Step 3: Unpacking And Moving The Range - Thermador PROFESSIONAL PRO GRAND Installation Instructions Manual

Installation of the range must be planned so that the rough-
in of the terminal block for the receptacle will allow
maximum clearance to the rear of the unit. To minimize
binding when the unit is connected to the receptacle or
terminal block, orient the receptacle and slide back into
position.
When the power supply cord is connected to the mating
receptacle, the combined plug/receptacle connection
should protrude no more than 2'' (51 mm) from the rear
wall, see Figure 6.
STEP 3: Unpacking and
Moving the Range
Unpacking the Range
1. Remove the outer carton and packing materials from
the shipping pallet but leave the adhesive-backed foam
layer over brushed-metal surfaces, to protect finish
from scratches, until the range is installed in its final
position.
2. Remove the door(s) (see "STEP 4: Door Removal and
Adjustment" on page 13). This will create an estimated
reduction in the weight as shown in Table 1 and allow
the range to pass through 30" (762 mm) doorways (see
clearances beginning on page 8).
3. The grates, griddle plate, burner caps, and oven racks
must be removed to facilitate handling. Do not remove
the griddle element and tray assembly.

CAUTION
DO NOT lift the range by the oven door's
handle, as this may damage the door hinges
and cause the door to fit incorrectly.
DO NOT lift the appliance by the range's
control panel.
The unit is heavy and should be handled
accordingly. Proper safety equipment such
as gloves and adequate manpower of at
least two people must be used in moving the
range to avoid injury and to avoid damage to
the unit or the floor.
Rings, watches, and any other loose items that may
damage the unit or otherwise might become entangled
with the unit should be removed.
Hidden surfaces may have sharp edges. Use caution
when reaching behind or under appliance.
DO NOT use a hand truck or appliance dolly on the back
or front of the unit. Handle from the side only.
Due to the weight, it is strongly recommended that a
furniture dolly with soft wheels or an air lift should be used
to move this unit. The weight must be supported uniformly
across the bottom.
All ranges are held to the pallet by (4) bolts through a wood
block center. The two front pallet bolts are accessible only
after removing the Door Trim located beneath the doors.
