Pipe Compound / Tape

Due to the high heat of the rangetop burners, 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.

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.

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.

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/rangetop may be desirable for improved ventilation performance.

• For island installations, the hood width should overhang the width of 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 (see “Installation Clearances”).

• 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”).

Installation Instructions English 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.

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” 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.

• Any openings in the wall behind the range and in the floor under the range must be sealed.

• The gas and electrical supply should be within the zones shown in Figure 5 on page 11.

• When installing against a combustible surface, a Low Backguard is required. A THERMADOR Backguard must be purchased separately (see Table 3 on page 16).

• When using the Flush Island Trim, THERMADOR recommends a minimum 12'' (305 mm) rear clearance to a combustible surface (see “Installation Clearances” beginning on page 7). Clearances from noncombustible 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.

TM

Low

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

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.
