Important Installation Information
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 the “Chart C: Backguard Kit Model Numbers”
on page 14, 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 the Cabinet Preparation instructions on
page 4.
Important:
• A backguard must be utilized when there is less than a
12" horizontal clearance between combustible
materials and the back edge of the range. A
Thermador backguard must be ordered separately and
installed at the rear of the range. A Low Back is
supplied with the 30“ model, and all other models are
supplied with a Flush Island Trim. For island
installations and other installations with more than 12"
clearance, an optional stainless steel Island Trim is
available to cover the backguard mounting flanges.
• Verify that the appliance is correct for the type of gas
being provided. Refer to Step 5 on page 11 before
proceeding with the installation.

English 2
It is the responsibility of the owner and the installer to
determine if additional requirements and/or standards
apply to specific installations.
Step 1: Ventilation
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.
It is strongly recommended that a suitable exhaust hood be
installed above the range. Downdraft ventilation should not
be used. The following table 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. 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, at a
minimum, overhang the range by 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.

Width
Range Top Configuration Ventilation Options
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).
NOTICE:
Most range hoods contain combustible components which
must be considered when planning the installation.
• If the hood contains any combustible materials (i.e. a
wood covering), it must be installed a minimum of 40"
above the cooking surface.
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 or PH Professional Series Wall Hoods or the Professional Series Custom Inserts are recommended
ventilation solutions for these ranges.
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).
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).
CAUTION:
In these installations, the door and cabinet can
cause a pinching hazard.
3. The gas and electrical supply should be within the zone
shown in Figure 3a.
Note:
The maximum depth of over head cabinets installed on
either side of the hood is 13" (330 mm).
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
than No. 28 MSG sheet steel, 0.015 inch (0.4 mm) thick
stainless steel, 0.024 inch (0.6 mm) aluminum, or 0.020
inch (0.5 mm) thick copper. Flame retardant materials bear
the mark:
7. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation
air to the unit.
8. A 5 inch minimum clearance is needed when the range
is installed beside a combustible side wall.
As defined in the “National Fuel Gas Code” (ANSI
Z223.1, NFPA 54 Current Edition).

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.
4. Any openings in the wall behind the range and in the
floor under the range must be sealed.
5. When there is less than a 12" horizontal clearance
between combustible material and the back edge of
the range above the cooking surface, a Thermador
Low Back or Pot and Pan Shelf must be installed. (See
Figure 2). When clearance to combustible material
is over 12", a Thermador Flush Island Trim may be
used. Figure 2 indicates the space required for each
type of backguard.
6. Always keep appliance area clear and free from
combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable
vapors and liquids.

Note:
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.
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.
The gas ranges may be connected to the power supply
with the range supply cord supplied with the range 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 gas 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.
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.)
Electrical Supply
Installation of the range must be planned so that the roughin of the junction box for the receptacle will allow maximum
clearance to the rear of the unit. To minimize binding when
the unit is connected to the receptacle or junction box,
orient the receptacle and slide back into position.
When the power supply cord is connected to the mating
receptacle, the combined plug/receptacle connection
should protrude no more than 2-1/2" from the rear wall. See
Figure 3b.
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.
Important:
The cord supplied with the gas ranges, having an electric
griddle, requires a NEMA 5-20 receptacle, shown here.
Local codes may require a different wiring method.

• Use 3/4" flex line to connect between the gas supply
and the appliance gas inlet, located at the lower right
portion of the range. (See Figure 9.) The appliance inlet
pipe connection is 1/2" NPT. Use caution to avoid
crimping the 3/4" flex line when making bends.
Suggested length of flex line is 48", however, please
check local codes for your area's requirements before
installation.
• The gas supply connections shall be made by a
competent technician and in accordance with local
codes or ordinances. In the absence of local codes, the
installation must conform to the National Fuel Gas Code
ANSI Z223.1/NFPA54- current issue.
• Always use pipe sealing compound or Teflon® tape on
the pipe threads, and be careful not to apply excessive
force when tightening the fittings.
• Leak testing of the appliance shall be in accordance with
the following instructions.
• Turn on gas and check supply line connections for
leaks using a soap and water solution.
• Bubbles forming indicate a gas leak. Repair all leaks
immediately after finding them.
CAUTION:
The appliance must be isolated from the gas
supply piping system by closing its individual
manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing
of the gas supply piping system at test pressures
equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5kPa.).
The appliance and its individual shut off valve
must be disconnected from the gas supply piping
system during any pressure testing of the system
at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5kPa.).
When checking the manifold gas pressure, the
inlet pressure to the regulator should be at least
6.0" (14.9 mb) W.C. for natural gas or 11.0" (27.4
mb) for propane.
Do not attempt any adjustment of the pressure
regulator.

• For these gas range models, a neutral supply wire
must be provided from the power source (breaker/fuse
panel) because critical range components, including
the surface burner spark reignition modules, require
120 VAC to operate safely and properly.
VOLTAGE
WARNING
An improper 120 VAC power supply will cause
malfunction, damage to this appliance, and
possibly create a condition of shock hazard.
• If the correct power supply circuit is not provided, it is
the responsibility and obligation of the installer and
user to have proper power supply connected. This
must be accomplished in accordance with all
applicable local codes and ordinances by a qualified
electrician. In the absence of local codes and
ordinances, the power supply connection shall be in
accordance with the National Electrical Code.
CIRCUIT
RATING
• Observe all governing codes and ordinances when
grounding. In the absence of these codes or
ordinances observe National Electrical Code ANSI/
NFPA No. 70 current issue.
• Electric wiring diagrams and schematics have been
placed in the toe kick area of the range for access by a
qualified service technician.
• Before you plug in an electrical cord, be sure all
controls are in the OFF position.
• For appliances equipped with a cord and plug, do not
cut or remove the ground prong. It must be plugged
into a matching grounding type receptacle to avoid
electrical shock. If there is any doubt as to whether the
wall receptacle is properly grounded, the customer
should have it checked by a qualified electrician.
• Installer — show the owner the location of the circuit
breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy reference.

Important:
Dedicated 20 AMP service is required for range with
electric griddle.
Step 7: Backguard Installation
• The backguard must be attached before sliding the
range into the final, installed position. A Low Back or
Pot-and-Pan Shelf must be installed when there is less
than 12" clearance from a combustible back wall and
the back of the range above the cooking surface.
• A Flush Island Trim is available for covering the back
area of the range for island installations; however, the
Flush Island Trim can only be used where there is a
minimum of 12" horizontal clearance between a
combustible back wall and the back of the range.
• The backguard is inserted inside the guide channels on
the back of the range, as shown in the illustration.
(Remove the griddle plate for sufficient installation
clearance on griddle models.) Using a T-20 size Torx
driver, fasten the backguard with four (4) Torx-head
screws to the range‘s side panels, two (2) screws to the
range‘s back panel, and four (4) screws to the area
around the cooling blower.
• To secure the front of the backguard, install three (3) of
the Torx head screws through the lower front panel of
the backguard, into the flange at the back of the
range’s cooktop.
• The Pot-and-Pan Shelf requires pre-assembly of the
top panel to the shell using nine (9) of the enclosed
Torx-head screws. For sufficient load strength, YOU
MUST attach the two (2) Torx-head screws through the
back corners of the top down into the shell.
• The Pot-and-Pan Shelf provides a shelf above the
cooktop to keep foods hot or store cooking pans.
OBSERVE CAUTIONS.
Front of Range
The back panel of backguard is positioned inside
these two guide channels on the back of the range.

WARNING
Fingers or hand could get pinched when
installing the backguard. Severe injury could
result. Use extreme caution and wear thick
protective gloves to avoid potential cut or
laceration to finger or hand while sliding the
backguard down onto the range.
WARNING
To avoid possible burn or fire hazard, a
backguard designed specifically for this range
must be installed whenever the range is used.

Step 8: Door Removal and
Reinstallation
CAUTION
USE CAUTION WHEN REMOVING THE
DOOR. THE DOOR IS VERY HEAVY.
• Make sure oven is cool and power to 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.
• Grasp only the sides of the oven door
when removing or replacing it.
• 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.
Photo A: Hinge bracket in closed position
To Remove the Oven Door:
1. Fully open the oven door.
2. Flip the hinge clip toward you (see illustration at right).
3. Close the door until it stops; the open hinge clip will
hold the door about halfway open.
4. Grasp the door on the sides. The door is heavy and
fragile - always use both hands. Lift the door up and
out (there will be some spring resistance to overcome).
When the front of the door is high enough, you will be
able to pull the door straight out.
5. Place the door in a safe and stable location.
To Reinstall the Oven Door:
1. Hold door on both sides. Insert hinges into hinge slots.
The door will be about halfway open. It may be
necessary to press firmly inward on the lower portion of
the door, using a rocking motion to fully seat the door's
hinges.
2. Open door all the way to expose hinge clips. Push
hinge clips away from you (toward the oven) until they
meet the hinge.
3. Close and open the door slowly to test the installation.
It should open and close smoothly and be straight, not
crooked.

Step 9: Placing and Leveling
Griddle Tilt Adjustment (Not All Models)
the Range
• For proper performance, the range must be level.
(This is very important for all products that have the
griddle feature.)
• The range has four leveling legs that are threaded into
the cast aluminum base. The range is leveled by
rotating the legs using a 3/8“ socket or a wrench on the
hex flats at the top of each leg, or using an adjustable
wrench on the flats on the sides of the foot (See
Figure 12).
• 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.
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 12).
Check the griddle 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 griddle plate. Start with one half turn
counter-clockwise (CCW) of the screws. Further
adjustment should be made by one-quarter turn until water
slowly flows into the grease tray.
• Final height adjustments of the two rear legs take place
before moving the range into its installed position in the
cabinet.
• As the range is moved into its final, installed position,
verify that one of the rear range feet has properly
engaged the Anti-Tip Bracket (See Step 4). This can
be verified by viewing through the opening near the
floor with the Kick Panel removed.
NOTICE:
Due to their size and weight distribution, the 48“ ranges do
not require the use of the Anti-Tip Bracket.
• 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.
Note:
It is assumed that the countertop adjacent to the range has
been properly leveled.
• After the Range is properly leveled, replace the Kick
Panel and re-install the Oven Door (See “Step 8: Door
Removal and Reinstallation” on page 15). It is
important that the two (2) screws retaining the Kick
Panel are secure to prevent accidental access to
hot surfaces.
• Ensure that the burner caps are correctly seated on the
burner bases of the range‘s cooktop.

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.
Test Rangetop Burners
Test Burner Ignition. Select a rangetop burner knob.
Push in 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 (4) seconds.
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.
Figure 13: Flame Characteristics
Test Flame: High Setting. Turn burner on to HI. See
Figure 13 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: Low Setting. Turn burner on to SIM. Verify
that the flame travels complete 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.
The two left burners feature XLO, that causes the flame to
cycle on and off when the knob is set to the XLO range.
This is normal operation.
Repeat these Ignition and Flame Test procedures for each
rangetop burner.
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.
Test Oven Burners
Remove the oven bottom cover. Remove the 4 screws
on the sides and the 2 screws on the back, then slide the
cover forward while lifting to clear the angled baffle plate
mounted to the bottom of the cover.
Note:
The air shutter for the bake burner is set at the factory for
fully-open position under all conditions, and does not
require adjustment.
Test Bake Burner Ignition
Set the oven to BAKE at 350°F. After 30-75 seconds, the
burner will ignite. The burner will stay lit until 350°F is
reached and then shut off. From this point forward, the
burner will cycle on and off to maintain the temperature.
