Tools Needed

(2) 1/2” wrenches 1/8” (3.17mm) drill bit
3/16” (4.76mm) drill bit 12” adjustable wrench

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 ventilation hood
options and blower capacity guidelines that are

recommended for use with all THERMADOR® ranges.

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.

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 may be
desirable for improved ventilation performance.

• For island installations, the hood width should
overhang the range by a minimum of 3" (76mm) on
each side.

2. Hood Placement:

• For best smoke elimination, the lower edge of the hood
should be installed 30" (762mm) above the range
cooking surface. Use a 36" (914mm) minimum
clearance if the hood contains any combustible
materials such as a wood covering (Figure 1 on
page 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
“Cabinet Clearances” on page 5 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.

• The range should not be recessed into the cabinets
beyond the edge of the front face of the oven (see
Figure 2 on page 6).

• The gas and electrical supply should be within the
zones shown in Figure 3 on page 7.

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

• When installing against a combustible surface, a High
Shelf or Low Backguard is required. A THERMADOR®

High Shelf or Low Backguard must be purchased
separately (“Backguard Kit Model Numbers” on
page 24).

• When using the Flush Island Trim, THERMADOR
recommends a minimum 12” (305 mm) rear clearance
to a combustible surface (see Figure 1, Cabinet
Clearances). Clearances from non-combustible
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” (127mm) is needed from the side of the
range to the wall.

• 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" (330mm).

• Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation
air to the unit.

There is a 36” (914mm) minimum clearance required
between the top of the cooking surface and the bottom of
an unprotected cabinet. A 30” (762mm) clearance can be
used when the bottom of the wood or metal cabinet is
protected by not less than 1/4” (6mm) 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.

the gas supply to the range.

-- 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 7: Electrical Requirements, Connection & Grounding”
on page 16 for details.

Figure 3: Gas & Electrical Supply Locations

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 6: Gas Requirements and Hookup” on page 14).

NOTE:

The range is designed for nearly-flush installation to the
back wall. For a successful installation, it may be
necessary to reposition the gas supply line and electrical
cord as the range is pushed back to its final position.

-- SUGGESTION: This may be accomplished by carefully

pulling on a rope or twine looped around the gas or
electrical supply line as the range is pushed back into
its final installed position.

Electrical Supply

Installation of the range must be planned so that the rough­in of the terminal block for the receptacle or conduit
connection will allow maximum clearance to the rear of the
unit.

When the power supply cord or conduit is connected to the
mating receptacle or terminal block cover, the combined
connection should protrude no more than 2” (51mm) from
the rear wall (see Figure 4).

Refer to Figure 15 on page 16 for location of the terminal
block on unit. To minimize binding when the unit is
connected, orient the receptacle or conduit connector, and
slide back into position.

Step 4: Door Removal and Reinstallation

CAUTION:

• USE CAUTION WHEN REMOVING THE DOOR.
THE DOOR IS VERY HEAVY.

• Make sure oven is cool and power to the oven has
been turned off before removing the door. Failure to
do so could result in electrical shock or burns.

• The oven door is heavy and fragile. Use both hands
to remove or replace the door.

• Failure to grasp the oven door firmly and properly
could result in personal injury and product damage.

• With the door off, never release the levers and try to
close the hinges. Without the weight of the door, the
powerful springs will snap the hinges closed with
great force.

To Remove the Oven Door:

1. Open the door fully and use a screwdriver to carefully pry the hinge clips away from the hinge slots (Photo A).

2. Flip the hinge clip toward you (Photo B).

3. Close the door until it stops against the hinge clips. The open hinge clips will hold the door open at a slight angle.

4. Grasp the door firmly on the ends of the door handle,
and lift the door up. (There will be some spring
resistance to overcome.) When the door is lifted
sufficient to clear the hinge hooks, the door can be
pulled straight out (Photo C). Place the door in a safe
and stable location.

To Reinstall the Oven Door:

1. Position the door at a sharp angle (see Figure 8) and insert the hinges centered evenly into the hinge slots. The hinges will securely hook into the slots when properly installed. Do not force, bend, or twist the door.

• Tip: Rest the door on your foot while using your leg

for stability.

2. Open the door fully and use a screwdriver to push the hinge clips all the way into the hinge slots (toward the oven) until they meet the hinge. Be careful not to scratch the range during this process.

Figure 8: Approximate Door Angle for Removal

To Check Door Fit and Adjustment:

1. Open and close the door slowly to test the movement
and the fit of the door to the oven cavity. Do not force
the door to open or close. If the door is properly
installed, it should move smoothly and rest straight on
the front of the range when closed.

2. If the door does not operate correctly, verify that the hinges are properly seated into the hinge slots, and that the hinge clips are fully engaged into the slots.

Step 9: Placing and Leveling the Range

For proper performance, the range must be level. This is
especially important for all products that have the griddle
feature. Priority should be placed on ensuring that the oven

cavities are also level for optimum cooking performance.

CAUTION:

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 (see Figure 29 on page 26).

Caster Locations

4. Final height adjustments of the two rear legs take place before moving the range into its installed position in the cabinet.

5. As the range is moved into its final, installed position,
verify that the “hook” on the Anti-Tip Bracket is in a
position to engage the back edge of the cast base (see
“Step 5: Installing Anti-Tip Device” on page 12). This
can be verified by viewing through the opening near
the floor.

6. With the range in the installed position, the final height adjustments are made to the two front legs to ensure proper alignment to the countertop.

Griddle Tilt Adjustment (not all models)

If the range is equipped with an electric griddle, 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 frame. Start with one half turn
counterclockwise (CCW) of the screws. Further adjustment
should be made by one-quarter turn until water slowly flows
into the grease tray.

Figure 27: Castor Locations

1. Each range has a pair of casters adjacent to the rear legs (see Figure 27). The casters make moving the range easier by slightly lifting the front and allowing the casters to glide the range back towards its installed position.

2. The range has (4) leveling legs that are threaded into the cast aluminum base structure. The range is leveled by rotating the legs using an 12” (305mm) adjustable wrench on the flat sides of each foot.

• It is suggested to measure the counter top heights

first with a tape measure and adding an additional
1/16” - 1/8” (2-3mm), then adjusting the legs
accordingly prior to pushing the range back to its
final location.

3. Progression of the height adjustments should be alternated proportionally between the four legs, until the top edges of the range’s side panels are close to matching the countertop height.

Leveling Screws

Figure 28: Griddle Leveling Screws

WARNING:

To avoid risk of injury, never operate griddle without the
griddle plate installed. Never use griddle in a manner
that is not prescribed by the Use and Care Manual.

The griddle plate must always be in place when the
griddle is turned on.

CAUTION! DO NOT operate range if sides are lower than the adjacent cabinet.

This may damage the cabinet and countertop due to excessive temperatures.

CORRECT! Leveling legs should be adjusted so that the range

sides are at the same or higher level as the adjacent cabinet.

Installing the Leg Covers

Toe Kick Panel (optional)

1. Remove plastic coverings of the stainless steel ‘sleeves’.

2. Place the smaller ‘sleeve’, with cutouts facing up, inside the larger sleeve with the openings of both stacked and facing the back (Figure 30).

3. Beneath the range, wrap the mated pieces around the leg.

4. Slide the outer sleeve up while the inner piece remains
on the floor. The mating part has dimples (that you
cannot see) for which the holes of the larger sleeve
should seize. You should feel a definitive click, letting
you know that the apparatus has been mounted to the
unit (Figure 31).

5. Repeat for all visible legs.

After the range is properly leveled and the leg covers have
been installed, replace the Door Trim and reinstall the
Oven Door(s) (“Step 4: Door Removal and Reinstallation”
on page 10 for door re-installation).

Protective Work Gloves

1. Remove the leg covers by sliding the top, outer sleeve of the leg covers off the extruded dimples of the cast aluminum base (see Figure 30).

2. Remove protective plastic covering from the Toe Kick Panel.

3. Beneath the range, with the holes and flange facing up, wrap the Toe Kick Panel around the cast aluminum base.

4. The mating part has extruded dimples on both sides for which the holes of the Toe Kick Panel should seize. You should feel a definitive snap, letting you know that the part has been installed.

5. Mount the Toe Kick Panel on both sides of the unit into the extruded dimples using the (4) T-20 Torx drill point screws provided.

Step 10: Burner Test and Adjustment

Install any loose components, such as burner caps and
grates, that may have been removed earlier. Be certain that
burner caps seat properly into the burner bases. Before
testing operation of the appliance, verify that the unit and
the gas supply have been carefully checked for leaks and
that the unit has been connected to the electrical power
supply. Turn the gas shut-off valve to the open position.

NOTICE:

All oven knobs and selectors must be set to OFF before
powering up the range. To prevent unintended operation at
power up, please set all oven knobs to OFF. To ensure
customer safety in the event of power failure, the unit will
display an error message upon reinstatement of power
unless all oven knobs are set to OFF. Set all oven knobs to
OFF and reset the breaker to clear the message.

Test Rangetop Burners

Test Burner Ignition. Select a rangetop burner knob. Push
down and turn counterclockwise to HI. The ignitor/spark
module will produce a clicking sound. Once the air has
been purged from the supply lines, the burner should light
within (4) seconds.

Four rangetop burners, (2) on the left side and (2) on the
right, feature the XLO® setting that causes the flame to

cycle on and off when the knob is set to the XLO range.
This is normal operation.

When Flame is Properly Adjusted:

There should be a flame at each burner port. There should
be no air gap between the flame and burner port.

Repeat these Ignition and Flame Test procedures for each
rangetop burner.

Yellow Flames:

Further adjustment is required.

Yellow Tips on Outer Cones:

Normal for LP Gas.

Soft Blue Flames:

Normal for Natural Gas.

Test Flame: High Setting. Turn burner on to HI. See
Figure 33 for appropriate flame characteristics.

If any of the rangetop burners continue to burn mostly or
completely yellow, verify that the burner cap is positioned
properly on the burner base, then retest. If flame

characteristics do not improve, call THERMADOR®.

Test Flame: Simmer Setting. Turn burner on to SIM. Verify
that the flame travels completely around the burner. This is
known as “carry over.” There should be a flame at each
burner port and there should be no air gap between the
flame and the burner. If any burners do not “carry over,” call
THERMADOR.

If the flame is completely or mostly yellow, verify
that the regulator is set for the correct fuel. After
adjustment, retest.

Some orange-colored streaking is normal during
the initial start-up.

Allow unit to operate 4-5 minutes and re-evaluate
before making adjustments.
