Important Installation Information
GAS Type Verification
Verify the type of gas supplied to the location. Ensure that
the appliance is connected to the type of gas for which it is
certified. Ranges are certified for use with only natural gas
or propane (LP) gas. Make certain the range matches the
gas type available; these ranges are NOT convertible
between gas types.
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. The
Thermador Low Back backguard must be ordered
separately and installed at the rear of the range. 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 12 before
proceeding with the installation.
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.

applytospecificinstallations.
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.
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.
Step 1: Ventilation
Requirements
It is stronqly 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.
, Select Hood and Blower Models:
For wall installations, the hood width must, at a
minimum, equal the width of the range cooking surface.
Where space permits, a hood larger in width than the 3.
cooking surface may be desirable for improved •
ventilation performance.
For island installations, the hood width should, at a
minimum, overhang the range cooking surface by 3" on
each side. •
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.
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 Professional Series Wall Hoods or the Professional Series Custom Inserts are recommended ventilation
solutions for these ranges. The PH Professional Series Wall Hoods are also a viable option, however the 27" depth of
the PH series may not be suitable to all applications.
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).
In these installations, the door and cabinet can
CAUTION:
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".
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:
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.
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 A 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 A
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.
,
Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation
air to the unit.
8.
A (10) inch minimum clearance is needed when the
range is installed beside a combustible side wall.

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 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 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.
Figure 3a: Gas & Electrical Supply Locations for All Gas Ranges
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.)
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.
English 7
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.
PLUG
NEMA 5=20
RECEPTACLE
Electrical Supply
Installation of the range must be planned so that the rough-
in 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.
Step 3: Unpacking, Moving
and Placing the Range
CAUTION
Proper equipment and adequate manpower
must be used in moving the range to avoid
injury, and to avoid damage to the unit or the
floor. The unit is heavy and should be handled
accordingly.
• The range has an approximate shipping weight as
shown in Chart A. The grates, griddle plate and frame,
burner caps, front kick panel and oven racks must be
removed to facilitate handling. This will reduce the
weight as shown in Chart A. See Figure 2 on page 6.
Do not remove the griddle assembly.
• Remove the outer carton and packing material from the
shipping base. The all gas ranges are held to the pallet
by four (4) bolts (see Figure 4). After removing the
bolts, the range must be lifted and removed from the
pallet.
Important:
DO NOT lift the range by the oven door's handle, as this
may damage the door hinges and cause the door to fit
incorrectly to the oven cavity.

Important:
DO NOT lift the range by the oven door's handle, as this
may damage the door hinges and cause the door to fit
incorrectly to the oven cavity.
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.
For proper performance, the range must be level. (It
is very important for all products that have the griddle
feature.) The range is leveled by adjusting the legs with
a wrench.
• Replace the kick panel. 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.

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. 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.
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.

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
backguard 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 assembly 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 side panels, and eight (8) screws
to the bottom flange and area around the cooling fan.
See the (12)locations identified (by arrows) in the
illustration.
Important:
All 12 screw locations must be used for proper air
movement behind the backguard.
• The Pot-and-Pan Shelf models require 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 shelf.
• Tosecure the front of the back guard, 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 models provide a shelf above
the cooktop to keep foods hot or store cooking pans.

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 electri-
cal 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: 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 manual 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.
Test Flame: High Setting. Turn burner on to HI. See
Figure 10 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.
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 10: 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.
Test Flame: Low Setting. Turn burner on to SIM. Verify
that the flame completely surrounds the burner. 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 far 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 the Ignition and Flame Test procedures, described
above for each rangetop burner.
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.
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.
English 16
Test Broil Burner Ignition
Set cooking mode to BROIL. The burner will ignite after 30-
75 seconds.
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.
The infrared ceramic broiler does not have an air shutter,
so no adjustment is provided.
Gas Supply
• Connection: 1/2" N.P.T. with a minimum 3/4" diameter
flex line - suggested length four (4) ft., depending upon
local codes.
• The appliance is connected only to the type of gas for
which it is certified for use.
• Manual gas shut off valve installed in an accessible
location (without requiring removal of range).
• Unit tested and free of gas leaks.
