Thermador PCG48, PCG36, PCG30 installation manual Notes, Back, Vent

10.There is a 36” (914 mm) minimum clearance required between the top of the cooking surface and the bottom of an unprotected cabinet. A 30” (762 mm) clearance can be used when the bottom of the wood or metal cabinet is protected by not less than 1/4” (6 mm) of a flame retardant material covered with not less than No. 28 MSG sheet steel, 0.015” (0.38 mm) thick stainless steel, 0.024” (0.61 mm) aluminum, or 0.02” (0.51 mm) thick copper.

Flame retardant materials bear the 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. It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure installation is in accordance with these ratings.

11.Establish the centerline of the rangetop’s desired location. It should be the same as the center of the overhead ventilation hood.

12.Cut the openings for the following installations:

•Wall installation, see Figure 3.

•Island installation, see Figure 4.

13.For installation of a 48" rangetop above two side-by- side THERMADOR® warming drawers (WD24), refer to Figure 8. Completing the installation as per Figure 8 will result in the left and right edges of the rangetop being aligned with the left edge of the left-side warming drawer and right edge of the right-side warming drawer. If different alignment is desired, the 1Ǭ” (48 mm) horizontal distance between warming drawer cutouts may be varied. However, maintain at least a 1ǩ”

(29 mm) distance to avoid interference between the warming drawers. Attach a 90-degree elbow to the gas rangetop inlet pipe. All above-the-countertop clearances must be maintained, as shown in Figure 1.

NOTES:

•If a solid side cabinet wall exists on one or both sides, you will need to notch the front corner of the cabinet to match the countertop notch and to allow clearance for the rangetop front (see Detail A, Figure 3 and Figure 4).

•If a supporting deck is used, the sides or bottom of the cutout may be solid combustible or non-combustible material. If the bottom is solid, provide a 12" by 12" (305 x 305 mm) cutout in the left rear corner of the supporting deck. This will provide clearance for the gas inlet and power cord.

•Always keep appliance area clean and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.

•Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air to the unit.

		WARNING:
		DO NOT block or obstruct the flow of air
		through the ventilation openings. The vent
		is located at the back of the appliance. The
		vent needs to be unobstructed and open to
		provide necessary airflow that is important
Low	Back	for proper performance.
		DO NOT touch vent area while the
Vent		appliance is on and for several minutes
		after the appliance is off. Some parts of the
		vent and surrounding areas become hot
		enough to cause burns. Allow appliance
		sufficient time to cool before touching or
		cleaning vent areas.
		DO NOT position plastic or other heat-
		sensitive items on or near the vent. These
		items could melt or ignite.
