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.

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 qualied 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.
