
pipe connection are located on the left rear underside
of the rangetop, as shown in Figure 5 and Figure 9.
6. When installing against a combustible surface, a Low
Back guard is required. A THERMADOR®Low Back
guard must be purchased separately (see “Step 6:
Backguard Installation” on page 13).
7. 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.
8. When the rangetop is installed against a combustible
side wall a minimum clearance of 5” (127 mm) is
needed from the side of the rangetop to the wall.
9. The maximum depth of over head cabinets installed on
either side of the hood is 13" (330 mm).

IMPORTANT NOTES:
• It is recommended that a THERMADOR PROFESSIONAL®wall or island hood or custom insert is used with
THERMADOR PROFESSIONAL rangetops.
• Refer to www.thermador.com for a complete selection of ventilation options, blowers, and accessories.
• For high output gas rangetops (60,000 BTU or greater), the minimum of one (1) CFM of ventilation per 100 BTU is
recommended. If the rangetop has a griddle, add 200 CFM to the estimated blower capacity. Additional blower
capacity may be required for longer duct runs.
• For island applications, it is recommended to use a hood width that exceeds the width of the rangetop by 6”
(152 mm), overlapping the rangetop by 3” (76 mm) on each end.
• **Not all 48” Pro Wall Hood models can accommodate a 1300 CFM blower.
• CFM = “cubic feet per minute” (standard blower capacity rating).

English 5
10. There is a 36” (914 mm) minimum clearance required
between the top of the cooking surface and the bottom
of an unprotected cabinet. A 30” (762 mm) clearance
can be used when the bottom of the wood or metal
cabinet is protected by not less than 1/4” (6 mm) of a
flame retardant material covered with not less than No.
28 MSG sheet steel, 0.015” (0.38 mm) thick stainless
steel, 0.024” (0.61 mm) aluminum, or 0.02” (0.51 mm)
thick copper.
Flame retardant materials bear the mark:
UNDERWRITERS LABORATORIES INC.
CLASSIFIED MINERAL AND FIBER BOARDS
SURFACE BURNING CHARACTERISTICS
followed by the flame spread and smoke ratings. These
designations are shown as “FHC (FIame Spread/
Smoke Developed).” Materials with “O” flame spread
ratings are flame retardant. Local codes may allow
other flame spread ratings. It is the responsibility of the
installer to ensure installation is in accordance with
these ratings.
11. Establish the centerline of the rangetop’s desired
location. It should be the same as the center of the
overhead ventilation hood.
12. Cut the openings for the following installations:
• Wall installation, see Figure 3.
• Island installation, see Figure 4.
13. For installation of a 48" rangetop above two side-by-
side THERMADOR®warming drawers (WD24), refer
to Figure 8. Completing the installation as per Figure 8
will result in the left and right edges of the rangetop
being aligned with the left edge of the left-side warming
drawer and right edge of the right-side warming drawer.
If different alignment is desired, the 1Ǭ” (48 mm)
horizontal distance between warming drawer cutouts
may be varied. However, maintain at least a 1ǩ”
(29 mm) distance to avoid interference between the
warming drawers. Attach a 90-degree elbow to the gas
rangetop inlet pipe. All above-the-countertop
clearances must be maintained, as shown in Figure 1.
NOTES:
• If a solid side cabinet wall exists on one or both sides,
you will need to notch the front corner of the cabinet to
match the countertop notch and to allow clearance for
the rangetop front (see Detail A, Figure 3 and
Figure 4).
• If a supporting deck is used, the sides or bottom of the
cutout may be solid combustible or non-combustible
material. If the bottom is solid, provide a 12" by 12"
(305 x 305 mm) cutout in the left rear corner of the
supporting deck. This will provide clearance for the gas
inlet and power cord.
• Always keep appliance area clean and free from
combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable
vapors and liquids.
• Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation
air to the unit.
WARNING:
DO NOT block or obstruct the flow of air
through the ventilation openings. The vent
is located at the back of the appliance. The
vent needs to be unobstructed and open to
provide necessary airflow that is important
for proper performance.
DO NOT touch vent area while the
appliance is on and for 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.
DO NOT position plastic or other heat-
sensitive items on or near the vent. These
items could melt or ignite.

Step 3: Unpacking, Moving, &
Anchoring the Rangetop
• Verify that the appliance is correct for the type of gas
being provided. Refer to Step 4 before proceeding with
the installation.
• Remove the outer carton and packing material from the
shipping base. Ensure that you have all rangetop
components before proceeding.
• Remove the cooking grates, griddle plate (if
applicable), and burner caps to reduce rangetop’s
weight.
•Leave adhesive-backed foam layer over brushed-metal
surfaces, to protect finish from scratches, until the
rangetop is installed in its final position.
• Using a Phillips head screwdriver, remove the three
mounting brackets securing the rangetop to the pallet.
Discard the screws and brackets after removal.
• Attach the backguard before sliding the appliance into
the final installed position (see Step 6).
• Lift and place the rangetop in the countertop opening.
Be careful not to pinch the power cord or gas inlet.
Care should be used not to scratch the countertop.
• Make sure that the power cord is free and hanging
loose.
• The rangetop must be level for proper performance.
• Replace the cooking grates, griddle plate, and burner
caps. Ensure that the burner caps are correctly seated
on the burner bases.
Griddle Tilt Adjustment (not all models)
Check the griddle adjustment by pouring two tablespoons
of water on the back of the griddle plate (Figure 10). The
water should slowly roll into the grease tray. If not, adjust
the two screws under the back of the plate. Start with one
half turn counter-clockwise (CCW) of the screws. Further
adjustment should be made by one-quarter turn until water
slowly flows into the grease tray.
Step 4: Gas Requirements and
Hookup
Rangetops are shipped by the factory to operate on
natural gas.They must be converted for use with
propane. Verify the type of gas being used at the
installation site matches the type of gas used by the
appliance.
If the location site requires conversion from natural gas to
propane (LP), contact the dealer where the unit was
purchased or contact THERMADOR®to purchase a
conversion kit. The field conversion kit for the rangetops in
this series is THERMADOR Model PALPKITHC. Obey all
instructions in this kit for correct conversion of the gas
regulator and settings for the gas valves. Field conversion
must be done by qualified service personnel only.
CAUTION:
Proper equipment and adequate manpower
must be used in moving the appliance to
avoid damage and/or personal injury. The unit
is heavy and should be handled accordingly.

Step 5: Electrical
Requirements, Connection
and Grounding
• Before installing, turn power OFF at the service panel.
Lock service panel to prevent power from being turned
ON accidentally.
• Always disconnect appliance from the electric supply
either by disconnecting power cord or shutting off the
breaker at the service panel before servicing the
appliance.
• Before you plug in an electrical cord, be sure all
controls are in the OFF position.
• All 120 Volt rangetop models must be plugged into a
mating 3-Prong, Grounding-Type Receptacle. The
receptacle must be connected to a properly grounded
and polarized electrical power supply rated at 120VAC,
Single Phase, 60HZ. See “Electrical Power Supply
Over-current Protection Requirements” for proper over-
current protection requirements for each model.
• Observe all governing codes and ordinances when
grounding. In the absence of these codes or
ordinances observe National Electrical Code ANSI/
NFPA No. 70 current issue. See Figure 11 for
recommended grounding method.
• An electrical wiring diagram and schematic have been
attached to the back of the rangetop chassis for access
by a qualified service technician. Do not remove or
discard this important information.
Grounding Method
The rangetop is factory equipped with a power supply cord
with a three-prong grounding plug (with polarized parallel
blades).
IT MUST BE PLUGGED INTO A MATING, GROUNDING
TYPE RECEPTACLE THAT IS CONNECTED TO A
CORRECTLY POLARIZED 120 VOLT CIRCUIT (See
Figure 11).
THE THIRD, GROUND PRONG MUST NOT BE CUT OR
REMOVED UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.
Electrical Power Supply Over-current Protection
Requirements
4 Burners - 10 Amp circuit protection
6 Burners - 10 Amp circuit protection
4 Burners with electric griddle - 15 Amp circuit protection
6 Burners with electric griddle -15 Amp circuit protection
Installer - show the owner the location of the circuit
breaker. Mark it for easy reference.
WARNING:
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
To avoid the risk of electrical shock, personal
injury or death; verify electrical power is
turned off at the service panel and gas supply
is turned off until the rangetop is installed and
ready to operate.
CAUTION:
Improper grounding or reverse polarization will cause
malfunction (such as continuous sparking of the burner
igniters). This can damage the appliance and can create
a condition of shock hazard. If the circuit is not correctly
grounded and polarized, it is the responsibility and
obligation of the installer and user to have the existing
receptacle changed to a properly grounded and
polarized receptacle. This must be accomplished in
accordance with all applicable local codes and
ordinances by a qualified electrician. In the absence of
local codes and ordinances, the receptacle replacement
shall be in accordance with the National Electric Code.

Step 6: Backguard Installation
For island installations and other installations with over 12”
(305 mm) clearance, the included Flush Island Trim may be
used. A Low Back guard must be installed when there is
less than a 12" (305 mm) clearance between combustible
materials and back edge of cooktop. (See Figure 1 and
Figure 5.) 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.
Attach the backguard before sliding the appliance into the
final installed position. Follow Steps A through E below:
a. Depending on model, remove the 2 or 3 stainless Torx
screws in the front face of the included Flush Island
Trim. Lift up to fully remove the Flush Island Trim (A,
Figure 12).
b. Slide the support brackets between the two rangetop
chassis back panels. Secure each bracket with 4 x 1½”
(38 mm) screws (B, Figure 12).
c. Slide backguard over the two brackets on the rear of
the rangetop. Fasten them together with 8 x 1½”
(38 mm) screws (C, Figure 12).
d. Fasten the front of the backguard to the rangetop with
2 or 3 x ½” (12.7 mm) screws (D, Figure 12).
e. Place the backguard cap on top and secure using 2 x
½” (12.7 mm) stainless screws (E, Figure 12).

Step 7: Burner Test and
Adjustment
Install any loose components, such as burner caps and
grates that may have been removed earlier.
Be certain that burner caps seat properly into the burner
bases. Before testing operation of the appliance, verify that
the unit and the gas supply have been carefully checked for
leaks and that the unit has been connected to the electrical
power supply. Turn the manual gas shut-off valve to the
open position.
Test Rangetop Burners
Test Burner Ignition. Select a rangetop burner knob.
Push in and turn counterclockwise to HI. The ignitor/spark
module will produce a clicking sound. Once the air has
been purged from the supply lines, the burner should light
within four (4) seconds.
Test Flame: High Setting. Turn burner on to HI. See
Figure 13 for appropriate flame characteristics. If any of the
rangetop burners continue to burn mostly or completely
yellow, verify that the burner cap is positioned properly on
the burner base, then re-test. If flame characteristics do not
improve, call THERMADOR®.
Test Flame: Low Setting. Turn burner on to LOW.Verify
that the flame completely surrounds the burner. There
should be a flame at each burner port and there should be
no air gap between the flame and the burner. If any burners
do not carry over, call THERMADOR.
The two far left burners feature XLO®, causing the flame to
cycle on and off when the knob is set to the XLO range.
This is normal operation.
Repeat the Ignition and Flame Test procedures described
above for each rangetop burner.
WHEN FLAME IS PROPERLY ADJUSTED:
• There should be a flame at each burner port.
•There should be no air gap between the flame and
burner port.
Call THERMADOR if:
1. Any of the burners do not light.
2. Any of the burners continue to burn yellow.
Figure 13: Flame Characteristics
If the flame is completely or mostly yellow, verify that the
regulator is set for the correct fuel. After adjustment,
retest.
Some orange-colored streaking is normal during the
initial start-up.
Allow unit to operate 4-5 minutes and re-evaluate before
making adjustments.
Yellow Flames:
Further adjustment is required.
Yellow Tips on Outer Cones:
Normal for LP Gas.
Soft Blue Flames:
Normal for Natural Gas.

To Clean and Protect Exterior Surfaces
The stainless steel surfaces may be cleaned by wiping with
a damp soapy cloth. Any mild glass cleaner will remove
fingerprints and smears.
Follow all cleaning by rinsing with clear water. Wipe dry
with a clean soft cloth to avoid water marks. For
discolorations or deposits that persist, use a non-scratching
household cleanser or stainless steel polishing powder with
a little water and a soft cloth. For stubborn cases, use a
plastic scouring pad or soft bristle brush together with
cleanser and water. Rub lightly in direction of polishing
lines or “grain” of the stainless finish. Avoid using too much
pressure which may mar the surface.
Use a stainless steel cleaner/polish to protect the finish and
maintain appearance.
DO NOT allow deposits to remain for long periods of time.
DO NOT use ordinary steel wool or steel brushes. Small
bits of steel may adhere to the surface causing rust.
DO NOT allow salt solutions, disinfectants, bleaches or
cleaning compounds to remain in contact with stainless
steel for extended periods. Many of these compounds
contain chemicals which could prove harmful. Rinse with
water after exposure and wipe dry with a clean cloth.
Specifications are for planning purposes only. Refer to
installation instructions and consult your countertop supplier
