Important Installation Information
GAS Type Verification
Verify the type of gas supplied to the location. Ensure that
the appliance is connected to the type of gas for which it is
certified. All models are certified for use with natural gas.
Field conversion of the appliance for use with propane gas
supply will require a conversion kit.
WARNING:
To avoid possible burn or fire hazard, a
backguard designed specifically for this range
must be installed whenever the range is used.
Refer to "Chart C: Backguard Kit Model Numbers" on
page 18, for the correct backguard models that are
designed for this range. After selecting the correct
backguard, the range must be installed properly, using the
minimum clearances to combustible surfaces specified in
"Step 2: Cabinet Preparation" on page 4.
Important:
• A backguard must be utilized when there is less than a
12" horizontal clearance between combustible
materials and the back edge of the range. A
Thermador backguard must be ordered separately and
installed at the rear of the range. (A Low Back is
supplied with the 30" model.) For island installations
and other installations with more than 12" clearance,
an optional stainless steel Island Trim is available to
cover the backguard mounting flanges.
• Verify that the appliance is correct for the type of gas
being provided. Refer to "Step 5: Gas Requirements
and Hookup" on page 11 before proceeding with the
installation.

(34.9 mb) maximum
Electric Power Supply:
See page 13 for specifications.
This appliance has been tested in accordance with ANSI
Z21.1, Standard for Household Cooking Appliances (USA)
and in accordance with CAN 1.1-M81 Domestic Gas
Ranges (Canadian).
It is stronqlv recommended that this appliance be installed
in conjunction with a suitable overhead vent hood. (See
"Step 1: Ventilation Requirements" on page 3.) 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.
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. I/NFPA 54 current
issue and National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70-current

Ranges
Propane Gas - 11 inch water column. (27.4 mb) min.,
14 inch (34.9 mb) maximum
English 2
It is the responsibility of the owner and the installer to
determine if additional requirements and/or standards
apply to specific installations.
Due to the high heat of the cooktop burners, installing a
microwave oven with a ventilation system over the cooktop
is not recommended.
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.
CAUTION:
When connecting the unit to propane gas, make
certain the propane gas tank is equipped with its
own high-pressure regulator in addition to the
pressure regulator supplied with the range. The
maximum gas pressure to this appliance
must not exceed 14.0 inches water column
(34.9 mb) from the propane gas tank to the
pressure regulator.
CAUTION:
This unit is designed as a cooking appliance.
Based on safety considerations, never use it for
warming or heating a room.
Step 1: Ventilation
Requirements
It is stronqly recommended that a suitable exhaust hood be
installed above the range. 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 ranges.
1. Select Hood and Blower Models:
• For wall installations, the hood width must, at a
minimum, equal the width of the range. Where space
permits, a hood larger in width than the range may be
desirable for improved ventilation performance.
For island installations, the hood width should, at a
minimum, overhang the range by 3" 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.
Do not install a microwave oven/ventilator combination
above the range, as these type of units do not provide the
proper ventilation and are not suitable for use with the
range.
2. Hood Placement:
For best smoke elimination, the lower edge of the hood
should be installed 30" above the range cooking
surface. (See Figure 1).
If the hood contains any combustible materials (i.e. a
wood covering), it must be a minimum of 36" above the
cooking surface.
NOTICE:
Most range hoods contain combustible components which
must be considered when planning the installation.
.
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 wall or island hood or custom insert is used with Thermador
Professional Ranges.
Refer to www.Thermador.com for a complete selection of Professional Ventilation options, Blowers, and Accessories.
* For high output gas ranges (60,000 BTU or greater), the minimum of one (1) CFM of ventilation per 100 BTU is
recommended. If the range 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 range by 6" (overlapping
the range by a minimum of 3" on each end).
CFM = "cubic feet per minute" (standard blower capacity rating).

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
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
flared island hood, as indicated in Figure 1.
2. The 36" ranges may be recessed into the cabinets
beyond the edge of the front face of the oven (See
Figure 2).The 30" and 48" ranges are not approved to
be installed flush with the cabinets
,_ CAUTION:
3. The gas and electrical supply should be within the zone
Note:
The maximum depth of over head cabinets installed on
either side of the hood is 13" (330mm).
A 36-inch minimum clearance is required between the top
of the cooking surface and the bottom of an unprotected
cabinet. A 30-inch clearance can be used 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
In these installations, the door and cabinet on
36-inch models can cause a pinching hazard.

flame retardant. Local codes may allow other flame spread
ratings.
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 A and the back edge of
the range above the cooking surface, a Thermador
Low Back or Pot and Pan Shelf must be installed. (See
Figure 2). When clearance to combustible material A
is over 12", a Thermador Island Trim may be used.

Note:
If not already present, install gas shut-off valve in an easily
accessible location. Make sure all users know where and
how to shut off the gas supply to the range.
Note:
The installer should inform the consumer of the location of
the gas shut-off valve.
Note:
Any opening in the wall behind the appliance and any
opening in the floor under the appliance must be sealed.
The dual fuel ranges may be connected to the power
supply with a range supply cord kit 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 electrical connection as dictated
by local codes and ordinances, and/or the National Electric
Figure 3a: Gas & Electrical Supply Locations for Dual Fuel Ranges
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.)
Note:
The range is designed for nearly-flush installation to the
back wall. For a successful installation, it may be
necessary to reposition the gas-supply line and electrical
cord as the range is pushed back to its final position.
SUGGESTION: This may be accomplished by carefully
pulling on a rope or twine looped around the gas or
electrical supply line as the range is pushed back into
its final installed position.

Electrical Supply
Step 3: Unpacking and Moving
Installation of the range must be planned so that the rough-
in of the junction box for the receptacle or conduit
connection will allow maximum clearance to the rear of the
unit.
When the power supply cord or conduit is connected to the
mating receptacle or junction box cover, the combined plug/
receptacle or junction box cover/conduit connector should
protrude no more than 2" from the rear wall. See Figure 3b.
Refer to Figure 9 on page 14 for location of junction box on
unit. To minimize binding when the unit is connected to the
receptacle or junction box, orient the receptacle or conduit
connector, and slide back into position.

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". The grates, griddle plate, burner
caps, front kick panel, and oven racks must be
removed to facilitate handling. Removing the door(s) is
also recommended. (See "Step 8: Door Removal and
Reinstallation" on page 18) This will reduce the weight
as shown in "Chart A" and allow the range to pass
through 30" doorways. See Figure 2 on page 6. Do not
remove the griddle element and tray assembly.
• Remove the outer carton and packing material from the
shipping pallet. The dual fuel ranges are held to the
pallet by four (4) bolts (see Figure 4 and Figure 5). The
two front pallet bolts are accessible only after removing
the Kick Panel. The Kick Panel is removed by two
screws below the lower corners of the oven cavity.
After removing the bolts, the range must be lifted and
removed from the pallet.
Note:
Leave adhesive-backed foam layer over brushed-metal
surfaces, to protect finish from scratches, until the range is
installed in its final position.
Important:
DO NOT lift the range by the oven door's handle, as this
may damage the door hinges and cause the door to fit

• A manual gas shut-off valve must be installed external
to the appliance, in a location accessible from the front,
for the purpose of shutting off the gas supply. The
supply line must not interfere with the back of the unit.
Make sure the gas supply is turned off at the manual
shut-off valve before connecting the appliance.
• The range is supplied with its own pressure regulator
that has been permanently mounted within the range
body.
• Use 3/4" flex line to connect between the gas supply
and the appliance inlet pipe, which exits the upper rear
of the appliance. The appliance pipe connection has a
3/4" NPT external thread and a 1/2" NPT internal
thread. (See Figure 8.) Use caution to avoid crimping
the 3/4" flex line when making bends.
• The gas supply connections shall be made by a
competent technician and in accordance with local
codes or ordinances. In the absence of local codes, the
installation must conform to the National Fuel Gas
Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA54- current issue.
Always use pipe sealing compound or Teflon ® tape on
the pipe threads, and be careful not to apply excessive
force when tightening the fittings.
Leak testing of the appliance shall be in accordance
with the following instructions.
• Turn on gas and check supply line connections for
leaks using a soap and water solution.

Step 7: Backguard Installation
The backguard must be attached before sliding the range
into the final installed position. A Low Back or Pot-and-Pan
Shelf must be installed when there is less than a 12"
clearance between a combustible back wall and the back of
the range above the cooking surface. (See Figure 2 on
page 6).
An Island Trim is available for covering the backguard area
of the range for island installations; however, the Island
Trim can only be used where there is a minimum of 12"
horizontal clearance between a combustible back wall and
the back of the range. (See Figure 2 on page 6).
Align the back panel of accessory with the flange on the
range side panel right and left rear corners. The backguard
is inserted inside the guide channels on the back of the
range. (See Figure 14.)
Make sure the backguard's front face is outside of the
flange at the back of the range.
Install screws through the backguard's front face panel into
the flange on the range. The 30-inch and 36-inch ranges
will use three (3) screws and 48-inch range will use four (4)
screws.
Install four (4) screws to secure the backguard's back panel
to the guide channels on the back of the range. Install one
(1) screw and spacer to center hole location. (See
Figure 14.)

Step 8: Door Removal and
Reinstallation
CAUTION:
USE CAUTION WHEN REMOVING THE
DOOR. THE DOOR IS VERY HEAVY.
• Make sure oven is cool and power to oven
has been turned off before removing the
door. Failure to do so could result in
electrical shock or burns.
• The oven door is heavy and fragile. Use
both hands to remove or replace the door.
• Grasp only the sides of the oven door
when removing or replacing it.
• Failure to grasp the oven door firmly and
properly could result in personal injury and
product damage.
• With the door off, never release the levers
and try to close the hinges. Without the
weight of the door, the powerful springs will
snap the hinges closed with great force.
Photo A: Hinge bracket in closed position
To Remove the Oven Door:
1. Open the door fully and use a screwdriver to pry the
hinge clips away from the hinge slots. (See Photo A.)
2. Flip the hinge clip toward you (see Photo B).
3. Close the door until it stops against the hinge clips. The
open hinge clips will hold the door open at a slight
angle.
4. Grasp the door firmly on the ends of the door handle,
and lift the door up. (There will be some spring
resistance to overcome.) When the door is lifted
sufficient to clear the hinge hooks, the door can be
pulled straight out. (See Photo C.)
5. Place the door in a safe and stable location.
English 18
Photo B: Flip hinge clip toward you
PhotoC:Hingeremovedfrom oven
To Reinstall the Oven Door:
1. Position the door at a slight angle and insert the hinges
into the hinge slots - one on each side of the range.
The hinges will securely hook into the slots when
properly installed. Do not force, bend, or twist the door.
2. Open door all the way to expose hinge clips. Push
hinge clips away from you (toward the oven) until they
meet the hinge.
Tip:
• Rest the door on your foot while using your leg for
stability.
3. Open the door fully and use a screwdriver to push the
hinge clips all the way into the hinge slots. Be careful
not to scratch the range during this process.
To Check Door Fit and Operation:
1. Open and close the door slowly to test the movement
and the fit of the door to the oven cavity. Do not force
the door to open or close. If the door is properly
installed, it should move smoothly and rest straight on
the front of the range when closed.
2. If the door does not operate correctly, verify that the
hinges are properly seated into the hinge slots, and
that the hinge clips are fully engaged into the slots.
Step 9: Placing and Leveling
the Range
For proper performance, the range must be level.
(This is very important for all products that have the
griddle feature.)
The range has four (4) leveling legs that are threaded
into the sheet metal base structure. The range is
leveled by rotating the legs using a 318" socket or a
wrench on the hex flats at the top of each leg, or using
an adjustable wrench on the flats on the sides of the
foot.
Progression of the height adjustments should be
alternated proportionally between the four legs, until
the top edges of the range's side panels are close to
matching the countertop height.
CAUTION"
The top edges of the range's side panels must
be on the same or higher level as the adjacent
countertop. If the range is operated while at a
lower height relative to the adjacent cabinet, the
cabinet could be exposed to excessive
temperatures, causing damage to the cabinet
and countertop. (See Figure 15.)
Final height adjustments of the two rear legs take place
before moving the range into its installed position in the
cabinet.
As the range is moved into its final, installed position,
verify that one of the rear feet has properly engaged
the Anti-Tip Bracket. (See Step 4.) This can be verified
by viewing through the opening near the floor with the
Kick Panel removed.
NOTICE:
Due to their size and weight distribution, the 48" ranges
do not require the use of the Anti-Tip Bracket.
• With the range in the installed position, the final height
adjustments are made to the two front legs to ensure
proper alignment to the countertop.
Note:
It is assumed that the countertop adjacent to the range
has been properly leveled.
After the range is properly leveled, replace the Kick
Panel and reinstall the Oven Door. (See Step 8 for door
installation.) 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.
English 19
Griddle Tilt Adjustment (Not on all models)
Check the griddle 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 (2)

Step 10: Burner Test and
Adjustment
The two rangetop burners on the left side feature XLO that
causes the flame to cycle on and offwhen the knob is set to
the XLO range. This is normal operation.
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 gas shut-off valve to the open position.
Test Rangetop Burners
Test Burner Ignition. Select a rangetop burner knob. Push
down 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 16 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 retest. If flame
characteristics do not improve, call Thermador.
Repeat these Ignition and Flame Test procedures for each
rangetop burner.
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.
Figure 16: Flame Characteristics
Test Flame: Low Setting. Turn burner on to LO. Verify that
the flame travels completely around the burner. This is
known as "carry over." 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.
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.
