Important Installation Information

GAS Type Verification

Verify that the appliance is correct for the type of gas provided at installation location. Ensure that the appliance is connected to the type of gas for which it is certified. Before proceeding with the installation refer to “Step 6: Gas

Requirements and Hookup” on page 14.

All models are certified for use with natural gas. Field conversion of the appliance for use with propane gas supply will require installation of conversion kit supplied with the range (service number 553182). Only a qualified service technician or installer should make this conversion. See LP

Conversion Kit Instruction for full installation information.

IMPORTANT:

When installing against a combustible surface, a High Shelf or Low Backguard is required. A THERMADOR® High Shelf or Low Backguard must be purchased separately.

See Step 8 on page 19 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 Figure 1, Cabinet Clearances).

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.

Gas Supply:

Natural Gas – 6” water column (14.9 mb) min., 14” (34.9 mb) maximum

Propane Gas – 11” water column (27.4 mb) min., 14” (34.9 mb) maximum

Electric Power Supply:

See “Step 7: Electrical Requirements, Connection & Grounding” on page 16 for specifications.

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 it is the responsibility of the installer to 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.

Refer to “Backguard Kit Model Numbers” on page 24, 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.

It is strongly 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.

CAUTION:

When connecting the unit to propane gas, make certain the propane gas tank is equipped with its own highpressure regulator in addition to the pressure regulator supplied with the range. The maximum gas pressure to this appliance must not exceed 14.0” 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.

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 below 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 type of units do not provide the proper ventilation and are not suitable for use with the range.

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 range 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 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" (76mm) on each side.

2. Hood Placement:

•For best smoke elimination, the lower edge of the hood should be installed 30" (762mm) above the range cooking surface. Use a 36" (914mm) minimum clearance if the hood contains any combustible materials such as a wood covering (Figure 1 on

page 5).

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. Refer to www.thermador.com for a complete selection of 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” (152mm), overlapping the range by a minimum of 3” (76mm) on each end.

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

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

“Cabinet Clearances” on page 5 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

Figure 2 on page 6).

•The gas and electrical supply should be within the zones shown in Figure 3 on page 7.

•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 High Shelf or Low Backguard is required. A THERMADOR® High Shelf or Low Backguard must be purchased separately (“Backguard Kit Model Numbers” on

page 24).

•When using the Flush Island Trim, THERMADOR recommends a minimum 12” (305 mm) rear clearance to a combustible surface (see Figure 1, Cabinet

Clearances). 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” (127mm) is needed from the side of the range to the wall.

•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" (330mm).

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

There is a 36” (914mm) minimum clearance required between the top of the cooking surface and the bottom of an unprotected cabinet. A 30” (762mm) clearance can be used when the bottom of the wood or metal cabinet is protected by not less than 1/4” (6mm) 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.

NOTICE:

--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.

--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 Code. The units must be properly grounded. Refer to

“Step 7: Electrical Requirements, Connection & Grounding” on page 16 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 6: Gas Requirements and Hookup” on page 14).

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.

English 7

Electrical Supply

Installation of the range must be planned so that the roughin of the terminal block 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 terminal block cover, the combined connection should protrude no more than 2” (51mm) from the rear wall (see Figure 4).

Refer to Figure 15 on page 16 for location of the terminal block on unit. To minimize binding when the unit is connected, orient the receptacle or conduit connector, and slide back into position.

Step 3: Unpacking and Moving

the Range

CAUTION:

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.

CAUTION:

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

The range has an approximate shipping weight as shown in

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

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 Reinstallation” on page 10); however, do not remove the warming drawer or steam oven doors. This will create an estimated reduction in the weight as shown in “Chart A” and allow the range to pass through 30"

(762mm) doorways (see clearances shown on page 6).

Step 4: Door Removal and Reinstallation

CAUTION:

•USE CAUTION WHEN REMOVING THE DOOR. THE DOOR IS VERY HEAVY.

•Make sure oven is cool and power to the 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.

•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.

To Remove the Oven Door:

1.Open the door fully and use a screwdriver to carefully pry the hinge clips away from the hinge slots (Photo A).

2.Flip the hinge clip toward you (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 (Photo C). Place the door in a safe and stable location.

Photo A

English 10

To Reinstall the Oven Door:

1.Position the door at a sharp angle (see Figure 8) and insert the hinges centered evenly into the hinge slots.

The hinges will securely hook into the slots when properly installed. Do not force, bend, or twist the door.

•Tip: Rest the door on your foot while using your leg for stability.

2.Open the door fully and use a screwdriver to push the hinge clips all the way into the hinge slots (toward the oven) until they meet the hinge. Be careful not to scratch the range during this process.

3. For large and small ovens, if door or handle appears slightly tilted, you may adjust the hinge receiver by rotating the large Torx-head screw located directly above the hinge receiver with a T-20 Torx driver. Rotate each screw respective to its side and direction the door needs to be adjusted (Figure 10).

Figure 8: Approximate Door Angle for Removal

To Check Door Fit and Adjustment:

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.

Turn this screw to adjust door alignment.

English 11

Adjusting the Leveling Legs

The range must be level for proper alignment of the oven doors. All models have a total of (4) leveling legs, one beneath each corner, that are threaded into the cast aluminum base structure (see Figure 9 on page 11).

--Rotating the right front leveling leg clockwise will raise the right corner of the door. Rotating the right front leveling leg counterclockwise will lower the right side of the door. Rotating the left front leveling leg will result in the opposite effect. (See also “Step 9: Placing and Leveling the Range” on page 25.)

Adjustment for the Warming Drawer Front

1.To adjust the tilt angle on the warming drawer so the front face is flush with the front face of the steam oven door, loosen the (2) screws on both sides of the drawer frame. Once the correct tilt is achieved, tighten the screws.

2.To adjust vertical and horizontal location to ensure an even gap between the oven doors, loosen the (4) screws on the back side of the warming drawer door. Adjust the height of the warming drawer door so that its bottom edge lines up with the bottom edge of the main oven door. Adjust the warming drawer door side to side so that it aligns with the steam oven door. Once all gaps are even, tighten the screws.

Adjust Horizontal

Step 5: Installing Anti-Tip

Device

WARNING:

RANGE TIPPING HAZARD:

•All ranges can tip and injury can result. To prevent accidental tipping of the range, attach it to the floor 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. For all ranges an anti-tip device must be installed as per these instructions.

If the range is pulled away from the wall for cleaning, service or for any other reason, ensure that the Anti-Tip

Device is properly re-engaged 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.

WARNING:

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD:

Step 9: Placing and Leveling the Range

For proper performance, the range must be level. This is especially important for all products that have the griddle feature. Priority should be placed on ensuring that the oven cavities are also level for optimum cooking performance.

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 29 on page 26).

Caster Locations

4.Final height adjustments of the two rear legs take place before moving the range into its installed position in the cabinet.

5.As the range is moved into its final, installed position, verify that the “hook” on the Anti-Tip Bracket is in a position to engage the back edge of the cast base (see

“Step 5: Installing Anti-Tip Device” on page 12). This can be verified by viewing through the opening near the floor.

6.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.

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.

Leveling Screws

Figure 27: Castor Locations

1.Each range has a pair of casters adjacent to the rear legs (see Figure 27). The casters make moving the range easier by slightly lifting the front and allowing the casters to glide the range back towards its installed position.

2.The range has (4) leveling legs that are threaded into the cast aluminum base structure. The range is leveled by rotating the legs using an 12” (305mm) adjustable wrench on the flat sides of each foot.

•It is suggested to measure the counter top heights first with a tape measure and adding an additional

1/16” - 1/8” (2-3mm), then adjusting the legs accordingly prior to pushing the range back to its final location.

3.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.

Figure 28: Griddle Leveling Screws

WARNING:

To avoid risk of injury, never operate griddle without the griddle plate installed. Never use griddle in a manner that is not prescribed by the Use and Care Manual.

The griddle plate must always be in place when the griddle is turned on.

English 25

CAUTION! DO NOT operate range if sides are lower than the adjacent cabinet.

This may damage the cabinet and countertop due to excessive temperatures.

	CABINET
			CABINET

CORRECT! Leveling legs should be adjusted so that the range sides are at the same or higher level as the adjacent cabinet.

CABINET RANGE CABINET

Leveling legs can be adjusted by using an adjustable wrench on the flats of the legs.

Note: It is assumed that the countertop adjacent to the range has been properly leveled.

Installing the Leg Covers

1.Remove plastic coverings of the stainless steel ‘sleeves’.

2.Place the smaller ‘sleeve’, with cutouts facing up, inside the larger sleeve with the openings of both stacked and facing the back (Figure 30).

3.Beneath the range, wrap the mated pieces around the leg.

4.Slide the outer sleeve up while the inner piece remains on the floor. The mating part has dimples (that you cannot see) for which the holes of the larger sleeve should seize. You should feel a definitive click, letting you know that the apparatus has been mounted to the unit (Figure 31).

5.Repeat for all visible legs.

After the range is properly leveled and the leg covers have been installed, replace the Door Trim and reinstall the

Step 10: Burner Test and Adjustment

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.

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.

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 (4) seconds.

Test Flame: High Setting. Turn burner on to HI. See Figure 33 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®.

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® setting that causes the flame to cycle on and off when the knob is set to the XLO range. This is normal operation.

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.

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.
