INTRODUCTION

The Thermador Professional® Ranges are free- standing units available in a number of configurations. All models feature a gas cooking surface with a professional size, electric convection, self-cleaning oven with convection broil capability.

GAS TYPE VERIFICATION

Verify the type of gas supplied to the location. Ensure that the appliance is connected to the type of gas for which it is certified. All models are certified for use with natural gas. Field conversion of the appliance for use with propane gas supply will require a conversion kit. Make certain your range and gas type are the same. Refer to the product rating label which can be located as indicated on Page 37.

CAUTION

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 inches water column (34.9 mb) from the propane gas tank to the pressure regulator.

IMPORTANT

All ranges must be installed with a backguard. The 30" model comes with a low back. For all other models, one of three available backguards must be ordered separately and installed at the back of the range. The three backguard choices include a Low Back, Pot and Pan Shelf, or Island Trim. Before using the range, insure that it is equipped with a proper backguard. DO NOT attempt to use a backguard that is not designed to fit your particular model range. Refer to the Instal- lation Instructions accompanying this appliance for more information.
