Installation
Planning Information
Before using your appliance, be sure to read this manual.
Pay special attention to the Important Safety Instructions
located at the beginning of the manual.
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.
Safety Codes and Standards
It is the responsibility of the owner and the installer to
determine if additional requirements and/or standards
apply to specific installations.
Refer to the Ventilation Planning Guide for approved
ventilation combinations.
It is strongly recommended that this appliance be installed
in conjunction with a THERMADOR vent hood. 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.
Downdraft ventilation should not be used. The Ventilation Planning Guide indicates the ventilation hood options and
blower capacity guidelines that are recommended for use
with all THERMADOR® ranges.
Due to the high heat of the rangetop burners, installing a
microwave oven with a ventilation system over the
rangetop is not recommended.
NOTICE: Most ventilation hoods contain combustible
components which must be considered when planning the
installation.
1. Select Hood and Blower Models:
•For wall installations, the hood width must, at a
minimum, equal the width of the rangetop. Where
space permits, a hood larger in width than the
rangetop may be desirable for improved ventilation
performance.
•For island installations, the hood width should
overhang the rangetop by a minimum of 3" (76
mm) on each side.
2. Hood Placement:
•For best smoke elimination, the lower edge of the
hood should be installed 30" (762 mm) above the
rangetop cooking surface.
•Use a 36" (914 mm) minimum clearance if the
hood contains any combustible materials such as a
wood covering (see Figure 1 on page 7).
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.
9 WARNING
This appliance should not be installed with a ventilation
system that directs air in a downward direction toward
the range. This type of ventilation system may cause
ignition and combustion problems with the appliance
resulting in personal injury, property damage, or
unintended operation. Ventilating systems that direct the
air upwards do not have any restriction.
Installation Instructions English | 5 |
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 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 island hood.
3. The rangetop is designed to hang from the countertop
by its side flanges. The countertop however, must be
strong enough to support this rangetop. It may be
necessary to add a supporting cleat along each side
(see Figure 2) or a 2 x 4 corner brace (see Figure 3
and Figure 4 and Detail A). Another alternative would
be to construct a deck to set the rangetop on.
4. The rangetop can be installed in various positions with
the front either flush or projecting, depending on the
countertop’s depth. (See Figure 5, side view of
rangetop; see Figure 3, Figure 4, Figure 6 and Figure 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
rangetop. The appliance electrical power cord and gas
pipe connection are located as shown in Figure 5 and
Figure 10, respectively.
6. When installing against a combustible surface, a Low
Back guard is required. A THERMADOR Low Back
guard must be purchased separately (see “STEP 6: Backguard Installation” on page 13).
7. When using the Flush Island Trim, THERMADOR®
recommends a minimum 12'' (305 mm) rear clearance
to a combustible surface (see Figure 1, Clearance Requirements). Clearances from non-combustible
materials are not part of the ANSI Z21.1 scope and are
not certified by CSA. Clearances of less than 12''
(305 mm) must be approved by the local codes and/or
by the local authority having jurisdiction.
8. When the rangetop is installed against a combustible
side wall a minimum clearance of 5'' (127 mm) is
needed from the side of the rangetop to the wall.
9. The maximum depth of over head cabinets installed on
either side of the hood is 13" (330 mm). Wall cabinets
must be 18'' (457 mm) above the countertop.
10. There is a 36'' (914 mm) minimum clearance required
between the top of the cooking surface and the bottom
of an unprotected cabinet. A 30'' (762 mm) clearance
can be used when the bottom of the wood or metal
cabinet is protected by not less than 1/4'' (6 mm) of a
flame retardant material covered with not less than No.
28 MSG sheet steel, 0.015'' (0.38 mm) thick stainless
steel, 0.024'' (0.61 mm) aluminum, or 0.02'' (0.51 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 (FIame Spread/
Smoke Developed).” Materials with “O” flame spread
ratings are flame retardant. Local codes may allow
other flame spread ratings. It is the responsibility of the
installer to ensure installation is in accordance with
these ratings.
11. Establish the centerline of the rangetop’s desired
location. It should be the same as the center of the
overhead ventilation hood.
12. Cut the openings for the following installations:
•Wall installation, see Figure 3.
•Island installation, see Figure 4.
13. For installation of a 48" rangetop above two side-byside THERMADOR® warming drawers (WD24), refer
to Figure 8. Completing the installation as per Figure 8
will result in the left and right edges of the rangetop
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 1⅞'' (48 mm)
horizontal distance between warming drawer cutouts
may be varied. However, maintain at least a 1⅛''
(29 mm) distance to avoid interference between the
warming drawers. Attach a 90-degree elbow to the gas
rangetop inlet pipe. All above-the-countertop
clearances must be maintained, as shown in Figure 1.
NOTES:
•If a solid side cabinet wall exists on one or both sides,
you will need to notch the front corner of the cabinet to
match the countertop notch and to allow clearance for
the rangetop front (see Detail A, Figure 3 and
Figure 4).
•If a supporting deck is used, the sides or bottom of the
cutout may be solid combustible or non-combustible
material. If the bottom is solid, provide a 12" by 12"
(305 x 305 mm) cutout in the left rear corner of the
supporting deck. This will provide clearance for the gas
inlet and power cord.
•Always keep appliance area clean and free from
combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable
vapors and liquids.
•Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation
air to the unit.

servicing the appliance.
•Before you plug in an electrical cord, be sure all
controls are in the OFF position.
•All 120 Volt rangetop models must be plugged into a
mating 3-Prong, Grounding-Type Receptacle. The
receptacle must be connected to a properly dedicated
grounded and polarized electrical power supply rated
at 120VAC, Single Phase, 60HZ (see Figure 11).
9 CAUTION
Improper grounding or reverse polarization will cause
malfunction (such as continuous sparking of the burner
igniters). This can damage the appliance and can create
a condition of shock hazard. If the dedicated circuit is not
correctly grounded and polarized, it is the responsibility
and obligation of the installer and user to have the
existing receptacle changed to a properly dedicated
grounded and polarized receptacle. This must be
accomplished in accordance with all applicable local
codes and ordinances by a qualified electrician. In the
absence of local codes and ordinances, the receptacle
replacement shall be in accordance with the National
Electric Code. (See Figure 11.)

Grounding Method
The rangetop is factory equipped with a power supply cord
with a three-prong grounding plug (with polarized parallel
blades).
This product must be properly grounded.
Clearances from non-combustible materials are not part of
the ANSI Z21.1 scope and are not certified by
CSA. Clearances of less than 12'' (305 mm) must be
approved by the local codes and/or by the local authority
having jurisdiction.
Attach the backguard before sliding the appliance into the
final installed position. Follow Steps A through E below:
a. Depending on model, remove the 2 or 3 stainless Torx
screws in the front face of the included Flush Island
Trim. Lift up to fully remove the Flush Island Trim (A,
Figure 12).
b. Slide the support brackets between the two rangetop
chassis back panels. Secure each bracket with 4 x 1½''
(38 mm) screws (B, Figure 12).
c. Slide backguard over the two brackets on the rear of
the rangetop. Fasten them together with 8 x 1½''
(38 mm) screws (C, Figure 12).
d. Fasten the front of the backguard to the rangetop with
2 or 3 x ½'' (12.7 mm) screws (D, Figure 12).
e. Place the backguard cap on top and secure using 2 x
½'' (12.7 mm) stainless screws (E, Figure 12).
NOTE: Plug styles may vary.

STEP 7: Burner Test
Install any loose components, such as burner caps and
grates that may have been removed earlier. Be certain that
burner caps seat properly into the burner bases. Before
testing operation of the appliance, verify that the unit and
the gas supply have been carefully checked for leaks and
that the unit has been connected to the electrical power
supply. Turn the manual gas shut-off valve to the open
position.
Test Rangetop Burners
Yellow Flames:
Further Adjustment is
required.
Yellow Tips on Outer
Cones:
Normal for LP Gas
Soft Blue Flames:
Normal for Natural Gas
Test Burner Ignition. Select a rangetop burner knob.
Push in and turn counterclockwise to HI. The ignitor/spark
module will produce a clicking sound. Once the air has
been purged from the supply lines, the burner should light
within four (4) seconds.
Test Flame: High Setting. Turn burner on to HI. See
Figure 13 for appropriate flame characteristics. If any of the
rangetop burners continue to burn mostly or completely
yellow, verify that the burner cap is positioned properly on
the burner base, then re-test. If flame characteristics do not
improve, call THERMADOR service.
Test Flame: Low Setting. Turn burner on to LOW. Verify
that the flame completely surrounds the burner. There
should be a flame at each burner port and there should be
no air gap between the flame and the burner. If any burners
do not carry over, call THERMADOR service.
The two far left burners feature XLO®, causing the flame to
cycle on and off when the knob is set to the XLO range.
This is normal operation.
If the flame is completely or mostly yellow, verify that the
regulator is set for the correct fuel. After adjustment,
retest.
Some orange-colored streaking is normal during the
initial start-up.
Allow unit to operate 4-5 minutes and re-evaluate before
making adjustments.
Figure 13: Flame Characteristics
Repeat the Ignition and Flame Test procedures described
above for each rangetop burner.
WHEN FLAME IS PROPERLY ADJUSTED:
•There should be a flame at each burner port.
•There should be no air gap between the flame and
burner port.
Call THERMADOR service if:
1. Any of the burners do not light.
2. Any of the burners continue to burn yellow.
