A backguard must be utilized when there is less than a 12" horizontal clearance between combustible materials and the back edge of the rangetop. The Thermador Low Backguard must be ordered separately and installed at the rear of the rangetop. For island installations and other installations with more than 12" clearance, the provided stainless steel island trim will cover the backguard mounting flanges.

naTuRaL GaS OR LP

Thermador Professional Rangetops are shipped by the factory to operate on natural gas. They must be converted for use with propane. Verify 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 packed with product for further information.

The gas and electrical supply must be located in an area that is accessible without requiring removal of the rangetop. The appliance electrical power cord and gas pipe connection are located on the left rear underside of the rangetop.

The junction box must be located within 3 feet (~900 mm) of the rangetop connection.

ImPORTanT

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. Refer to the ventilation section or www.Thermador.com for a complete selection of Professional ventilation options, blowers, and accessories.
