Introduction
The Thermador ProfessionaP Ranges are free-stand-
ing units available in a number of configurations. All
models feature a gas cooking surface with a profes-
sional size, electric convection, self-cleaning oven
with broil capability.
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. All models are certified for use
with natural gas. Field conversion of the appliance for
use with propane gas supply will require a conversion
kit. Refer to the product rating label which can be
located as indicated on Page 40.
CAUTION
When connecting the unit to propane gas, make
certain the propane gastank 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.
IMPORTANT
All ranges must be installed with a backguard.
The 30" model comes with a Low Back. For all
other models, one of three available backguards
must be ordered separately and installed at the
back of the range. The three backguard choices
include a Low Back, Pot and Pan Shelf, or Island
Trim. Before using the range, ensure that it is
equipped with a proper backguard. Refer to the
Installation Instructions accompanying this
appliance for more information.
CAUTION:
The Pot and Pan Shelf can get very hot!
DO NOT place on top of the Pot and Pan
Shelf:
• plastics or containers that can melt
• flammable items
• a total load over 30 pounds (13.6kg).
