Important Installation Information

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.

A backguard must be utilized when there is less than a 12” horizontal clearance between combus- tible materials and the back edge of the range. The Thermador Low Back backguard must be or- dered separately and installed at the rear of the range. For island installations and other installa- tions with more than 12” clearance, an optional stainless steel Island Trim is available to cover the backguard mounting flanges.

Verify that the appliance is correct for the type of gas being provided. Refer to Step 5 on Page 12 before proceeding with the installation.
