■ VENTILATION AND CABINET CONSIDERATIONS
OVERHEAD VENTILATION
It is strongly recommended to install a hood above this
range. For most kitchens with a wall mounted hood, a
certified hood rating of not less than 350 CFM is
recommended. Thermador hoods rated at 350 CFM or
more when operated on High meet the above requirement
and are recommended for this purpose. The range hood
must be installed according to instructions furnished with
the hood.
CABINET
This unit is designed for installation in a countertop near
adjacent walls and projecting surfaces constructed of
combustible materials. There must be a minimum clearance
of 30 inches between the top of the cooking surface and
the bottom of an unprotected wood or metal cabinet; or
24 inches when bottom of wood or metal cabinet is
protected by not less than 1/4" of flame retardant material
covered with not less than No. 28 MSG sheet metal, 0.015
inch stainless steel’ or 0.024 inch aluminum or copper. (See
Figure I). The minimum horizontal distance(s) from the
side and back edge of the unit to adjacent vertical
combustible walls are as follows: Zero clearance is permitted
on rear, right and left walls.
For the cabinets over the cooking surface and the adjacent
cabinets, the maximum cabinet depth from back wall is 13
inches.
Instructions were determined using Standard American base
cabinets measuring 36" high x 24" deep (see Figures 2 & 3).
When installed, the range must extend beyond the cabinet
doors/drawers. In an
layout a notch on the countertop on each side so the back
of the notches line up with the front of the cabinet doors.
(See NOTCH INSERT in Figure 3).

VENTILATION AND CABINET CONSIDERATIONS
Layout the remaining dimensions
positioned from the back of these
notches.
If nonstandard cabinets are used, care
should be taken to alter dimensions
accordingly.
NOTICE: Some cabinet flnishes
cannot survive the temperatures
allowed by U.L., particularly selfcleaning ovens; the cabinets may
discolor or stain. This is most
noticeable with laminated cabinets. If
your cabinet company does not
approve a temperature of 180° F., the
range should be installed such that the
oven front frame does NOT line up
BEHIND the pane of the front of the
cabinet doors.
CAUTION: To eliminate the
risk of burns or flre by reaching
over heated surface units, cabinet
storage space located above the
surface units should be avoided.
If cabinet storage is to be
provided, the risk can be reduced
by installing a range hood that
projects horizontally a minimum
of 5 inches beyond the bottom
of the cabinets.

ATTENTION: Pour élimıner le
risque de brûlures ou d’incendie
en atteindrant sur les unités de
la surface chauffés, I’espace
d’emmagasinage de l’armoire
localisée audessus des unités de
la surface doit être evitée. Si
l’emmagasinage de l’amoire est
d’être fourni, le risque peut être
réduit par l’installation d’un capot
de la cuisiniêre qui projette
horizontalement un minimum de
5 pouces au delâ du fond des
armoires.
GAS CONNECTION (MODELS RDF30, RDFS30 & RDSS30) ■
Be sure the unit being installed is compatible with
the type of gas available. The range is shipped from the
factory for use with natural gas.
Conversion for use with propane gas can be made by using
a kit, NLPK1T 6, P/N 35-00-688. Only a qualified technician
or installer should convert the range.
This kit includes instructions for adjusting valves and
pressure regulator and contains new burner jets.
The RDFS and RDSS models are equipped with an
intermittent/interrupted ignition device (ExtraLow®).
NATURAL GAS
The range is shipped from the factory for use with natural
gas only. The gas supply to the appliance regulator must be
a minimum of 6.0" water column. The maximum gas pressure
to the appliance regulator shall not exceed 14" W. C..
PROPANE GAS
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
gas supply to the appliance regulator must be a
minimum of 11.0" water column. The maximum gas
pressure to the appliance regulator is not to exceed
14.0" water column from the propane gas tank.
ATTENTION: En branchant l’appareil au gaz de
propane, soyez certain que le réservoir de gaz du
propane est équipé avec son régulateur de haute
pression en addition du régulateur de pression fourni
avec cet appareil. La fourniture de gaz au régulateur
