Important Installation Information
WARNING :
To avoid possible burn or fire hazard, a
backguard designed specifically for this range
must be installed whenever the range is used.
Refer to the “Chart C: Backguard Kit Model Numbers”
on page 14, for the correct backguard models that are
designed for this range. After selecting the correct
backguard, the range must be installed properly, using
the minimum clearances to combustible surfaces
specified in the Cabinet Preparation instructions on
page 4.
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. A
Thermador backguard must be ordered separately and
installed at the rear of the range. A Low Back is
supplied with the 30“ model, and all other models are
supplied with a Flush Island Trim. 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 11 before
proceeding with the installation.
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.

circuit.
48" Models:
6 Burners with Griddle — 120 VAC, 60 Hz., 1Ph., 20 Amp
circuit.
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
must not exceed 14.0 inches water column
(34.9 mb) from the propane gas tank to the
pressure regulator.
CAUTION:
This unit is designed as a cooking appliance.
Based on safety considerations, never use it for
warming or heating a room.
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.
This appliance complies with one or more of the following
standards:
• UL 858, Standard for the Safety of Household Electric
Ranges
• UL 923, Standard for the Safety of Microwave Cooking
Appliances
• UL 507, Standard for the Safety of Electric Fans
• ANSI Z21.1, American National Standard for
Household Cooking Gas Appliances
• CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 113-08 Fans and Ventilators
• CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 61-08 Household Cooking
Ranges
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 70 -current
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.
It is the responsibility of the owner and the installer to
determine if additional requirements and/or standards
apply to specific installations.
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 following table indicates the ventilation hood
options and blower capacity guidelines that are
recommended for use with all Thermador ranges.
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.
