INTRODUCTION
The Thermador Professional ® Ranges are free-standing
units available in a number of configurations. All models
feature a gas cooking surface with a professional size,
electric convection, self-cleaning oven with broil capabil-
ity.
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. Refer to the
product rating label which can be located as indicated on
Page 43.
IMPORTANT
All ranges must be installed with a backguard. The
PDR 304 comes with a low back. For all other
models, one of three available backguards must be
ordered separately and installed at the back of the
range. The three backguard choices include a Low
Back, High Back Shelf, or Island Trim. Before using
the range, insure that it is equipped with a proper
backguard. Refer to the Installation Instructions
accompanying this appliance for more information.
