Important Installation Information
GAS Type Verification
Verify the type of gas supplied to the location. Ensure that
the appliance is connected 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 18, 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 clearances to combustible surfaces specified in
“Step 2: Cabinet Preparation” on page 4.
Important:
* Abackguard 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 the 30" model.) For island installations
and other installations 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 11 before proceeding with the
installation.

Electric Power Supply:
See page 13 for specifications.
This appliance has been tested in accordance with ANSI
221.1, Standard for Household Cooking Appliances (USA)
and in accordance with CAN 1.1-M81 Domestic Gas
Ranges (Canadian).
It is strongly recommended that this appliance be installed
in conjunction with a suitable 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 2223.1/NFPA 54 current
issue and National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70-current

Ranges
It is the responsibility of the owner and the installer to
determine if additional requirements and/or standards
apply to specific installations.
Due to the high heat of the cooktop burners, installing a
microwave oven with a ventilation 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.
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.

Step 1: Ventilation
Requirements
It is strongly recommended that a suitable exhaust hood be
installed above the range. 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 ranges.
1. Select Hood and Blower Models:
* For wall installations, the hood width must, at a
minimum, equal the width of the range. Where space
permits, a hood larger in width than the range may be
desirable for improved ventilation performance.
* For island installations, the hood width should, at a
minimum, overhang the range by 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.
2. Hood Placement:
* For best smoke elimination, the lower edge of the hood
should be installed 30" 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 36" above the
cooking surface.
NOTICE:
Most range hoods contain combustible components which
must be considered when planning the installation.
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.

Important Notes:
It is recommended that a Thermador Professional wall or island hood or custom insert is used with Thermador
Professional Ranges.
Refer to www. Thermador.com for a complete selection of Professional Ventilation options, Blowers, and Accessories.
* 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 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” (overlapping
the range by a minimum of 3” on each end).
CFM = “cubic feet per minute” (standard blower capacity rating).
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. The 36” ranges may be recessed into the cabinets
beyond the edge of the front face of the oven (See
Figure 2).The 30" and 48" ranges are not approved to
be installed flush with the cabinets
CAUTION:
In these installations, the door and cabinet on
36-inch models can cause a pinching hazard.
3. The gas and electrical supply should be within the zone
shown in Figure 3a.
Note:
The maximum depth of over head cabinets installed on
either side of the hood is 13" (330mm).
A 36-inch minimum clearance is required between the top
of the cooking surface and the bottom of an unprotected
cabinet. A 30-inch clearance 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
English 4
than No. 28 MSG sheet steel, 0.015 inch (0.38 mm) thick
stainless steel, 0.024 inch (0.6 mm) aluminum, or 0.02 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 material 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 2). When clearance to combustible material A
is over 12", a Thermador Island Trim may be used.
(See Figure 2). Figure 2 indicates the space required
for each type of backguard.
6. A three (3) inch minimum clearance is needed when
the range is installed beside a combustible side wall.

Always keep appliance area clear and free from
combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable
vapors and liquids.
8. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation
air to the unit.
CAUTION:
Do not install the 30" and 48" ranges such that
the oven door is flush with the cabinet face. A
flush installation could result in damage to the
cabinets due to exposure to high heat.

Figure 3a: Gas & Electrical Supply Locations for Dual Fuel Ranges
Note:
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.
Note:
The installer should inform the consumer of the location of
the gas shut-off valve.
Note:
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.
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.)
Note:
The range is designed for nearly-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.
English 7

Electrical Supply
Installation of the range must be planned so that the rough-
in of the 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 connector should
protrude no more than 2" from the rear wall. See Figure 3b.
Refer to Figure 9 on page 14 for location of junction box on
unit. To minimize binding when the unit is connected to the
receptacle or junction box, orient the receptacle or conduit
connector, and slide back into position.

Step 3: Unpacking and Moving
the Range
CAUTION:
Proper equipment and adequate manpower
must be used in moving the range to avoid
injury, and to avoid damage to the unit or the
floor. The unit is heavy and should be handled
accordingly.
* The range has an approximate shipping weight as
shown in “Chart A”. The grates, griddie plate, burner
caps, front kick panel, and oven racks must be
removed to facilitate handling. Removing the door(s) is
also recommended. (See “Step 8: Door Removal and
Reinstallation” on page 18) This will reduce the weight
as shown in “Chart A” and allow the range to pass
through 30" doorways. See Figure 2 on page 6. Do not
remove the griddle element and tray assembly.
* Remove the outer carton and packing material from the
shipping pallet. The dual fuel ranges are held to the
pallet by four (4) bolts (see Figure 4 and Figure 5). The
two front pallet bolts are accessible only after removing
the Kick Panel. The Kick Panel is removed by two
screws below the lower corners of the oven cavity.
After removing the bolts, the range must be lifted and
removed from the pallet.
Note:
Leave adhesive-backed foam layer over brushed-metal
surfaces, to protect finish from scratches, until the range is
installed in its final position.
Important:
DO NOT lift the range by the oven door's handle, as this
may damage the door hinges and cause the door to fit
incorrectly to the oven cavity.
