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.
