STEP6: ELECTRICALREQUIREMENTS,CONNECTIONS&GROUNDING

CASE 2: Electrical Connections and Grounding with a 4-Conductor Power Supply (to be used only when local codes do not per- mit grounding through the neutral).

Secure the neutral (white) wire of the supply circuit to the neutral terminal of the NEMA 14-50R receptacle. Connect the L1 (black) and the L2 (red) hot leads to the other termi- nals on the NEMA 14-50R receptacle. Con- nect a separate ground (green) wire to the grounding terminal of the NEMA 14-50R receptacle.

If range is hard-wired to power supply, follow the instructions for permanent connection on pages 17 and 18. The ground wire must be

brought out to the junction box on the range and connected to the box, per the instructions.

Ensure that the house supply wires and all electrical connections meet require- ments of all applicable codes.

DO NOT GROUND TO A GAS SUPPLY PIPE.

Improper grounding will cause malfunction (such as continuous sparking of the burner igniters), may damage this appliance, and could create a condition of shock hazard at the igniter of each burner. It is the responsibility and obligation of the installer or user to ensure that the appliance is properly grounded.

STEP7:BACKGUARDINSTALLATION

The backguard must be attached before sliding the range into the final installed position. A Low Back or High Shelf backguard must be installed when there is less than a 12" clearance between combustibles and the back of the range above the cooking surface. (See Fig. 2a and 2b).

An Island Trim is available for covering the backguard mounting flanges for island installations, where there is a minimum of 12" of horizontal clearance between combustibles and the back of the range. (See Fig. 2c).

The backguard is inserted, as shown in Fig. 22, into the guide channels on the back of the range. Secure the backguard with the (4) sheet metal screws provided.

For installation of backguards

on all models, refer to the following instructions on Page 21.

Furthermore, the PRG series includes an innovative simmer setting that enables precise low-heat cooking, perfect for delicate sauces or melting chocolate.

Thermador has integrated their patented Star Burner design in both models. This unique feature provides a larger flame spread compared to traditional round burners. Consequently, it allows for better heat distribution, significantly enhancing cooktop efficiency. The cooktop is designed with six burners, giving chefs the flexibility to cook multiple dishes simultaneously without sacrificing performance.

The ovens in the PRG30 and PRG36 are equally impressive, featuring a spacious capacity of 4.4 cubic feet. The Convection Bake function circulates air for optimal baking results, ensuring even browning and consistent cooking. The models also include a number of innovative cooking modes, such as the Bake, Broil, and Roast settings, enhancing the overall cooking experience.

Additionally, self-cleaning options simplify maintenance, allowing for effortless cleaning after extensive use. The design of the PRG series is complemented by a sleek stainless-steel exterior that not only adds elegance to the kitchen but is also durable and easy to maintain.
