The maximum gas pressure to this appliance must not exceed 14.0 inches 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 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

•UL923,StandardfortheSafetyofMicrowaveCooking Appliances

•UL 507, Standard for the Safety of Electric Fans

•ANSI Z21.1, American National Standard for Household Cooking Gas Appliances

•CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 113-M1984 Fans and Ventilators

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

It is strongly 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 attention should be paid to the hood and duct work installation 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 accordance 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: 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 Thermador hoods, by model number, that are recommended for use with all ranges.

1.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 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.

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 types of units do not provide the proper ventilation and are not suitable for use with the range.

2. Hood Placement:

•The lower edge of the hood should be installed a minimum of 36" above the range cooking surface. Also use a 36" minimum clearance if the hood contains any combustible materials such as a wood covering. (See Figure 1).

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.

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.

** Thermador offers a choice of remote (VTR1030D or VTR1530D) or internal (VTN1030C) blowers for use in wall installations.

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 Fig. 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 Fig. 1.

2.The 36" ranges may be recessed into the cabinets 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.

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 1/4 inch of a flame 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) aluminum, 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 (FIame 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 and the back edge of the range above the cooking surface, a Thermador Low Back or Pot and Pan

Shelf must be installed. (See Fig. 2A). When

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

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

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

8.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).

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 INTO POSITION. 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 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 and install the oven door.

To install door, see Page 15. Do not install the oven door until the range is in its final location. 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.

FIG. 6- Dolly Positioning

Remove all tape and packaging before using the appliance. Destroy the packaging after unpacking the appliance. Never allow children to play with packaging material.

Grill / Griddle Tilt Adjustment (Not on all 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.

9

Step 4: Installing Anti-Tip Device

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

WARNING RANGE TIPPING HAZARD

•All 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 appliance is not installed in accordance with these instructions.

•If the range is pulled away from the wall for cleaning, service or any other reason, ensure that the Anti-Tip Device is properly reengaged when the range is pushed back against the wall. In the event of abnormal usage (such as a person standing, sitting, or leaning on an open door), failure to take this precaution can result in tipping of the range. Personal injury might result from spilled hot liquids or from the range itself.
