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.

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.

WARNING:

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

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

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.

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.

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.

Figure 3: Gas & Electrical Supply Locations

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.

2” (51mm) maximum

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.
