Step 2: Cabinet Preparation
The range is a free standing unit. If the unit is to
be placed adjacent to cabinets, the clearances
shown in Fig. 1 are required. The same clear-
ances apply to island installations, except for the
overhead cabinets, which must have a space
wide enough to accept the flared island hood, as
indicated in Fig. 1.
The 36" ranges may be recessed into the cabi-
nets beyond the edge of the front face of the oven
(See Figures 2A and 2B). The 30" and 48" ranges
are not approved to be installed flush with the
cabinets.
Caution
In these installations, the door and cabinet
on 36qnch models can cause a pinching
hazard.

Any openings in the wall behind the range and in
the floor under the range must be sealed.
When there is less than a 12" horizontal clear-
ance between combustible material A and the
back edge of the range above the cooking sur-
face, a Thermador Low Back or High Shelf
backguard must be installed. (See Fig. 2A). When
clearance to combustible material /_ is over 12",
a Thermador Island Trim may be used. (See Fig.
2B). Figures 2A and 2B indicate the space
required for each type of backguard.
Always keep appliance area clear and free from
combustible materials, gasoline and other flam-
mable vapors and liquids.
Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ven-
tilation air to the unit.
The gas and electrical supply should be within
the zones shown in Fig. 3A.
Note: The maximum depth of over head cabinets
installed on either side of the hood is 13".
A 36-inch minimum clearance is required between
the top of the range and the bottom of an unprotected
cabinet. A 30-inch minimum distance is necessary
