Installation

Planning Information

Before using your appliance, be sure to read this manual.
Pay special attention to the Important Safety Instructions
located at the beginning of the manual.
TOOLS NEEDED
(2) ½" wrenches
3/16" (4.76 mm) drill bit
Hand or electric drill
Phillips & flathead screwdrivers
Level
T-20 Torx screwdriver
ITEMS NOT INCLUDED
Drywall/Concrete Anchors
Rope/Twine
2 – NPT Flare Adapters
STEP 1: Ventilation
Requirements
Refer to the Ventilation Planning Guide for approved
ventilation combinations.
It is strongly recommended that this appliance be installed
in conjunction with a THERMADOR vent hood. 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.
Downdraft ventilation should not be used. The Ventilation
Planning Guide indicates the ventilation hood options and
blower capacity guidelines that are recommended for use
®
with all THERMADOR ranges.
Due to the high heat of the rangetop burners, do not install
a microwave oven/ventilator combination above the range,
as these types of units do not provide the proper ventilation
and are not suitable for use with the range.
Installation Instructions
1/8" (3.17mm) drill bit
12" Adjustable wrench
Tape measure
Marking instrument
Furniture dolly
Protective gloves
Pipe Compound/Tape
¾" (19 mm) Flex Line
IMPORTANT:
Ventilation hoods and blowers are designed for use with
single wall ducting. However, some local building codes or
inspectors may require double wall ducting. Consult local
building codes and/or local agencies before starting to
assure that hood and duct installation will meet local
requirements.
NOTICE: Most range hoods contain combustible compo-
nents which must be considered when planning the instal-
lation.
WARNING
This appliance should not be installed with a ventilation
system that directs air in a downward direction toward
the range. This type of ventilation system may cause
ignition and combustion problems with the appliance
resulting in personal injury, property damage, or
unintended operation. Ventilating systems that direct the
air upwards do not have any restriction.
Ventilation Preparation
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.
• For island installations, the hood width should
overhang the range by a minimum of 3" (76 mm)
on each side.
2. Hood Placement:
• For best smoke elimination, the lower edge of the
hood should be installed 30" (762 mm) above the
range cooking surface.
• If the hood contains any combustible materials (i.e.
a wood covering), it must be installed a minimum of
36" (914 mm) above the cooking surface (see
"Installation Clearances").
3. Consider Make-Up Air:
• Due to the high volume of ventilation air, a source
of outside replacement air is recommended. This is
particularly important for tightly sealed and
insulated homes. A qualified heating and
ventilating contractor should be consulted.
