It is stalled in conjunction with a suitable overhead vent hood. (See Step 1 for Ventilation Requirements.) 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.

CAUTION

To eliminate risk of burns or fire caused by reaching over heated surface units, cabinet storage located above the surface units should be avoided.

Check local building codes for the proper method of appliance installation. Local codes vary. Installation, electrical connections and grounding must comply with all applicable codes. In the absence of local codes the appliance should be installed in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/FNPA 54 current issue and National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70current issue. In Canada, installation must be in accordance with the CAN 1-B149.1 and .2 – Installation Codes for Gas Burning Appliances and/or local codes.

This appliance is equipped with an intermittent/interrupted ignition device that cycles the two far left surface burners on and off when in the ExtraLow

setting.

Step 1: Ventilation Requirements

It is strongly recommended that a suitable exhaust hood be installed above the range. Downdraft ventilation should not be used. The table below indicates the Thermador hoods, by model number, that are recommended for use with all ranges.

1. Select Hood and Blower Models:

• For wall installations, the hood width must, at a minimum, equal the width of the range 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 range cooking surface by 6" on each side.

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.

• Hood blower speeds should be variable to reduce noise and loss of heated or air conditioned household air when maximum ventilation is not required. Normally, the maximum blower speed is only required when using the grill.

2. Hood Placement:

• For best smoke elimination, the lower edge of the hood should be installed a minimum of 30" to a maximum of 36" above the range cooking surface. (See Fig. 1).

• If the hood contains any combustible materials (i.e. a wood covering), it must be a minimum of 36" 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.

use a hood that is wider than the range cooking surface. This may be particularly beneficial for those cases, such as a long duct run or heavy usage of the grill, in which improved capturing of the cooking exhaust is desired.

** Thermador offers a choice of remote (VTR1000Q or VTR1400Q) or in-hood (VTN1000Q) blowers for use in wall installations.

Step 2: Cabinet Preparation

1. The range is a free standing unit. If the unit is to be placed adjacent to cabinets, the clearances shown in Fig. 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 flared island hood, as indicated in Fig. 1.

2. The 36" ranges may be recessed into the cabinets beyond the edge of the front face of the oven (See Figures 2A and 2B). The 30" and 48" ranges are not approved to be installed flush with the cabinets.

Caution

In these installations, the door and cabinet on 36-inch models can cause a pinching hazard.

3. The gas and electrical supply should be within the zones shown in Fig. 3A.

4. Any openings in the wall behind the range and in the floor under the range must be sealed.

5. When there is less than a 12" horizontal clearance between combustible material and the back edge of the range above the cooking surface, a Thermador Low Back or High Shelf backguard must be installed. (See Fig. 2A). When clearance to combustible material is over 12", a Thermador Island Trim may be used. (See Fig. 2B). Figures 2A and 2B indicate the space required for each type of backguard.

6. Always keep appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.

7. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air to the unit.

Note: The maximum depth of over head cabinets installed on either side of the hood is 13".

A 36-inch minimum clearance is required between the top of the range and the bottom of an unprotected cabinet. A 30-inch minimum distance is necessary when the bottom of the wood or metal cabinet is protected by not less than 1/4 inch of a flame retardant material covered with not less than No. 28 MSG sheet steel, 0.015 inch (0.4 mm) thick stainless steel,

0.024 inch (0.6 mm) aluminum, or 0.020 inch (0.5 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.

The All Gas ranges may be connected to the power supply with a range supply cord (supplied with range) or by hard-wiring to the power supply. It is the responsibility of the installer to provide the proper wiring components (cord or conduit and wires) and complete the gas connection as dictated by local codes and ordinances, and/or the National Electric Code. The units must be properly grounded. Refer to Step 6 for details.

The range must be connected only to the type of gas for which it is certified. If the range is to be

connected to propane gas, ensure that the propane gas supply tank is equipped with its own high pressure regulator in addition to the pressure regulator supplied with the range. (See STEP 5.)

IMPORTANT:

The cord supplied with gas ranges having electric griddle (PG364GE, PG486GE, and PG484GGE) requires a NEMA 5-20 receptacle, shown here. Local codes may require a different wiring method.

IMPORTANT

For all gas range models with electric griddle (PG364GE, PG486GE, and PG484GGE), dedicated 20 Amp service is required for proper operation.

Step 3: Unpacking, Moving and Placing the Range

Caution

Proper equipment and adequate manpower must be used in moving the range to avoid injury, and to avoid damage to the unit or the floor. The unit is heavy and should be handled accordingly.

• The range has an approximate shipping weight as shown in Chart A. It is recommended that the grates, griddle plate and frame, burner caps, front kick panel and oven racks be removed to facilitate handling. This will reduce the weight as shown in Chart A and allow the range to pass through 30" doorways. See Figs. 2A and 2B on Page 6. Do not remove the

grill or griddle assemblies.

FIG. 4 – Removal of Two Front Shipping Bolts

FIG. 5 – Removal of Two Rear Shipping Bolts

Left Rear Shipping Bolt

• Remove the outer carton and packing material from the shipping base. The all gas ranges are held to the skid by four (4) bolts (see Fig. 4 and 5). After removing the bolts the range must be lifted and removed from the skid.

• Remove angle-mounting brackets from range. This requires the installer to remove two screws holding each bracket then remove bracket and reinstall screws.

Step 3: Unpacking, Moving and Placing the Range

• Due to the weight, a dolly with soft wheels should be used to move this unit. The weight must be supported uniformly across the bottom (See Fig. 6).

• After transporting the professional range by dolly close to its final location, the range can be tipped back and supported on the rear legs while the dolly is carefully removed. THE

FLOOR UNDER THE LEGS SHOULD BE PROTECTED (WOOD STRIPS, CARPET, PANELING, ETC.) BEFORE PUSHING THE UNIT INTO POSITION. The anti-tip device

must be installed (STEP 4), gas and electrical connections should be made (STEPS 5 and

6), and the backguard installed (STEP 7) before the range is placed in its final position.

• For proper performance, the professional range must be level. (It is very important for all products that have the griddle feature.) The range is leveled by adjusting the legs with a wrench.

FIG. 6- Dolly Positioning

• Replace the kick panel and install the oven door. To install door, see Page 16. Do not

install the oven door until the range is in its final location. It is important that the two (2) screws retaining the kick panel are secure to prevent accidental access to hot surfaces.

• Ensure that the burner caps are correctly seated on the burner bases of the range's cooktop.

Griddle Tilt Adjustment

Check the griddle frame adjustment by pouring two tablespoons of water on the back of the griddle plate. The water should slowly roll into the grease tray. If not, adjust the two screws under the back of the griddle frame. Start with one half turn CCW of the screws. Further adjustment should be made by one-quarter turn until water slowly flows into the grease tray.

Step 4: Installing Anti-Tip Device

For all 30" and 36" ranges, an anti-tip device must be installed as per these instructions.

WARNING

RANGE TIPPING HAZARD

• All ranges can tip and injury can result. To prevent accidental tipping of the range, attach it to the floor, wall or cabinet by installing the Anti-Tip Device supplied.

• A risk of tip-over may exist if the appliance is not installed in accordance with these instructions.

• If the range is pulled away from the wall for cleaning, service or any other reason, ensure that the Anti-Tip Device is properly reengaged when the range is pushed back against the wall. In the event of abnormal usage (such as a person standing, sitting, or leaning on an open door), failure to take this precaution can result in tipping of the range. Personal injury might result from spilled hot liquids or from the range itself.
