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. Ranges are certified for use with
only natural gas or propane (LP) gas. Make certain the
range matches the gas type available; these ranges
are NOT convertible between gas types.
W ARNING
To avoid possible burn or fire hazard, a backguard
designed specifically for this range must be installed
whenever the range is used.
Refer to the Backguard Installation instructions
on page 14, 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 the Cabinet Preparation instructions on pages 4 and 5.
Important
• A backguard must be utilized when there is less
than a 12” horizontal clearance between combustible materials and the back edge of the range. The
Thermador Low Back backguard must be ordered separately and installed at the rear of the
range. 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 on Page 12 before
proceeding with the installation.
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
This unit is designed as a cooking appliance.
Based on safety considerations, never use it for
warming or heating a room.
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
strongly recommended that this appliance be
installed in conjunction with a suitable overhead vent
hood. (See Step 1 for Ventilation Requirements.) 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.
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 Appliances
• CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 113-M1984 Fans and Venti-
lators
• CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 61-M89 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 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.
It is the responsibility of the owner and the installer to
determine if additional requirements and/or standards
apply to specific installations.
1
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 below indicates the
Thermador hoods, by model
number, that are recommended
for use with all ranges.
1. 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, at a minimum, overhang the range
cooking surface 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 36" above
the range cooking surface.
(See Fig. 1).
• If the hood contains any combustible materials (i.e. a wood
covering), it must be a minimum of 40" above the cooking
surface.
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.

Notes:* For wall installations where adequate space is available, the installer or user may elect to
use a hood that is wider than the rangetop cooking surface. This may be particularly beneficial
for installations having a long duct run or when heavy usage of the grill is anticipated, in which
improved capturing of the cooking exhaust is desired.
** Thermador offers a choice of remote (VTR1030D or VTR1530D) or in-hood (VTN1030C)
blowers for use in wall installations.
*** Hood models PHH30DS and PHH36DS include a 600-CFM built-in blower. For optimal
ventilation, a hood model with 1000-CFM blower or greater is recommended for ranges
having a griddle or grill.

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 Fig. 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 Fig. 1.
2. These ranges may be recessed into the cabinets
beyond the edge of the front face of the oven (See
Figures 2A and 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 Fig. 3A.
Note: The maximum depth of over head cabinets
installed on either side of the hood is 13".
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 and the
back edge of the range above the cooking surface, a Thermador Low Back or Pot and Pan
Shelf must be installed. (See Fig. 2A). When
clearance to combustible material is over 12",
a Thermador Island Trim may be used. (See Fig.
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.
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:

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: An opening in the wall behind the appliance and any opening in the floor under the appliance must be
sealed.
The All Gas ranges may be connected to the power supply with a range supply cord (supplied with range)
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 gas 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 flush installation to the back of the wall.
PLUG
For a successful installation, it may be necessary to reposition the gassupply line and electrical cords as the range is pushed back to its final
installed position.
IMPORTANT:
NEMA 5-20
RECEPTACLE
The cord supplied with the gas ranges, having an electric griddle,
requires a NEMA 5-20 receptacle, shown here. Local codes may
require a different wiring method.

Step 3: Unpacking, Moving and Placing the Range
• 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 Fig.
5).
• After transporting the professional 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 PUSHING THE UNIT INTO POSITION. The anti-tip device must be installed
(STEP 4), gas and electrical connections should
be made (STEPS 5 and 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 feature.) The range is leveled by
adjusting the legs with a wrench.
• Replace the kick panel. It is important that the
two (2) screws retaining the kick panel are
secure to prevent accidental access to hot
surfaces.
• Ensure that the burner caps are correctly
seated on the burner bases of the range's
cooktop.
FIG. 5- Dolly Positioning
Remove all tape and packaging before using the
appliance. Destroy the packaging after unpacking the appliance. Never allow children to play with
packaging material.
IMPORT ANT: 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 .
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 all 30" and 36" ranges, an anti-tip device must be installed as per these
instructions.
W ARNING
RANGE TIPPING HAZARD
• All ranges can tip and injury can result.
To prevent accidental tipping 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 accordance 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.
