INTRODUCTION

The Thermador Professional® Ranges are free- standing units available in a number of configurations. All models feature a gas cooking surface with a professional size, gas convection, self-cleaning oven with broil capability.

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. Models come from the factory certified for use with natural gas or with propane (LP) gas. Make certain your range and gas type are the same. Refer to the product rating label which can be located as indicated on Page 39.

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 maximum gas pressure to this appliance must not exceed 14.0 inches water column (34.9 mb) from the propane gas tank to the pressure regulator.

IMPORTANT

All ranges must be installed with a backguard. The 30" model comes with a Low Back. For all other models, one of three available backguards must be ordered separately and installed at the back of the range. The three backguard choices include a Low Back, Pot and Pan Shelf, or Island Trim. Before using the range, insure that it is equipped with a proper backguard. Refer to the Installation Instructions accompanying this appliance for more information.

This manual contains important Care and Use information for all Thermador Professional® Ranges. When using this manual, it is critical that you know the model number of your range, as some information will be unique to each range. The model number may be found on the rating plate located on the range as identified on Page 39 of this manual. The charts on the following pages summarize the various range models and identify the features of each range.
