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. All models are certified for use with natural gas. Field conversion of the appliance for use with propane gas supply will require a conversion kit.
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.
Gas Supply :
Natural Gas - 6 inch water column, (14.9 mb) min., 14 inch (34.9 mb) maximum
Propane Gas - 11 inch water column, (27.4 mb), min.
14 inch (34.9 mb) maximum
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).
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.
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 70current 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.
This appliance complies with one or more of the following standards:
•UL 858, Standard for the Safety of Household Electric Ranges
•UL923,StandardfortheSafetyof MicrowaveCooking Appliances
•UL 507, Standard for the Safety of Electric Fans
•ANSIZ21.1, AmericanNationalStandardforHousehold Cooking Gas Appliances
•CAN/CSA-C22.2No.113-M1984FansandVentila- tors
•CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 61-M89 Household Cooking Ranges
It is the responsibility of the owner and the installer to determine if additional requirements and/or standards apply to specific installations.
This appliance is equipped with an intermittent/interrupted ignition device that cycles the two far left surface burners on and off when in the ExtraLow® setting.
Due to the high heat of the cooktop burners, installing a microwave oven with a ventilation system over the cooktop is not recommended.
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.
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 is not to exceed 14.0 inches water column (34.9 mb) from the propane gas tank to the regulator.
CAUTION
This unit is designed as a cooking appliance. Based on safety considerations, never use it for warming or heating a room.
1
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:
•For best smoke elimination, the lower edge of the hood should be installed 36" above the range cooking surface. (See Fig. 1).
•If the hood contains any combustible materials (i.e. a wood covering), it must be a minimum of 36" above the cooking surface.
3.Consider Make-Up Air:
•Due to the high volume of ventilation air, a source of outside replacement air is recommended. This is particularly importantfor tightly sealed and insulated homes.
•A qualified heating and ventilating contractor should be consulted.

Step 2: Cabinet Preparation
1.The range is a free standing unit. If the unit is to be placedadjacenttocabinets,theclearancesshown 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 overhead cabinets installed on either side of the hood is 13".
A 36-inch minimum clearance is required between the top of the cooking surface 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 0.02 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 backguard 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, Current Edition).

NOTE: Any opening in the wall behind the appliance and any opening in the floor under the appliance must be sealed.
The Dual Fuel 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 electrical 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.
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.)
6
Step 2: Cabinet Preparation
ELECTRICAL SUPPLY
Installation of the range must be planned so that the rough-in of the junction box for the receptacle or conduit connection will allow maximum clearance to the rear of the unit.
When the power supply cord (not supplied) or conduit is connected to the mating receptacle or junction box cover, the combined plug/receptacle or junction box cover/conduit connector should protrude no more than 2-1/4" from the rear wall. See Figure 3B.
This is especially critical if the junction box in the wall will be directly behind the junction box on the unit when the unit is installed. Refer to Figure 8 on Page 14 for location of junction box on unit. To minimize binding when the unit is connected to the receptacle or junction box, orient the receptacle or conduit connector, and slide back into 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 mustbesupporteduniformlyacrossthebottom
(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 17. 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.

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.

Step 5: Gas Requirements and Hookup
Verify the type of gas being used at the installation site.
The appliance is shipped from the factory for use with natural gas. It must be converted for use with propane. A qualified technician or installer must do the conversion. Make certain the range matches the type of gas available at this location.
The field conversion kit for this series of dual-fuel ranges is Thermador Model PLPKIT. Obey all instructions in PLPKIT for correct conversion of the gas regulator and settings for the gas valves.
CAUTION
When connecting 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 appliance. The pressure of the gas supplied to the appliance regulator must not exceed 14" (34.9 mb) water column.
This appliance has been CSA certified for safe operation up to an elevation of 10,200 ft. without any modifications. Exception: For use with propane, the appliance must be converted per the LP conversion instructions.
Natural Gas Requirements:
Inlet Connection: 3/4" NPT external 1/2" NPT internal
(Minimum 3/4" diam. flex line.) Supply Pressure: 6" min. to 14" max. water col-
umn.
(14.9 to 34.9 mb) Manifold Pressure: 5" water column (12.5 mb)

Manifold Pressure: 10" water column (24.9 mb)
WARNING
Gas line must not come in contact with any components inside back cover of range. Run gas line in channel in back of range.
HOOK UP
•A manual gas shut-off valve must be installed external to the appliance, in a location accessible from the front, for the purpose of shutting off the gas supply. The supply line must not interfere with the back of the unit. Make sure the gas supply is turned off at the manual shut-off valve before connecting the appliance.
•The range is supplied with its own pressure regulator that has been permanently mounted within the range body.
•Use 3/4" flex line to connect between the gas supply and the appliance manifold pipe, which exits the upper rear of the appliance. The appliance manifold pipe connection has a 3/4" NPT external thread and a 1/2" NPT internal thread. (See Photo A.) Use caution to avoid crimping the 3/4" flex line when making bends.
•The gas supply connections shall be made by a competent technician and in accordance with local codes or ordinances. In the absence of a local code, the installation must conform to the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA54current issue.
•Always use pipe sealing compound or Teflon® tape on the pipe threads, and be careful not to apply excessive pressure when tightening the fittings.
•Leak testing of the appliance shall be in accordance with the following instructions.
•Turn on gas and check supply line connections for leaks using a soap and water solution.
•Bubbles forming indicate a gas leak. Repair all leaks immediately after finding them.
•Do not use a flame of any kind to check for gas leaks.
