Step 7: Backguard Installation
WARNING
Fingers or hand could get pinched when
installing the backguard. Severe injury could
result. Use extreme caution and wear thick
protective gloves to avoid potential cut or
laceration to finger or hand while sliding the
backguard down onto the range.
WARNING
• To avoid possible burn or fire hazard, a
backguard designed specifically for this
range must be installed whenever the
range is used.
• DO NOT attempt to install a Thermador
series backguard, which has air holes in
the back panel to supply (only) one cooling
fan. [See Figure 16]
See Chart C for the correct size of Backguard Kit to match
the range.
• The backguard must be attached before sliding the
range into the final, installed position. A Low Back or
Pot-and-Pan Shelf must be installed when there is less
than 12” clearance from a combustible back wall and
the back of the range above the cooking surface.
• A Flush Island Trim is included for covering the
backguard area of the range for island installations;
however, the Flush Island Trim can only be used where
there is a minimum of 12” horizontal clearance
between a combustible back wall and the back of the
range.
• The backguard is inserted inside the guide channels on
the back of the range, as shown in Figure 16. (Remove
the griddle assembly for sufficient installation clearance
on models with griddle.) Using a T-20 size Torx driver,
fasten the backguard with four (4) Torx-head screws to
the range side panels.
• The Pot-and-Pan Shelf models require pre-assembly of
the top panel to the shell using nine (9) of the enclosed
Torx-head screws. For sufficient load strength, YOU
MUST attach two (2) screws through the back corners
of the top down into the shell.
• To secure the front of the back guard, install three (3) of
the Torx head screws through the lower front panel of
the backguard, into the flange at the back of the
range’s cooktop.
• The Pot-and-Pan Shelf models provide a shelf above
the cooktop to keep foods hot or store cooking pans.
