Step 1: Ventilation Requirements

It is strongly recommended that a suitable exhaust hood be installed above the appliance. Downdraft ventilation should not be used. The table on page 4 indicates the ventilation hood options and blower capacity guidelines that are recommended for use with all THERMADOR rangetops.

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.

Due to the high heat of the rangetop burners, installing a microwave oven with a ventilation system over the rangetop is not recommended.

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.

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 6).

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.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

• It is recommended that a THERMADOR PROFESSIONAL THERMADOR PROFESSIONAL rangetops.

• Refer to www.thermador.com for a complete selection of ventilation options, blowers, and accessories.

• For high output gas rangetops (60,000 BTU or greater), the minimum of one (1) CFM of ventilation per 100 BTU is recommended. If the rangetop has a griddle, add 200 CFM to the estimated blower capacity. Additional blower capacity may be required for longer duct runs.

• For island applications, it is recommended to use a hood width that exceeds the width of the rangetop by 6” (152 mm), overlapping the rangetop by 3” (76 mm) on each end.

• **Not all 48” Pro Wall Hood models can accommodate a 1300 CFM blower.

• CFM = “cubic feet per minute” (standard blower capacity rating).

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 on the left rear underside of the rangetop, as shown in Figure 5 and Figure 9.

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).

English 4

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 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 1 horizontal distance between warming drawer cutouts may be varied. However, maintain at least a 1ǩ” (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.

Ǭ” (48 mm)

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.

WARNING:

DO NOT block or obstruct the flow of air

through the ventilation openings. The vent is located at the back of the appliance. The vent needs to be unobstructed and open to provide necessary airflow that is important for proper performance.

Low Back Vent

DO NOT touch vent area while the appliance is on and for several minutes after the appliance is off. Some parts of the vent and surrounding areas become hot enough to cause burns. Allow appliance sufficient time to cool before touching or cleaning vent areas.

DO NOT position plastic or other heatsensitive items on or near the vent. These items could melt or ignite.

Step 5: Electrical Requirements, Connection and Grounding

• 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.

Grounding Method

WARNING:

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

To avoid the risk of electrical shock, personal injury or death; verify electrical power is turned off at the service panel and gas supply is turned off until the rangetop is installed and ready to operate.

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 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 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.)

• 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 grounded and polarized electrical power supply rated at 120VAC, Single Phase, 60HZ. See “Electrical Power Supply Over-current Protection Requirements” for proper overcurrent protection requirements for each model.

• 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. See Figure 11 for recommended grounding method.

The rangetop is factory equipped with a power supply cord with a three-prong grounding plug (with polarized parallel blades).
