The 48” models feature a gas cooking surface with six sealed burners and an electric griddle, six sealed burners and a gas grill, four sealed burners with an electric griddle and a gas grill, four sealed burners with a 24” griddle, or four sealed burners with a wok, respectively. The 36” models feature a gas cooking surface with four sealed burners and an electric griddle, four sealed burners and a gas grill, or six sealed burners. The 24” models features either a high output wok burner rated at 30,000 BTU/HR (24,500 BTU/HR using LP/propane) or a 24” wide electric griddle.

IMPORTANT

All Cooktops having less than 12" (305 mm) horizontal clearance between combustible ma- terials and the back edge of the Cooktop must be installed with a Thermador Low Back Back- guard. If more than 12" (305 mm) horizontal clearance exists, a Thermador Island Trim may be used instead of the backguard. Before using the Cooktop, insure that it is equipped with the appropriate Low Back Backguard or Island Trim. Refer to the Installation Instructions accompa- nying this appliance for more information.

Cooktops are shipped by the factory to operate on natural gas. 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 a conversion from one type of gas to another, contact the dealer where the unit was purchased or contact Thermador (800/ 735-4328). The field conversion kit for all Professional cooktops (PC series) is Thermador Model PLPKIT. Field conversion must be done by qualified service personnel only.

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 pressure of the gas supplied to the appli- ance regulator must not exceed 14" (34.9 milli- bars) water column.
