It is the responsibility of the owner and the installer to determine if additional requirements and/or standards apply to specific installations.

IMPORTANT:

When installing against a combustible surface, a Low Backguard is required. A THERMADOR must be purchased separately. See “STEP 8: Backguard Installation (optional)” on page 20 for backguard and installation information.

When using the Flush Island Trim, THERMADOR recommends a minimum 12'' (305 mm) rear clearance to a combustible surface (see “Installation Clearances” on page 7). 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.

Refer to Table 3, “Backguard Kit Model Numbers,” on page 20, 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 6.

Low Backguard

Check local building codes for the proper method of appliance installation. Installation, electrical connections and grounding must comply with all applicable codes. Local codes vary and ensure installation is in accordance with these codes. In the absence of local codes the appliance should be installed in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/ NFPA 54 current issue and National Electrical Code ANSI/ NFPA 70-current 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.

WARNING

To avoid possible burn or fire hazard, a backguard designed specifically for this range must be installed whenever the range is used.

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.

Installation

Planning Information

Before using your appliance, be sure to read this manual. Pay special attention to the Important Safety Instructions

located at the beginning of the manual.

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.

TOOLS NEEDED

(2) 1/2'' wrenches 1/8'' (3.17 mm) drill bit 3/16'' (4.76 mm) drill bit 12'' adjustable wrench Hand or electric drill Tape measure Phillips & flathead screwdrivers Marking instrument Level Furniture dolly T-20 Torx screwdriver Protective gloves

ITEMS NOT INCLUDED

Drywall/Concrete Anchors Pipe Compound/Tape Rope/Twine ¾'' (19 mm) Flex Line Strain Relief

STEP 1: Ventilation Requirements

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 with all Thermador ranges.

Due to the high heat of the rangetop burners, do not install a microwave oven/ventilator combination above the range, as these types of units do not provide the proper ventilation and are not suitable for use with the range.

NOTICE: Most range hoods contain combustible components which must be considered when planning the

installation.

WARNING

This appliance should not be installed with a ventilation system that directs air in a downward direction toward the range. 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.

Ventilation Preparation

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

overhang the range 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 (See “Installation Clearances” beginning on page 7.).

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.

Installation Instructions English 5

STEP 2: Cabinet Preparation

• The range is a free standing unit. If the unit is to be placed adjacent to cabinets, the clearances shown in “Installation Clearances” on page 7 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.

• The range should not be recessed into the cabinets beyond the edge of the front face of the oven (see clearances beginning on page 8).

• The gas and electrical supply should be within the zones shown in Figure 5 on page 11.

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

• When installing against a combustible surface, a Low Backguard is required. A THERMADOR Low Backguard must be purchased separately (see Table 3, “Backguard Kit Model Numbers,” on page 20).

• When using the Flush Island Trim, THERMADOR recommends a minimum 12'' (305 mm) rear clearance to a combustible surface (see Figure 4, Installation Clearances with Flush Island Trim). 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.

• When the range is installed against a combustible side wall a minimum clearance of 5'' (127 mm) is needed from the side of the range to the wall. (See “Installation Clearances” beginning on page 7.)

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

• The maximum depth of overhead cabinets installed on either side of the hood is 13" (330 mm). Wall cabinets must be 18'' (457 mm) above the countertop (See “Installation Clearances” beginning on page 7.)

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

• 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. (See “Installation Clearances” beginning on page 7.)

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.

NOTE: Canadian models have the power cord supplied with the range.

STEP 3: Unpacking and Moving the Range

Unpacking the Range

1. Remove the outer carton and packing materials from the shipping pallet but leave the adhesive-backed foam layer over brushed-metal surfaces, to protect finish from scratches, until the range is installed in its final position.

2. Remove the door(s) (see “STEP 4: Door Removal and

Adjustment” on page 13); however,

the warming drawer or steam oven doors, if applicable.

This will create an estimated reduction in the weight as

shown in Table 1 and allow the range to pass through 30" (762 mm) doorways (see clearances beginning on page 8).

3. The grates, griddle plate, burner caps, and oven racks must be removed to facilitate handling. Do not remove the griddle element and tray assembly.

DO NOT remove

DO NOT lift the range by the oven door’s

handle, as this may damage the door hinges and cause the door to fit incorrectly.

DO NOT lift the appliance by the range’s control panel.

The unit is heavy and should be handled accordingly. Proper safety equipment such as gloves and adequate manpower of at least two people must be used in moving the range to avoid injury and to avoid damage to the unit or the floor.

Rings, watches, and any other loose items that may damage the unit or otherwise might become entangled with the unit should be removed.

Hidden surfaces may have sharp edges. Use caution when reaching behind or under appliance.

DO NOT use a hand truck or appliance dolly on the back or front of the unit. Handle from the side only.

Due to the weight, it is strongly recommended that a furniture dolly with soft wheels or an air lift should be used to move this unit. The weight must be supported uniformly across the bottom.

All ranges are held to the pallet by (4) bolts through a wood block center. The two front pallet bolts are accessible only after removing the Door Trim located beneath the doors.

1. Remove the door trim by loosening the 2 Torx screws attaching it to the range. Slide the trim up and off the

screws.

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.

NOTICE: All oven knobs and selectors must be set to OFF before powering up the range. To prevent unintended operation at power up, please set all oven knobs to OFF.

To ensure customer safety in the event of power failure, the

unit will display an error message upon reinstatement of power unless all oven knobs are set to OFF. Set all oven knobs to OFF and reset the breaker to clear the message.

Data Rating Label

The data rating label shows the model and serial number of

the range. It is located in the gap created by the right side of the oven cavity and the range side panel (Figure 36).

The electric wiring diagrams and schematics are attached

behind the door trim, and should not be removed except by a service technician, then replaced after service (Figure 36).

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 seconds.

Test Flame: High Setting

Turn burner on to HI. See Figure 37 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. Use caution when handling the burner caps as they may be hot. If flame characteristics do not improve, call THERMADOR.

Test Flame: Simmer Setting

Turn burner on to SIM. 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.

Four rangetop burners, (2) on the left side and (2) on the right, feature the XLO cycle on and off when the knob is set to the XLO range.

This is normal operation.
