Ventilation Requirements
WARNING
This appliance should not be installed with a
ventilation system that directs air in a downward
direction toward the appliance. 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.
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.
Due to the high heat of the rangetop burners, installing a
microwave oven with a ventilation system over the
rangetop is not recommended on anything other than the
30'' 5–Burner. Refer to OTR manufacturer’s installation
manual for clearances.
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.
NOTICE: Most range hoods contain combustible
components which must be considered when planning the
installation.
Ventilation Preparation
1. Select Hood and Blower Models:
• For wall installations, the hood width must, at a
minimum, equal the width of the range/rangetop.
Where space permits, a hood larger in width than
the range/rangetop may be desirable for
improved ventilation performance.
• For island installations, the hood width should
overhang the width of the range/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
range cooking surface.
• If the hood contains any combustible materials
(i.e. a wood covering), it must be installed a
minimum of 36" (914 mm) 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.
Page. 6
Installation Clearances
• To ensure professional results, the cabinet and
countertop openings should be prepared by a
qualified cabinet worker.
• The same clearances apply to island installations,
except for the overhead cabinets, which must have a
space wide enough to accept the island hood.
• See the Ventilation Planning Guide for recommended
hood options. Due to the high heat of the burners,
installing a microwave oven with a ventilation system
over the appliance is not recommended on anything
other than the 30'' 5–Burner. Refer to the OTR
manufacturer’s installation manual for clearances.
• The rangetop is designed to hang from the
countertop by its flanges. The countertop however,
must be strong enough to support this rangetop. It
may be necessary to add a supporting cleat along
each side or a 2 x 4 corner brace (see page 10).
Another alternative would be to construct a deck to
set the rangetop on.
• The rangetop can be installed in various positions with
the front either flush or projecting, depending on the
countertop’s depth. See page 11 for alternate
mounting positions.
• The gas and electrical supply must be located in an
area that is accessible without requiring removal of the
rangetop.
• The shaded area behind the appliance indicates an
opportunity to discolor the back wall under certain
cooking conditions.
• There must be a minimum of 5'' (127 mm) side
clearance from the appliance to combustible vertical
surfaces above the 36'' (914 mm) counter height.
• Within the 5'' (127 mm) side clearance to combustible
vertical surfaces above 36'' (91.4 cm), the maximum
wall cabinet depth must be 13'' (330 mm).
• Wall cabinets within this 5'' (127 mm) side clearance
must be 18'' (45.7 cm) above the 36'' (914 mm) high
countertop.
• 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.
• Establish the centerline of the appliance’s desired
location. It should be the same as the center of the
overhead ventilation hood.
• Cut the openings for the following installations:
• Wall installation, see page 10.
• Island installation, see page 10.
REAR CLEARANCE REQUIREMENTS:
• To avoid staining on the back wall, high temperature,
non-porous construction materials suitable for use in a
cooking environment are recommended.
• Models PCG305xx, PRD305xx, and PRD606xx are
suitable for 0'' rear clearance to combustible surfaces.
• All Other Models:
• When using the included Island Trim a minimum
6" (152 mm)* rear clearance is required to a
combustible surface*.
• When installing against a combustible surface, a
Thermador
®
Low Backguard is required for a 0''
rear clearance to the combustible surface. A
Thermador Low Backguard must be purchased
separately.
• A rear clearance to a surface covered in a noncombustible material (metal, ceramic tile, brick,
marble, or stone)*
' is 0'' when using the included
Island Trim.
*Clearances of less than 6'' (152 mm) should be approved by the
local codes and/or by the local authority having jurisdiction.
' Clearances from non-combustible materials are not part of the
ANSI Z21.1 scope and are not certified by CSA.
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, page 10).
• If a supporting deck is used, the sides or bottom of
the cutout may be solid combustible or noncombustible material. If the bottom is solid, provide a
12'' by 12'' (305 mm 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.

gas ranges having an electric
griddle or grill requires a
NEMA 5-20 receptacle. All
other gas units require a
NEMA 5-15 receptacle.
WARNING
Electrical Grounding Instructions
This appliance is equipped with a three-prong
grounding plug for your protection against shock
hazard and should be plugged directly into a properly
grounded receptacle. DO NOT cut or remove the
grounding prong from this plug.
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.
• Before you plug in an electrical cord, be sure all
controls are in the OFF position.
• A neutral supply wire must be provided from the
power source (breaker) because critical range
components, including the surface burner spark
reignition modules, require it to operate safely and
properly.
• All 120 Volt models must be plugged into a mating 3Prong, Grounding-Type Receptacle. The receptacle
must be connected to a properly dedicated grounded
and polarized electrical power supply rated at
120VAC, Single Phase, 60Hz.
• Observe all governing codes and ordinances when
grounding. In the absence of these codes or
ordinances observe National Electrical Code ANSI/
NFPA No. 70 current issue, or the relevant Canadian
Electric Code, CSA C22.1-02.

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.
Burner Cap Placement
Each cap has a letter (B, D, or F) cast in the underside of
the cap that corresponds to a letter (B, D, or F) cast in the
burner base that is attached to the appliance.
• Place each burner cap on its correct burner base per
its corresponding letter designation. See figure below.
• Place burner cap gently on top of base so that the
prongs of the burner base fit snugly into the groove of
the burner cap.
The burner caps must be properly placed on the burner
bases for the rangetop to function properly. If the burner
cap is not properly placed, one or more of the following
problems may occur:
• Burner flames are too high.
• Flames shoot out of burners.
• Burners do not ignite.
• Burner flames light unevenly.
• Burner emits gas odor.
WARNING
To prevent flare-ups and avoid the creation of harmful
by-products, do not use the rangetop without all
burner caps and all burner grates properly positioned.
WARNING
To prevent burns, do not touch burner caps or grates
while hot. Turn the rangetop off and allow the burners
to cool.
Checking Burner Cap Placement
• Check each burner to make sure there is no gap
between the burner cap and burner base. See figures
below for correct and incorrect burner cap placement
to see examples of the burner cap.
• You may gently try to move the burner caps from side
to side to check if the caps are properly placed on the
burner bases. When properly placed, each burner cap
will rest flat on top of its burner base, and completely
cover the star-shape of the burner base when viewed
from the top as shown in the figures.
Burner Grate Placement
Ensure the burner grates are properly placed on the
rangetop before using the surface burners. The grates are
designed to rest inside the recess on the rangetop.
To install burner grates, place grates flat-side down and
align into the rangetop recess. Grates should rest flush
against each other and against the sides of the recess.

Test Rangetop Burners
Test Burner Ignition. Select a rangetop burner knob. Push
in and turn counterclockwise to HI. The igniter 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
figures below 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 burners that feature XLO
®
, cause the flame to cycle
on and off when the knob is set to the XLO function. This
is normal operation.
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:
• Any of the burners do not light.
• Any of the burners continue to burn yellow.
Flame Characteristics
Yellow Flames:
Further adjustment is
required.
Yellow Tips on Outer Cones:
Normal for LP Gas
Soft Blue Flames:
Normal for Natural Gas
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.
