There are three sizes of Thermador Professional Rangetops to choose from—30-inch, 36-inch and

InSTaLLaTIOn COnSIDERaTIOnS

The information in this design guide provides key features, product dimensions, cutouts and installation specifications. Before installing a Thermador Professional Rangetop, be sure to verify the cutout dimensions and electrical/gas connections. Also, always consult with the installation manual packed with the product for complete details before installing.

Thermador Professional Rangetops may be installed above a Thermador Warming Drawer to create a convenient cooking center. A minimum 2 3/4" clearance is required between the bottom of the rangetop and the top of the warming drawer. Refer to the warming drawer section for additional specifications.

ELECTRICaL anD GaS SPECIFICaTIOnS

Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician. Installation, electrical and

gas connections, and grounding must comply with all applicable local codes.

Thermador Professional Rangetops are equipped with a 3-prong plug and are designed to be connected to a 120V AC, 60 Hz, single-phase power supply. A dedicated circuit breaker is required.

Rangetops are shipped by the factory to operate on natural gas. They must be converted for use with propane. Verify that the type of gas being used at the installation site matches the type of gas used by the appliance. If the location/job site requires conversion from natural gas to propane (LP), order PALPKITHC. Field conversion must be done by qualified service personnel only. Please refer to the LP Conversion Instructions for further information.

A manual gas shut-off valve must be installed external to the appliance, in a location accessible from the front, for the purpose of shutting off the gas supply. The supply line must not interfere with the back of the unit.

VEnTILaTIOn REQuIREmEnTS

We strongly recommend that a Thermador Professional Wall or Island Hood or Custom Insert be installed with all Thermador Professional Rangetops. Downdraft ventilation should not be used. Do not install a microwave-hood combination above the rangetop, as these types of units do not provide the proper ventilation and are not suitable for use with Thermador Professional Rangetops.

For high output gas cooktops or rangetops (60,000 BTu or greater), the minimum of one (1) CFM of ventilation per 100 BTu is recommended. If the cooktop or rangetop has a grill or griddle, add 200 CFM to the estimated blower capacity. Additional blower capacity may be required for longer duct runs.

The following table indicates the ventilation hood options and blower capacity guidelines that are recommended for use with Thermador Professional Rangetops. Refer to the Ventilation section or www.Thermador.com for a complete selection of Professional ventilation options, blowers, and accessories.

ImPORTanT VEnTILaTIOn nOTES:

•Due to high surface temperature output, the HPWB Professional Series Wall Hoods or the Professional Custom Inserts are recommended ventilation solutions for these rangetops. The PH Professional Series Wall Hoods are also a viable option, however the 27" depth for the PH series may not be suitable to all applications.

•For wall installations, the hood width must, at a minimum, equal the nominal width of the appliance cooking surface. Where space permits, a hood larger in width than the cooking surface may be desirable for improved ventilation performance.

•For island installations the hood width should, at a minimum, overhang the appliance cooking surface by 3" on each side.

•Due to the high heat capability of these rangetops, particular attention should be paid to the hood and duct work installation to assure it meets local building codes.

•For best smoke elimination, the lower edge of the hood should be installed 30" above the appliance cooking surface.

•If the hood contains any combustible materials (i.e., a wood covering), it must be 40"or greater distance above the cooking surface.
