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.

TOOLS NEEDED

Phillips screwdriver T-20 Torx screwdriver Jigsaw 12'' adjustable wrench Level Tape measure Protective gloves Marking instrument

ITEMS NOT INCLUDED

3/4'' (19 mm) Flex Line Pipe Compound/Tape

STEP 1: Ventilation Requirements

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.

• Before installing, turn power OFF at the service panel. Lock service panel to prevent power from being turned ON accidentally. Always disconnect appliance from the electric supply either by disconnecting power cord or shutting off the breaker at the service panel before 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.)

• Power cord and receptacle should protrude no more than 2'' (51 mm) from the rear wall.

• An electrical wiring diagram and schematic have been attached to the back of the rangetop chassis for access by a qualified service technician. DO NOT remove or discard this important information.

• Installer - show the owner the location of the circuit breaker. Mark it for easy reference.

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.
