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.

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.

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.

NOTICE:

Most range hoods contain combustible components which must be considered when planning the installation.

Important Notes:

It is recommended that a THERMADOR PROFESSIONAL® wall or island hood or custom insert is used with

THERMADOR 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” (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 Figure 1 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, as also indicated in Figure 1 on page 5.

• 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 there is less than a 12" (305mm) horizontal

clearance between combustible material and the back edge of the range above the cooking surface, a

THERMADOR® Low Back or High Shelf must be installed (see Figure 2). When clearance to combustible material is over 12" (305mm), the supplied THER-

MADOR® Flush Island Trim may be used. Figure 2 indicates the space required for each type of backguard.

• A 5” (127mm) minimum clearance is needed when the range is installed beside a combustible side wall.

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

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



As defined in the “National Fuel Gas Code” (ANSI

Z223.1 / NFPA 54, Current Edition).

Note:

The maximum depth of overhead cabinets installed on either side of the hood is 13" (330mm).

A 36” (914mm) minimum clearance is required between the cooking surface of the range 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 0.020” (0.51 mm) thick copper.

Flame retardant materials bare the following 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.

CAUTION:

Do not install the range such that the oven door is flush with the cabinet face. A flush installation could result in damage to the cabinets due to exposure to high heat.

English 22

Step 9: Placing and Leveling the Range

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 20 on page 24).

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.

Note: It is assumed that the countertop adjacent to the

range has been properly leveled.

• Each range has a pair of casters adjacent to the rear legs (see Figure 19). 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.

• 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.

• 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.

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

Caster Locations

FIGURE 19: CASTOR LOCATIONS

• 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.

• 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.

English 23

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

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

CORRECT! Leveling legs should be adjusted so that the range

sides are at the same or higher level as the adjacent cabinet.

Leveling legs can be adjusted

by using an adjustable wrench

on the flats of the legs.

English 24

FIGURE 20: ADJUSTING THE HEIGHT OF THE RANGE

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 21).

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

4. Slide the outer sleeve up. 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 22).

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 Oven Door (“Step 4: Door Removal and Reinstallation” on page 10 for door re-installation).

FIGURE 22: LEG COVERS INSTALLED

FIGURE 21: LEG COVERS

Griddle Tilt Adjustment (Not on all models)

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 (2) screws under the back of the griddle plate. Start with one half turn counter-clockwise of the screws. Further adjustment should be made by one-quarter turn until water slowly flows into the grease tray.

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 seconds.

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

Figure 24 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 know 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 XLO® setting 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.

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 24: FLAME CHARACTERISTICS

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.
