FEATURES & BENEFITS

OUR EXCLUSIVE, PATENTED STAR® BURNER

The Star Burner’s unique shape isn’t just for show. It creates a perimeter 56% longer than a round burner of the same size, which allows the inclusion of more ame ports. The result is a burner that delivers superior ame spread and a reduced cold spot for faster and more even heating across any size pan. And this latest generation features a more stylish shape and a raised pedestal design for easier cleaning than ever before.

QUICKCLEAN BASE

Raised pedestal burner and porcelain maintop have been crafted for perfect integration and easy cleanup. A hand and sponge t easily under each burner to wipe the surface clean and a teardrop emboss reduces food buildup near the base.

EXTRALOW

Our ExtraLow feature provides the widest variety of temperature control of any simmer system. It cycles the Star Burner on and off to maintain temperatures as low as 100°. Perfect for simmering delicate sauces or keeping food warm without scorching or stirring. Each and every Thermador Pro Rangetop features two ExtraLow burners.

18,000 BTU/HR ON EVERY BURNER

Delivers superior cooking exibility by offering maximum heat output on every burner. Leading competitors offer only one or two powerful burners.

The Star Burner’s coverage area allows for more ports and more ame distribution than a round burner.

35 ports / 16 3/4" perimeter

28 ports / 10

The design of the Star Burner offers greater heat coverage, and a smaller cold spot, making it ideal for any pan size.

GAS REQUIREMENTS AND HOOKUP

Rangetops are shipped by the factory to operate on natural gas. They must be converted for use with propane. Verify that the type of gas being used at the installation site matches the type of gas used by the appliance. If the location / job site requires conversion from natural gas to propane (LP), order PALPKITHC. Field conversion must be done by qualied service personnel only. Please refer to the LP Conversion Instructions for further information.

A manual gas shut-off valve must be installed external to the appliance, in a location accessible from the front, for the purpose of shutting off the gas supply. The supply line must not interfere with the back of the unit.

VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS

We strongly recommend that a Thermador Professional® Wall or Island Hood or Custom Insert be installed with all Thermador Professional Downdraft ventilation should not be used. Do not install a microwave-hood combination above the rangetop, as these types of units do not provide the proper ventilation and are not suitable for use with Thermador Professional

Rangetops.

For high output gas cooktops or rangetops (60,000 BTU or greater), the minimum of one (1) CFM of ventilation per 100 BTU is recommended. If the cooktop or rangetop has a grill or griddle, add 150 CFM to the estimated blower capacity. Additional blower capacity may be required for longer duct runs.

The following table indicates the ventilation hood options and blower capacity guidelines that are recommended for use with Thermador Professional

Rangetops. Refer to the Ventilation section or www.Thermador. com for a complete selection of Professional ventilation options, blowers, and accessories.

IMPORTANT VENTILATION NOTES:

• Due to high surface temperature output, the HPWB Professional Series Wall

Hoods or the Professional Custom Inserts are recommended ventilation solutions for these rangetops. The PH Professional Series Wall Hoods are also a viable option.

• 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 minimum, overhang the

appliance cooking surface by 3" on each side.

• Due to the high heat capability of these rangetops, particular attention

should be paid to the hood and duct work installation to assure it meets local building codes.

• For best smoke elimination, the lower edge of the hood should be installed

30" above the appliance cooking surface.

• If the hood contains any combustible materials (i.e., a wood covering), it

must be 36"or greater distance above the cooking surface.
