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 clear- ances apply to island installations, except for the overhead cabinets, which must have a space wide enough to accept the flared island hood as indicated in Fig. 1.

2.The 36" ranges may be recessed into the cabi- nets beyond the edge of the front face of the oven (See Figures 2A and 2B). The 30" and 48" ranges are not approved to be installed flush with the cabinets.

CAUTION

In these installations, the door and cabinet on 36-inch models can cause a pinching hazard.

3.The gas and electrical supply should be within the zones shown in Fig. 3A.

Note: The maximum depth of over head cabinets installed on either side of the hood is 13".

A36-inch minimum clearance is required between the top of the range and the bottom of an unprotected cabinet. It is recommended that the bottom of the wood or metal cabinet be protected by not less than 1/4 inch of a flame retardant material covered with not less than No. 28 MSG sheet steel, 0.015 inch (0.38 mm) thick stainless steel, 0.024 inch (0.6 mm) alumi- num, or 0.020 inch (0.5 mm) thick copper. Flame retardant materials bear the following mark:

UNDERWRITERS LABORATORIES INC. CLASSIFIED MINERAL AND FIBER BOARDS SURFACE BURNING CHARACTERISTICS Followed by the flame spread and smoke ratings, these designations are shown as “FHC (FIame Spread/Smoke Developed).” Materials with “O” flame spread ratings are flame retardant. Local codes may allow other flame spread ratings.

4.Any openings in the wall behind the range and in the floor under the range must be sealed.

5.When there is less than a 12" horizontal clear- ance between combustible material and the back edge of the range above the cooking sur- face, a Thermador Low Back or Pot and Pan Shelf must be installed. (See Fig. 2A). When clearance to combustible material is over 12", a Thermador Island Trim may be used. (See Fig. 2B). Figures 2A and 2B indicate the space re- quired for each type of backguard.

6.A three (3) inch minimum clearance is needed when the range is installed beside a combustible side wall.

7.Always keep appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flam- mable vapors and liquids.

8.Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ven- tilation air to the unit.
