Important Installation Information

GAS Type Verification
Verify that the appliance is correct for the type of gas
provided at installation location. Ensure that the appliance is
connected to the type of gas for which it is certified. Before
proceeding with the installation refer to "Step 6: Gas
Requirements and Hookup" on page 14.
All models are certified for use with natural gas. Field
conversion of the appliance for use with propane gas supply
will require installation of conversion kit supplied with the
range (service number 553182). Only a qualified service
technician or installer should make this conversion. See LP
Conversion Kit Instruction for full installation information.
:
Gas Supply
Natural Gas – 6" water column (14.9 mb) min., 14"
(34.9 mb) maximum
Propane Gas – 11" water column (27.4 mb) min., 14"
(34.9 mb) maximum
Electric Power Supply:
See "Step 7: Electrical Requirements, Connection &
Grounding" on page 16 for specifications.
Check local building codes for the proper method of
appliance installation. Installation, electrical connections
and grounding must comply with all applicable codes. Local
codes vary and it is the responsibility of the installer to
ensure installation is in accordance with these codes. In the
absence of local codes the appliance should be installed in
accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/
NFPA 54 current issue and National Electrical Code ANSI/
NFPA 70-current issue. In Canada, installation must be in
accordance with the CAN 1-B149.1 and .2 – Installation
Codes for Gas Burning Appliances and/or local codes.
WARNING:
To avoid possible burn or fire hazard, a backguard
designed specifically for this range must be installed
whenever the range is used.

IMPORTANT:
When installing against a combustible surface, a High Shelf
or Low Backguard is required. A THERMADOR
Shelf or Low Backguard must be purchased separately.
See Step 8 on page 19 for backguard and installation
information.
When using the Flush Island Trim, THERMADOR
recommends a minimum 12" (305 mm) rear clearance to a
combustible surface (see Figure 1, Cabinet Clearances).
Clearances from non-combustible materials are not part of
the ANSI Z21.1 scope and are not certified by
CSA. Clearances of less than 12" (305 mm) must be
approved by the local codes and/or by the local authority
having jurisdiction.
Refer to "Backguard Kit Model Numbers" on page 24, 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.
It is strongly recommended that this appliance be installed
in conjunction with a suitable overhead vent hood (see
"Step 1: Ventilation Requirements" on page 3). Due to the
high heat capability of this unit, particular attention should
be paid to the hood and duct work installation to assure it
meets local building codes.
When connecting the unit to propane gas, make certain
the propane gas tank 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" water column (34.9
mb) from the propane gas tank to the pressure regulator.
This unit is designed as a cooking appliance. Based on
safety considerations, never use it for warming or
heating a room.
To eliminate risk of burns or fire caused by reaching over
heated surface units, cabinet storage located above the
surface units should be avoided.
