READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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. Ranges are certified for use with only natural gas
or propane (LP) gas. Make certain the range matches the
gas type available; these ranges are NOT convertible
between gas types.
Gas Supply:
Natural Gas — 6 inch water column. (14.9 mb) min., 14
inch (34.9 mb) maximum
Propane Gas — 11 inch water column. (27.4 mb) min., 14
inch (34.9 mb) maximum
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" water column (34.9
mb) from the propane gas tank to the pressure regulator.
Electric Power Supply:
See "Step 6: Electrical Requirements, Connection &
Grounding" on page 15 for specifications.
Check local building codes for the proper method of
appliance installation. Local codes vary and it is the
responsibility of the installer to ensure installation is in
accordance with these codes. 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.
This appliance complies with one or more of the
following standards:
• UL 858, Standard for the Safety of Household Electric
Ranges
• ANSI Z21.1, American National Standard for
Household Cooking Gas Appliances
• CAN 1-1.1-M81, Domestic Gas Ranges
English 2
• CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 61-M89 Household Cooking
Ranges
It is the responsibility of the owner and the installer to
determine if additional requirements and/or standards
apply to specific installations.
IMPORTANT:
When installing against a combustible surface, a High Shelf
or Low Backguard is required. A THERMADOR
Shelf or Low Backguard must be purchased separately.
See Step 7 for backguard, kits and installation information.
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.
Refer to the "Chart C: Backguard Kit Model Numbers" on
page 16, 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.
CAUTION!
This unit is designed as a cooking appliance. Based on
safety considerations, never use it for warming or
heating a room.
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.
WARNING!
To avoid possible burn or fire hazard, a backguard
designed specifically for this range must be installed
whenever the range is used.
