Shelf or Low Backguard must be purchased separately.
See Step 8 on page 16for backguard, kits 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 21, 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 See "Step 2: Cabinet
Preparation" on page 4.
CAUTION
When connecting the unit to propane gas, make certain
the propane gas tank is equipped with its own high-
pressure 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 itfor warming or
heating a room.
To avoid possible burn or fire hazard, a backguard
designed specifically for this range must be installed
whenever the range is used.
English 2
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.
Itisstronqlv recommended that this appliance be installed
in conjunction with a suitable overhead vent hood (see
"Step f: 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.
This appliance has been tested in accordance with ANSI
Z21.1, Standard for Household Cooking Appliances (USA)
and in accordance with CAN 1.1-M81 Domestic Gas
Ranges (Canadian).
This appliance complies with one or more of the following
standards:
Step 1: Ventilation
Requirements
It is stronqlv 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.
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.
,
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.
,
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).
,
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 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 4 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 (see chart below for Model Numbers).
• 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.
• Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation
air to the unit.
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 (Flame 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.

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:
Photo A
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 B
English 10
Photo C
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.

FIGURE 9: HINGE RECEIVER ADJUSTMENT SCREW
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.
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 22.)
To Check Door Fit and Operation:
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.
3. 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. Turn adjustment screw until door is
aligned (Figure 9).

Step 9: Placing and Leveling the Range
For proper performance, the range must be level. This is 4.
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. 5.
, CAUTION:
The top edges of the range's side panels must be on the
same or higher level as the adjacent countertop. Ifthe
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 24 on page 23).
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 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.
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.

FIGURE22: CASTOR LOCATIONS
1. Each range has a pair of casters adjacent to the rear
legs (see Figure 22). 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.
,
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.
Leveling
FIGURE23: 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 22
CA UTION! DO NOT operate range if sides are lower than the adjacent cabinet.
This may damage the cabinet and countertop due to excessive temperatures.

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 25).
3. Beneath the range, wrap the mated pieces around the

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 26).
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

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
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.
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.
FIGURE28: FLAME CHARACTERISTICS
Test Flame: High Setting. Turn burner on to HI. See
Figure 28 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.
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.
