range matches the gas type available.

Important

* A backguard must be utilized when there is less than

a 12" horizontal clearance between combustible ma- terials and the backedge of the range. The Thermador

Low Back backguard must be ordered separately and installed at the rear of the range. For island installa-

tions and other installations with more than 12" clear- ance, an optional stainless steel Island Trim is avail-

able 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

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 inches water column (34.9 rob) from the propane gas tank to the

pressure regulator.

CAUTION

This unit is designed as a cooking appliance.

Based on safety considerations, never use it for

warming or heating a room.

This appliance complies with one or more of the following standards:

UL 858, Standard for the Safety of Household Electric Ranges UL 923, Standard for the Safety of Microwave Cooking

Appliances

• UL 507, Standard for the Safety of Electric Fans ANSi Z21.1, American National Standard for House-

hold Cooking Gas Appliances CANiCSA-C22.2 No. 113-M1984 Fans and Ventila-

tors

CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 61-M89 Household Cooking Ranges

It is strong_ recommended that this appliance be installed in conjunction with a suitable overhead vent hood. (See Step 1 for Ventilation Requirements.) Due to the high heat capability of this unit, particular atten- tion should be paid to the hood and duct work instal- lation to assure it meets local building codes.

It is the responsibility of the owner and the installer to determine if additional requirements and!or standards apply to specific installations.

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.

Check local building codes for the proper method of appliance installation. Local codes vary. Installation, electrical connections and grounding must comply

with all applicable codes. In the absence of local

codes the appliance should be installed in accor- dance with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/

NFPA 54 current issue and National Electrical Code

ANSI/NFPA 70-current issue. In Canada, installation

must be in accordance with the CAN 1-B149.1 and .2

-Installation Codes for Gas Burning Appliances and/ or local codes.

Step 1

It is stron IgLv_recommended that a

suitable exhaust hood be installed above the range. Downdraft

ventilation should notbe used. The table below indicates the

Thermador hoods, by model number, that are recommended for use with all ranges.

1. Select Hood and B ower Modems:

Forwall 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 cooking sur-

face may be desirable for im-

proved ventilation perfor- mance.

For island installations, the hood width should, at a mini-

mum, overhang the range cooking surface by 3" on each side.

Ventilation Requirements

Ventilation hoods and blowers are designed for use with single wall

ducting. However, some local

building codes or inspectors may require double wall ducting. Con- suit local building codes and/or local agencies before starting to

assure that hood and duct instal- lation will meet local requirements.

Do not install a microwave oven /

ventilator combination above the

range, as these types of units do not provide the proper ventilation

and are not suitable for use with

the range.

Hood Placement:

The lower edge of the hood should be installed a minimum

of 36" above the range cook- ing surface. Also use a 36"

minimum clearance if the hood contains any combustible

materials such as a wood cov- ering. (See Figure 1).

Consider Make-Up Air:

Due to the high volume of ven- tilation air, a source of outside

replacement air is recom- mended. This is particularly important for tightly sealed and

insulated homes. A qualified heating and venti-

lating contractor should be consulted.

Notes: * For wall installations where adequate space is available, the installer or user may elect to

use a hood that is wider than the rangetop cooking surface. This may be particularly beneficial for installations having a long duct run or when heavy usage of the grill is anticipated, in which

improved capturing of the cooking exhaust is desired.

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 Fig. 1 are required. The same clear- ances 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 Fig. 1.

The 36" ranges may be recessed into the cabk nets beyond the edge of the front face of the oven (See Figures 2A and 2B). The 30" and 48" ranges are not approved to be installed flush with the

cabinets.

CAUTION

In these installations, the door and cabinet on 36-inch models can cause a pinching hazard.

3. The gas and electrical supply should be within the zones shown in Fig. 3A.

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" horizontal clear- ance between combustible material A and the

back edge of the range above the cooking sur-

face, a Thermador Low Back or Pot and Pan

Shelf must be installed. (See Fig. 2A). When clearance to combustible material A is over 12", a Thermador Island Trim may be used. (See Fig. 2B). Figures 2A and 2B indicate the space re- quired for each type of backguard.

A three (3) inch minimum clearance is needed when the range is installed beside a combustible

side wall.

Always keep appliance area clear and free from

combustible materials, gasoline and other flam- mable vapors and liquids.

Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ven- tilation air to the unit.

Note: The maximum depth of over head cabinets installed on either side of the hood is 13".

A 36-inch minimum clearance is required between

the top of the range and the bottom of an unprotected cabinet. It is recommended that the bottom of the

wood or metal cabinet be protected by not less than

1,1'4inch of aflame retardant material covered with not less than No. 28 MSG sheet steel, 0.015 inch (0.38 mm) thick stainless steel, 0.024 inch (0.6 mm) alumk

num, or 0.020 inch (0.5 mm) thick copper. Flame retardant materials bear 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.

A As defined in the "National Fuel Gas Code"

(ANSI Z223.1 / NFPA 54, Current Edition).

Step 2: Cabinet Preparation

CAUTION:

Do not install the 30" and 48" ranges such that the oven door isflush

with the cabinet face. A flush installation could result in damage to

the cabinets due to exposure to high heat.

The All Gas ranges may be con- nected to the power supply with a range supply cord (supplied with 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 con-

nection 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.

_ a

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.)

mMPORTANT: The cord supplied with gas ranges having electric griddle requires

a NEMA 5-20 receptacle, shown here. Local codes may require a different wiring method.

Step 3 Unpacking, Moving and Placing the Range

CAUTION

Proper equipment and ad- equate 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 shouJd be handled accordingJy.

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 ChartA and

allow the range to pass through 30" doorways. See Figs. 2A and 2B on Page 5. Do not remove the grill or griddle

assemblies.

must be lifted and removed from the skid.

mMPORTANT: Do not lift the range by the oven door's

handJe, as this may damage the door hinges and cause the door to fit incorrectJy to the oven cavity.

NOTE: Leave adhesive-backed

foam layer over brushed-metal

surfaces to protect finish from scratches, until the range is in- stalled in final position.

Step 3: Unpacking, Moving and Placing the Range

Due to the weight, a dolly with soft wheels should be used to move this unit. The weight must be supported uniformly across the bottom (See Fig.

6).

After transporting the professional range by dolly

close to its final location, the range can be tipped back and supported on the rear legs while the dolly is carefully removed. THE FLOOR UNDER THE

LEGS SHOULD BE PROTECTED BEFORE PUSHING THE UNiT mNTO POSlTmON. The

anti-tip device must be installed (Step 4), gas and electrical connections should be made (Steps 5 and 6), and the backguard installed (Step 7) before the range is placed in its final position.

For proper performance, the range must be _eveL (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 and install the oven door. To install door, see Page 15. Do not install the oven door until the range is in its final loca- tion. ff is important that the two (2) screws retaining the kick pane_ are secure to prevent

accidenta_ access to hot surfaces.

Ensure that the burner caps are correctly seated on the burner bases of the range's cooktop.

Grill / Griddle Tilt Adjustment (Notonall models)

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 griddle frame. Start with one half turn CCW of the screws. Further adjustment should be made by one=quarter turn until water slowly flows into the grease tray.

Step 4: Installing Anti-Tip Device

For aH 30" and 36" ranges, an anti-tip device must be installed as per these instructions.

_, WARNING

RANGE TtPPING HAZARD

AH ranges can tip and injury can result. To prevent accidental tipping of the range, attach it to the floor, wall or cabinet by installing the Anti-Tip Device supplied. A risk of tip-over may exist if the appmi-

ance is not installed in accordance with these instructions.

mfthe range is pulled away from the wall for c_eaning, service or any other reason, ensure that the Anti-Tip Device is prop- er_y reengaged when the range is pushed back against the wall. mnthe event of abnorma_ usage (such as a person stand- ing, sitting, or _eaning on an open door}, failure to take this precaution can result in tipping of the range.
