Step 2: Cabinet Preparation

•The range is a free standing unit. If the unit is to be placed adjacent to cabinets, the clearances shown in “Figure 1: Cabinet Clearances” on page 5 are required. The same clearances apply to island installations, except for the overhead cabinets, which must have a space wide enough to accept the flared island hood, as also indicated in Figure on page 5.

•The gas and electrical supply should be within the zones shown in Figure 3 on page 7.

•Any openings in the wall behind the range and in the floor under the range must be sealed.

•When there is less than a 12" (305mm) horizontal clearance between combustible material Δ and the back edge of the range above the cooking surface, a THERMADOR® Low Back or High Shelf must be installed (see Figure 2, page 6). When clearance to combustible material Δ is over 12" (305mm), the supplied THERMADOR® Flush Island Trim may be used. Figure 2 indicates the space required for each type of backguard.

•A 5” (127mm) minimum clearance is needed when the range is installed beside a combustible side wall.

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

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

ΔAs defined in the “National Fuel Gas Code” (ANSI Z223.1, Current Edition).

CAUTION:

Do not install the range such that the oven door is flush with the cabinet face. A flush installation could result in damage to the cabinets due to exposure to high heat.

Note:

The maximum depth of overhead cabinets installed on either side of the hood is 13" (330mm).

There is a 36” (914mm) minimum clearance required between the top of the cooking surface and the bottom of an unprotected cabinet. A 30” (762mm) clearance can be used when the bottom of the wood or metal cabinet is protected by not less than 1/4” (6mm) 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.
