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.
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 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 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
overhang the range cooking surface by a minimum of
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 installed a minimum of 40"
above the cooking surface.
It is the responsibility of the owner and the installer to
determine if additional requirements and/or standards
apply to specific installations.
NOTICE:
Most range hoods contain combustible components which
must be considered when planning the installation.
English 3
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 wall or island hood or custom insert is used with Thermador
Professional Ranges.
The HPWB Professional Series Wall Hoods or the Professional Series Custom Inserts are recommended ventilation
solutions for these ranges. The PH Professional Series Wall Hoods are also a viable option, however the 27” depth of
the PH series may not be suitable to all applications.
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).
**Not all 48” Pro Wall Hood models can accommodate a 1,300 CFM blower option.
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. These ranges may be recessed into the cabinets
beyond the edge of the front face of the oven (See
Figure 2 and Figure 3b).
3. The gas and electrical supply should be within the
Note:
The maximum depth of over head cabinets installed on
either side of the hood is 13".
A 40-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

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.
Note:
Canadian models have power cord supplied with range.
Note:
When using a 240VAC receptacle having its own housing,
it will be necessary to recess the receptacle's housing into
the rear wall. Mount the receptacle securely to a wall stud,
then seal around the receptacle's housing. Follow all local
electrical codes.
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
Code. The units must be properly grounded. Refer to Step
6 for details. Canadian models have power cord supplied.
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 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.

Griddle Tilt Adjustment (Not All Models)
If the range is equipped with an electric griddle, 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 frame. Start with one half turn
counterclockwise (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 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,
