Step 2: Cabinet Preparation - Thermador PRG304 Installation Instructions Manual

STEP 2: CABINET PREPARATION

1. 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 clearances
apply to island installations,
except for the overhead cabi-
nets, which must have a space
wide enough to accept the
flared island hood, as indicated
in Fig. 1.
2. The PRDS48 Ranges must be
placed with the oven door
projecting out from the cabinet
face. The cabinet face should
line up with the oven front
frame, which is the surface that
the oven door closes against.
(See Fig. 2b and 2c illustrating
side views of 48" ranges.)
3. The gas and electrical supply
should be within the zones
shown in Fig. 3a, 3b and 3c.

4. The maximum depth of over
head cabinets installed on
either side of the hood is 13".
5. Any openings in the wall behind
the range and in the floor under
the range must be sealed.
6. When there is less than a 12"
horizontal clearance between
combustible material ∆ and the
back edge of the range above
the cooking surface, 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). Except in
the case of 30" Ranges,
backguards must be ordered
separately. Figures 2a, 2b
and 2c indicate the space

7. Always keep appliance area
clear and free from combustible
materials, gasoline and other
flammable vapors and liquids.
8. Do not obstruct the flow of
combustion and ventilation air
to the unit.
CAUTION:
Do not install the Model
PRDS48 ranges such that the
oven door is flush with the
cabinet face. A flush installa-
tion could result in damage to
the cabinets due to exposure
to high heat.
