Important Installation Information
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.
WARNING:
To avoid possible burn or fire hazard, a
backguard designed specifically for this range
must be installed whenever the range is used.
Refer to "Chart C: Backguard Kit Model Numbers" on
page 18, for the correct backguard models that are
designed for this range. After selecting the correct
backguard, the range must be installed properly, using the
minimum clearances to combustible surfaces specified in
"Step 2: Cabinet Preparation" on page 4.
Important:
• A backguard must be utilized when there is less than a
12" horizontal clearance between combustible
materials and the back edge of the range. A
Thermador backguard must be ordered separately and
installed at the rear of the range. (A Low Back is
supplied with the 30" model.) For island installations
and other installations 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: Gas Requirements
and Hookup" on page 11 before proceeding with the
installation.
