Important Installation Information
GAS type verification
Important:
Verify the type of gas supplied to the location. Ensure that the appliance is con-
nected to the type of gas for which it is certified. All models are certified for use with
natural gas. Field conversion of the appliance for use with propane gas supply will
require a conversion kit.
_WARNING
To avoid possible burn or fire hazard, a backguard designed specifically
for this range must be installed whenever the range is used.
Refer to "Chart C: Backguard Kit Model Numbers" on page 23, for the correct
backguard models that are designed for this range, After selecting the correct
backguard, the range must be installed properly, using the minimum clear-
ances to combustible surfaces specified in the Cabinet Preparation instruc-
tions on Page 5,
A backguard must be utilized when there is less than a 12" horizontal clearance
between combustible materials and the back edge of the range. A Thermador
backguard must be ordered separately and installed at the rear of the range (A
Low Back is supplied with 30" model). For island installations and other installa-
tions with more than 12" clearance, an optional stainless steel Island Trim is
available to cover the backguard mounting flanges.
Verify that the appliance is correct for the type of gas being provided. Refer to
"Step 5: Gas Requirements and Hookup" on page 15 before proceeding with the
installation.

Electric Power Supply:
This appliance has been tested in accordance with ANSI Z21.1, Standard for
Household Cooking Appliances (USA) and in accordance with CAN 1.1-M81
Domestic Gas Ranges (Canadian).
It is stronqlv recommended that this appliance be installed in conjunction with a suit-
able overhead vent hood. (See "Step 1:Ventilation Requirements" on page 3.) 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.
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 Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 current issue
and National Electrical 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.

CAUTION
When connecting the unit to propane gas, make certain the propane gas
tank is equipped with its own high-pressure regulator in addition to the
pressure regulator supplied with the range. The maximum gas
pressure to this appliance must not exceed 14.0 inches water
column (34,9 mb) from the propane gas tank to the pressure
regulator,
,_ CAUTION
This unit is designed as a cooking appliance. Based on safety
considerations, never use it for warming or heating a room.
This appliance complies with one or more of the following standards:
UL 858, Standard for the Safety of Household Electric Ranges
UL 923, Standard for the Safety of Microwave Cooking Appliances
UL 507, Standard for the Safety of Electric Fans
ANSI Z21.1, American National Standard for Household Cooking Gas Appli-
ances
CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 113-M1984 Fans and Ventilators
CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 61-M89 Household Cooking Ranges
It is the responsibility of the owner and the installer to determine if additional require-
ments and/or standards apply to specific installations.
Due to the high heat of the cooktop burners, installing a microwave oven with a ven-
tilation system over the cooktop is not recommended.
,_ CAUTION
To eliminate risk of burns or fire caused by reaching over heated surface
units, cabinet storage located above the surface units should be avoided.
Step 1: Ventilation Requirements
It is stronqIv recommended that a suitable exhaust hood be installed above the
range. Downdraft ventilation should not be used. The Table on page 5 indicates the
ventilation hood options and blower capacity guidelines that are recommended for
use with all Thermador ranges.
Select Hood and Blower Models:
For wall installations, the hood width must, at a minimum, equal the width of the
range cooking surface. Where space permits, a hood larger in width than the
cooking surface may be desirable for improved ventilation performance.
For island installations, the hood width should overhang the range cooking sur-
face by a minimum of 3" on each side.
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.
Do not install a microwave oven/ventilator combination above the range, as these
type of units do not provide the proper ventilation and are not suitable for use with
the range.
Page 3

3,
Hood Placement:
For best smoke elimination, the lower edge of the hood should be installed 36"
above the range cooking surface. (See Figure 1).
If the hood contains any combustible materials (i.e. a wood covering), it must be
a minimum of 40" above the cooking surface.
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.

Important Notes:
It is recommended that a Thermador Professional wall or island hood or custom insert is used with Thermador Pro-
fessional Ranges.
Refer to www.thermador.com for a complete selection of Professional Ventilation options, Blowers, and Accesso-
ries.
* For high output gas ranges (60,000 BTU or greater), the minimum of one (1) CFM of ventilation per 100 BTU is
recommended. If the range has a grill or 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 range by 6" (overlap-
ping the range by a minimum of 3" on each end).
CFM = "cubic feet per minute" (standard blower capacity rating).
Page 4

Step 2: Cabinet Preparation
1. The range is a free standing unit. If the unit is to be placed adjacent to cabinets,
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 flared island hood, as indicated in Figure 1.
2. These ranges may be recessed into the cabinets beyond the edge of the front
face of the oven (See Figure 2a and Figure 2b).
,_ CAUTION
In these installations, the door and cabinet can cause a pinching hazard.
3. The gas and electrical supply should be within the zones shown in Figure 3a.
Note: The maximum depth of over head cabinets installed on either side of the hood is
13".
A 40-inch minimum clearance is required between the top of the cooking surface
and the bottom of an unprotected cabinet. A 36-inch distance can be used when the
bottom of the wood or metal cabinet is protected by not less than 1/4 inch of a flame
retardant material covered with not less than No. 28 MSG sheet steel, 0.015 inch
(0.4 mm) thick stainless steel, 0.024 inch (0.6 mm) aluminum, or 0.020 inch (0.5
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 (Flame Spread/Smoke Developed)." Materials with "O" flame spread ratings
are flame retardant. Local codes may allow other flame spread ratings.
4. Any openings in the wall behind the range and in the floor under the range must
be sealed.
5. When there is less than a 12" horizontal clearance between combustible mate-
rial A and the back edge of the range above the cooking surface, a Thermador
Low Back or Pot and Pan Shelf must be installed. (See Figure 2a). When clear-
ance to combustible material A is over 12", a Thermador Island Trim may be
used. (See Figure 2b). Figures 2a and 2b indicate the space required for each
type of backguard.
6. Always keep appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline
and other flammable vapors and liquids.
7. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air to the unit.
8. A (4) inch minimum clearance is needed when the range is installed beside a
combustible side wall.

If not already present, install gas shut-off valve in an easily accessible location.
Make sure all users know where and how to shut off the gas supply to the range.
The installer should inform the consumer of the location of the gas shut-off
valve,
Any opening in the wall behind the appliance and any opening in the floor under the
appliance must be sealed.
The dual fuel ranges may be connected to the power supply with a range supply
cord kit or by hard-wiring to the power supply. It is the responsibility of the installer to
provide the proper wiring components (cord or conduit and wires) and complete the
electrical connection as dictated by local codes and ordinances, and/or the National
Electric Code. The units must be properly grounded. Refer to Step 6 for details.
Canadian models have power cord supplied.
The range must be connected only to the type of gas for which it is certified. If
the range is to be connected to propane gas, ensure that the propane gas supply
tank is equipped with its own high pressure regulator in addition to the pressure
regulator supplied with the range. (See Step 5.)

Electrical Supply
Note:
Note:
Note:
The range is designed for flush installation to the back wall. For a successful
installation, it may be necessary to reposition the gas-supply line and electrical cord
as the range is pushed back to its final position. SUGGESTION: This may be
accomplished by carefully pulling on a rope or twine looped around the gas or
electrical supply line as the range is pushed back into its final installed
position.
Installation of the range must be planned so that rough-in of junction box for the
receptacle or conduit connection will allow maximum clearance to the rear of the
unit.
When the power supply cord or conduit is connected to the mating receptacle or
junction box cover, the combined plug/receptacle or junction box cover/conduit con-
nector should protrude no more than 1 3/4" from the rear wall for 30" and 36"
Ranges; 2" maximum protrusion from the rear wall for 48" Ranges. See Figure 3b.
Refer to Figure 9 on Page 19 for location of junction box on unit. To minimize bind-
ing when the unit is connected to the receptacle or junction box, orient the recepta-
cle or conduit connector, and slide back into position.
Canadian models have power cord supplied with range.
When using a 240VAC receptacle having its own housing, it will be necessary to
recess the receptacle's housing into the rear wall. Mount the receptacle securely to
a wall stud, then seal around the receptacle's housing. Follow all local electrical
codes.

Note:
Figure 4: Removal of the Four (4) Shipping Bolts
Leave adhesive-backed foam layer over brushed-metal surfaces, to protect finish
from scratches, until the range is installed in final position.
Due to the weight, a dolly with soft wheels should be used to move this unit. The
weight must be supported uniformly across the bottom (See Figure 5).
After transporting the range by dolly close to its final location, the range can be
tipped back and supported on the rear legs while the dolly is carefully removed.
THE FLOOR UNDER THE LEGS SHOULD BE PROTECTED BEFORE PUSH-
ING THE UNIT INTO POSITION, The anti-tip device must be installed (Step 4),
gas and electrical connections should be made (Step 5 and Step 6), and the
backguard installed (Step 7) before the range is placed in its final position.
For proper performance, the range must be level. (It is very important for all
products that have the griddle or grill feature.) The range is leveled by adjusting
the legs with a wrench.
Replace the kick panel. It is important that the screws retaining the kick
panel are secure to prevent accidental access to hot surfaces.

material.
Important: DO NOT liftthe range by the oven door handle, as this may damage the door hinges
and cause the door to fit incorrectly to the oven cavity.
Grill/Griddle Tilt
Adjustment (Not All
Models)
If the range is equipped with an electric griddle or gas grill, check the grill/griddle
frame adjustment by pouring two tablespoons of water on the back of the griddle or
grill plate. The water should slowly roll into the grease tray. If not, adjust the two
screws under the back of the frame. Start with one half turn counterclockwise
(CCW) of the screws. Further adjustment should be made by one-quarter turn until
water slowly flows into the grease tray.
Step 4: Installing Anti-Tip Device
For 30" and 36" ranges, an anti-tip device must be installed as per these instruc-
tions.
_WARNING - RANGE TIPPING HAZARD
All ranges can tip and injury can result. To prevent accidental tip-
ping of the range, attach it to the floor, wall or cabinet by installing
the Anti-Tip Device supplied.
A risk of tip-over may exist if the appliance is not installed in accor-
dance with these instructions.
If the range is pulled away from the wall for cleaning, service or any
other reason, ensure that the Anti-Tip Device is properly reengaged
when the range is pushed back against the wall. In the event of
abnormal usage (such as a person standing, sitting, or leaning on
an open door), failure to take this precaution can result in tipping of
the range. Personal injury might result from spilled hot liquids or
from the range itself.

120/240 VAC power supply will cause malfunction, damage this appliance, and
possibly create a condition of shock hazard. If the correct power supply circuit is
not provided, it is the responsibility and obligation of the installer and user to
have proper power supply connected. This must be accomplished in accor-
