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.
WARNING
To avoid possible burn or fire hazard, a backguard designed specifically for this range must be installed whenever the range is used.
Refer to the Backguard Installation instructions on page 16, for the correct backguard models that are designed for this range. After selecting the correct backguard, the range must be installed properly, using the minimum clearances to combustible surfaces speci- fied in the Cabinet Preparation instructions on pages 4 and 5.
Gas Supply:
Natural Gas – 6 inch water column. (14.9 mb) min., 14 inch (34.9 mb) maximum
Propane Gas – 11 inch water column. (27.4 mb) min., 14 inch (34.9 mb) maximum
Electric Power Supply:
(See pages 12 and 13 for specifications.)
CAUTION
When connecting the unit to propane gas, make certain the propane gas tank is equipped with its own
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
•A backguard must be utilized when there is less than a 12” horizontal clearance between combustible materi- als and the back edge of the range. A Thermador backguard must be ordered separately and installed at the rear of the range (A Low Back is supplied with 30" model). For island installations and other installations 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.
This appliance has been tested in accordance with ANSI Z21.1, Standard for Household Cooking Appliances (USA) and in accordance with CAN
It is strongly recommended that this appliance be installed in conjunction with a suitable overhead vent hood. (See Step 1 for Ventilation Requirements.) Due to the high heat capability of this unit, particular attention should be paid to the hood and duct work installation to assure it meets local building codes.
Check local building codes for the proper method of appli- ance installation. Local codes vary. Installation, electrical connections and grounding must comply with all applicable codes. In the absence of local codes the appliance should be installed in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 current issue and National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70- current issue. In Canada, installation must be in accordance with the CAN
