· 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.
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.
