VENTILATION REQUIREMENTSIt is strongly recommended that a suitableexhaust hood be installed above the range.Downdraft ventilation should not be used.The table below indicates the Thermador hoods,by model number, that are recommended foruse with all ranges.Hood blower speeds should be variable toreduce noise and loss of heated or air conditioned household air when maximum ventilation is not required. Normally, the maximumblower speed is only required when using thegrill.1. Select Hood and Blower ModelsFor wall installations, the hood width must, ata minimum, equal the width of the range cooking surface. Where space permits, a hood largerin width than the cooking surface may bedesirable for improved ventilation performance.For island installations, the hood width should,at a minimum, overhang the range cookingsurface by 6″ on both sides.CAUTION: Ventilation hoods and blowersare designed for use with single wall ducting.However, some local building codes or inspectors may require double wall ducting. Consultlocal building codes and/or local agencies,before starting, to assure that hood and ductinstallation will meet local requirements.2. Hood PlacementFor best smoke elimination, the lower edge ofthe hood should be installed a minimum of 30″to a maximum of 36″ above the range cookingsurface.If the hood contains any combustible materials(i.e. a wood covering), it must be a minimum of36″ above the cooking surface.3. Consider Make-Up AirDue to the high volume of ventilation air, asource of outside replacement air is recommended. This is particularly important fortightly sealed and insulated homes.A qualified heating and ventilating contractorshould be consulted.Page 10

CABINET PREPARATION1. The range is a freestanding unit. If the unitis to be placed adjacent to cabinets, theclearances, shown in Figures 1A and 1B,are required. The same clearances apply toisland installations, except for the overhead cabinets, which must have a spacewide enough to accept the flared islandhood.2. The 30″ and 36″ ranges may be recessedinto the cabinets beyond the edge of thefront face of the oven (see Figures 1A & 1B).CAUTIONIn these installations, the door and cabinetcan cause a pinching hazard.3. The gas and electrical supply should bewithin the zones shown in Figures 2A or 2Bon page 12.4. The maximum depth of overhead cabinetsinstalled on either side of the hood is 13″.5. Any openings in the wall behind the rangeand in the floor under the range must besealed.6. When there is less than a 12″ horizontalclearance between combustible materialand the back edge of the range above thecooking surface, a Thermador Low Back orHigh Shelf backguard must be installed(see Figure 1A). When clearance to combustible material is over 12″, a ThermadorIsland Trim may be used (see Figure 1B).Figures 1A and 1B indicate the space required for each type of backguard.7. Always keep appliance area clear and freefrom combustible materials, gasoline andother flammable vapors and liquids.8. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion andventilation air to the unit.Figure 1AFigure 1BPage 11

ELECTRICAL SUPPLY—DUAL FUEL RANGESInstallation of Dual Fuel ranges must beplanned so that the rough-in of the junctionbox for the receptacle or conduit connectionwill allow maximum clearance to the rear ofthe unit.When the power supply cord (not supplied) orconduit is connected to the mating receptacleor junction box cover, the combined plug/receptacle or junction box cover/conduit connector should protrude no more than 2-1/4inches from the rear wall (see Figure 2C ).This is especially critical if the junction box inthe wall will be directly behind the junctionbox on the unit when the unit is installed (seeFigure 7 on Page 20 for location of junction boxon unit). To minimize binding when the unit isconnected to the receptacle or junction box,orient the receptacle or conduit connector, andslide back into position.Figure 2CPage 13

UNPACKING, MOVING, & PLACING THE RANGECAUTIONProper equipment and adequate manpowermust be used in moving the range to avoiddamage to the unit or the floor. The unit isheavy and rests on adjustable steel legs.The range has an approximate shipping weightas shown in Chart A. It is recommended thatthe grates, griddle, burner caps, front kickpanel and oven racks be removed to facilitatehandling. This will reduce the weight as shownin Chart A and allow the range to pass through30″ doorways (see Chart B and Figures 1A and1B on Page 11). Do not remove the grill orgriddle assemblies.Chart ARemove the outer carton and packing materialfrom the shipping base. Remove the front kickpanel (see Figure 3) by removing two (2) screwsat the top and pulling forward. The dual fuelranges are held to the skid by four (4) bolts. Thefront two (2) are behind the kick panel, (seeFigure 3), and the rear two (2) are located onthe bottom flange of the range back (see Figure4). All-gas ranges are held in place by 4 bolts,two (2) as shown in Figure 3, and two (2) at therear as shown in Figure 4. After removing thebolts, the range must be lifted and removedfrom the skid.36″ RangeShipping WeightWeight W/O PackingMaterials444 lbs.390 lbs.After Removing Door(s),burner caps, front kickpanel, and oven racks295 lbs.Chart B36″ RangeDoorway Width Required(Unit Assembled)Doorway Width Required(Oven Door(s) Removed)30-7/8″29-1/2″Figure 4Figure 3Page 14

Due to the weight, a dolly with soft wheelsshould be used to move this unit. The weightmust be supported uniformly across the bottom (see Figure 5).After transporting the professional range bydolly close to its final location, the range can betipped back and supported on the rear legswhile the dolly is carefully removed. THEFLOOR UNDER THE LEGS SHOULD BE PROTECTED (WOOD STRIPS, CARPET, PANELING, ETC.) BEFORE PUSHING THE UNITINTO POSITION. The anti-tip device must beinstalled, gas and electric connections shouldbe made, and the backguard installed beforethe range is placed in its final position.For proper performance the professional rangemust be level. The range is leveled by adjustingthe legs with a wrench. Replace the kick paneland install oven door. It is important that thetwo (2) screws retaining the kick panel aresecure to prevent accidental access to hotsurfaces.Figure 5Page 15
