Guard Strip

The back panel of backguard is positioned inside these two guide channels on the back of the range.

WARNING

•To avoid possible burn or fire hazard, a backguard designed specifically for this range must be installed whenever the range is used.

•DO NOT attempt to install a Thermador "GP" Series Backguard, which has air holes in the back panel to supply (only) one cooling fan. [See above]

CAUTION

The Pot and Pan Shelf can get very hot!

DO NOT place the following items on top of the Pot and Pan Shelf:

-plastics or containers that can melt

-flammable items

-a total load over 30 pounds (13.6kg)

6” or 9” LOW BACK:

6” Low Back – included with 30" models. Model DFP36LB (9”) – for 36" models. 22” POT-and-PAN SHELF:

Model DFP30HS – for 30" models. Model DFP36HS – for 36" models.

3” ISLAND TRIM:

Model DFP30IT – for 30" models.

Model DFP36IT – for 36" models.

·The backguard must be attached before sliding the range into the final, installed position. A Low Back or Pot-and-Pan Shelf must be installed when there is less than 12” clearance from a combustible back wall and the back of the range above the cooking surface. SEE RANGE INSTALLATION MANUAL.

·An Island Trim is available for covering the backguard area of the range for island installations; however, the Island Trim can only be used where there is a minimum of 12” horizontal clearance between a combustible back wall and the back of the range.

·The backguard is inserted inside the guide channels on the back of the range, as shown in the illustration. (Remove the griddle or grill assembly for sufficient installation clearance on GE or GL model ranges.) Using a T-20 size Torx driver, fasten the backguard with four Torx-head (4) screws to the range side panels.

·The Pot-and-Pan Shelf models require pre-assembly of the top panel to the shell using nine (9) of the enclosed Torx-head screws. For sufficient load strength, YOU MUST attach two (2) screws through the back corners of the top down into the shell.

·Use (3) Torx head screws to install the guard strip on the back of the range, as shown in the illustration. The center of the strip may be supported by a tab from the back panel, and not require a screw.

·To secure the front of the back guard, install three

(3) of the Torx head screws through the lower front panel of the backguard, into the flange at the back of the range’s cooktop.

·The Pot-and-Pan Shelf models provide a shelf above the cooktop to keep foods hot or store cooking pans. OBSERVE CAUTIONS ON THE LEFT.
