Important Installation Information
It is strongly recommended that this appliance be installed in conjunction with a suitable overhead vent hood. (See “Step 1: Ventilation Requirements”.)
Check local building codes for the proper method of appliance installation. Local codes vary. Installation, electrical connections and grounding must comply with all applicable codes. In the absence of local codes the appliance should be installed in accordance with the National Electric Code ANSI Z223.1 current issue and National Gas Code ANSI/NFPA 70 – current issue. In Canada, installation must be in accordance with the CAN
This appliance is equipped with an intermittent/interrupted ignition device that cycles the two far left surface burners on and off when in the ExtraLow setting.
CAUTION
(1) When connecting the unit to propane gas, make certain the propane gas tank is equipped with its own
(2)This unit is designed as a cooking appliance. Based on safety considerations, never use it for warming or heating a room.
Due to the high heat of the cooktop burners, installing a microwave oven with a ventilation system over the cooktop is not recommended.
This appliance complies with one or more of the following standards:
•UL 858, Standard for the Safety of Household Electric Ranges
•UL 923, Standard for the Safety of Microwave Cooking Appliances
•UL 507, Standard for the Safety of Electric Fans
•ANSI Z21.1 American National Standard for Household Cooking Gas Appliances
•
•
It is the responsibility of the owner and the installer to determine if additional requirements and/or standards apply to specific installations.
CAUTION
To eliminate risk of burns or fire caused by reaching over heated surface units, cabinet storage located above the surface units should be avoided.
Remove all tape and packaging before using the appliance. Destroy the packaging after unpacking the appliance. Never allow children to play with packaging material.
Step 1: Ventilation Requirements
It is strongly recommended that a suitable exhaust hood be installed above the appliance. Downdraft ventilation should not be used. The following table indicates the ventilation hood options and blower capacity guidelines that are recommended for use with all Thermador cooktops.
Due to the high heat capability of this unit, particular attention should be paid to the hood and duct work installation to assure it meets local building codes.
Do not install a microwave oven/ ventilator combination above the cooktop, as these types of units do not provide the proper ventilation and are not suitable for use with the cooktop.
Select Hood and Blower Models:
•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.
Hood Placement:
•For best smoke elimination, the lower edge of the hood should be installed 30" above the appliance cooking surface. (See Figure 1).
•If the hood contains any combustible materials (i.e., a wood covering), it must be installed a minimum of 40” above the cooking surface.
NOTICE:
Most hoods contain combustible components which must be considered when planning the installation.
