STEP6:ELECTRICALREQUIREMENTS,CONNECTION&GROUNDING

Recommended Grounding Method – All-Gas Models PRG304, PRG36 and PRG48

The 30," 36" and 48" all-gas ranges are factory equipped with a power supply cord with a three-prong grounding plug (with polarized parallel blades). IT MUST BE PLUGGED INTO A MATING GROUNDING TYPE RECEPTACLE THAT IS CONNECTED TO A CORRECTLY POLARIZED 120 VOLT CIRCUIT. (See Fig. 19). Improper grounding will cause malfunc- tion (such as continuous sparking of the burner igniters), may damage this appliance, and could create a condition of shock hazard at the igniter of each burner. If the circuit does not have a grounding type receptacle, it is the responsibility and obligation of the installer or user to have the existing receptacle changed to a properly grounded receptacle in accordance with all applicable local codes and ordinances by a qualified electrician. In the absence of local codes and ordinances, the receptacle replacement shall be in accordance with the National Electric Code. THE THIRD GROUND PRONG SHOULD NOT,

UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, BE CUT OR REMOVED.

Alternate Grounding Method – All-Gas Models PRG304, PRG36 and PRG48

If installing a properly grounded wall receptacle is impossible at the time of installation, consult your local electrical inspector for permission to connect a temporary adapter (with polarized blades) which could be plugged into your present 2-wire receptacle.

(See Fig. 20). This method is not recommended.

If this is done, you must attach the lug and/or the green adapter wire to the receptacle cover plate screw. Ground from it to a grounded metal cold water pipe. (See Fig. 21).

DO NOT GROUND TO A GAS SUPPLY PIPE.

All ranges must be properly grounded. See the grounding instructions for your installation case, as follows. Refer also to the instructions and Figures on Pages 17 and 18.

CASE 1: Electrical Connection and Grounding with a 3 Conductor Power Supply (To be used when local codes permit grounding through the neutral.) Secure the neutral, grounded wire of the supply circuit to the neutral terminal of the NEMA 10-50R receptacle. Connect the L! (black) and the L2 (red) hot heads to the other terminals on the NEMA 10-50R receptacle. A separate ground wire is not required. Ensure that the house supply wires and all electrical connections meet the requirements of all applicable codes.

Consequently, it allows for better heat distribution, significantly enhancing cooktop efficiency. The cooktop is designed with six burners, giving chefs the flexibility to cook multiple dishes simultaneously without sacrificing performance.

The ovens in the PRG30 and PRG36 are equally impressive, featuring a spacious capacity of 4.4 cubic feet. The Convection Bake function circulates air for optimal baking results, ensuring even browning and consistent cooking. The models also include a number of innovative cooking modes, such as the Bake, Broil, and Roast settings, enhancing the overall cooking experience.

Additionally, self-cleaning options simplify maintenance, allowing for effortless cleaning after extensive use. The design of the PRG series is complemented by a sleek stainless-steel exterior that not only adds elegance to the kitchen but is also durable and easy to maintain.

In terms of safety, both models feature a safety system that prevents accidental ignition and precise temperature control, ensuring a safe cooking environment. With a focus on high performance, cutting-edge technology, and meticulous design, the Thermador PRG30 and PRG36 gas ranges offer an unparalleled cooking experience for culinary enthusiasts looking to elevate their kitchen capabilities.
