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.
IMPORTANT
A backguard must be utilized when there is less
than a 12" horizontal clearance between combus-
tible materials and the back edge of the range. The
Thermador Low Back backguard must be or-
dered separately and installed at the rear of the
range. For island installations and other installa-
tions with more than 12" clearance, an optional
stainless steel Island Trim is available to cover the
backguard mounting flanges.
• Verify that the appliance is correct for the type of
gas being provided. Refer to Step 5 on Page 13
before proceeding with the installation.
