PC486GE, PC486GL and PC484WK feature four
sealed burners, electric griddle and gas grill, six
sealed burners and an electric griddle, six sealed
burners and a gas grill, or four sealed burners and
a 30,000 BTU/HR WOK, respectively. All sealed
burners are rated at 15,000 BTU/HR, electric
griddles at 1,600 watts, and grills at 18,000 BTU/HR.

Model PC364GD
(Shown with Low Back Model GPS36LB)
IMPORTANT
• A backguard must be utilized when there is
less than a 12" horizontal clearance between
combustible materials and the back edge of the
cooktop. The Thermador Low Back backguard
must be ordered separately and installed at the
rear of the cooktop. 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 4 before
proceeding with the installation.

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 below indicates the Thermador hoods, by
model number, that are recommended for use with the 24" Wok
and 36" and 48" cooktops.
1. Select Hood and Blower Models:
• For wall installations, the
hood width must, at a minimum, equal the nominal
width of the appliance 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 mini-
mum, overhang the appliance cooking surface by 6"
on each side.
• Hood blower speeds should
be variable to reduce noise
and loss of heated or air conditioned household air when
maximum ventilation is not
required. Normally, the maximum blower speed is only
required when using the grill.
2. Hood Placement:
• For best smoke elimination,
the lower edge of the hood
should be installed a minimum of 30" to a maximum of
36" above the appliance
cooking surface. (See Fig.
1).
• If the hood contains any combustible materials (i.e., a
wood covering), it must be a
minimum of 36" 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.
NOTE: Ventilation hoods and
blowers are designed for use
with single-wall ducting. Some
local building codes may require
double-wall ducting. Before starting installation, consult local
building codes and agencies to
insure that the installation will
meet local requirements.

NOTES: * For wall installations where adequate sp ace is available, the installer or user may elect to use
a hood that is wider than the cooktop cooking surface. This may be particularly beneficial for
those cases, such as a long duct run or heavy usage of the grill, in which improved capturing
of the cooking exhaust is desired.
** Thermador offers a choice of remote (VTR1000Q or VTR1400Q) or in-hood (VTN1000Q)
blowers for use in wall installations.

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 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 island hood.
3 . The cooktop is designed to hang from the countertop
by its side flanges. The countertop however, must be
strong enough to support this heavy cooktop. It may
be necessary to add a supporting cleat along each
side (see Fig. 2) or a 2 x 4 corner brace (see Figs. 3
and 4 and Detail A). Another alternative would be to
construct a deck to set the cooktop on.
4 . The cooktop can be installed in various positions
with the front either flush or projecting, depending on
the countertop’s depth. (See Fig. 5, side view of
cooktop; see Figs. 3, 4, 6 and 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 cooktop. The appliance electrical power cord
and gas pipe connection are located on the left
rear underside of the cooktop, as shown in Figs. 5
and 9. Make sure the gas regulator is horizontal
when installed in the gas supply line.
6. The maximum depth of over head cabinets installed on either side of the hood is 13".
A 36-inch minimum clearance is required between the
top of the cooktop and the bottom of an unprotected
cabinet. A 30-inch minimum distance is necessary
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:

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.
7. When there is less than a 12" horizontal clearance between combustible material and the
back edge of the cooktop above the cooking
surface, a Thermador Low Back backguard must
be installed. (See Step 6). When clearance to

by-side Thermador Warming Drawers, Model
No. WD24, refer to Fig. 8. Completing the installation as per Fig. 8 will result in the left and right
edges of the cooktop 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 1-7/8" horizontal distance between warming drawer cutouts may be
varied. However, maintain at least a 1-1/8" distance to avoid interference between the warming
drawers. Attach a 90-degree elbow to the gas
cooktop inlet pipe and remotely mount the pressure regulator to avoid interference with the
warming drawer. All above-the-countertop clearances must be maintained, as shown in Fig. 1.

Step 3: Unpacking, Moving, Placing
and Anchoring the Cooktop
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.
IMPORTANT
• Verify that the appliance is correct for
the type of gas being provided. Refer to
Step 4 before proceeding with the installation.
• Attach the backguard before sliding the
appliance into the final installed position. See Step 6.
1. Remove the outer carton and packing material
from the shipping base. Ensure that you have
all cooktop components before proceeding.
2. Remove the top grate castings, burner caps
and grill grate (if so equipped) to reduce unit
weight.
3. Lift and place the cooktop in the opening. Be
careful not to pinch the power cord or gas inlet.
Care should be taken not to scratch the griddle
or the griddle frame.
4. Ensure that the power line cord is free and
hanging loose.
5. Level the appliance. For proper performance,
the appliance must be level.
6. The grill frame (if so equipped) has been leveled
during assembly so do not attempt to level the
grill.
7. Replace the top grate castings, burner caps
and grill grate (if so equipped). Ensure that the
burner caps are correctly seated on the burner
bases.
Griddle Tilt Adjustment
Check the griddle frame adjustment by pouring two tablespoons of water on the back of the
griddle plate. The water should slowly roll into the grease tray. If not, adjust the two screws
under the back of the griddle frame. Start with one half turn CCW of the screws. Further
adjustment should be made by one-quarter turn until water slowly flows into the grease tray.
