Step 3: Unpacking, Moving, &
Anchoring the Rangetop
• Verify that the appliance is correct for the type of gas
being provided. Refer to Step 4 before proceeding with
the installation.
• Remove the outer carton and packing material from the
shipping base. Ensure that you have
all rangetop
components before proceeding.
• Remove the cooking grates, griddle plate (if
applicable), and burner caps
to reduce rangetop’s
weight.
•
Leave adhesive-backed foam layer
over brushed-metal
surfaces, to protect finish from scratches, until the
rangetop is installed in its final position.
• Using a Phillips head screwdriver, remove the three
mounting brackets securing the rangetop to the pallet.
Discard the screws and brackets after removal.
• Attach the backguard before sliding the appliance into
the final installed position (see Step 6).
• Lift and place the rangetop in the countertop opening.
Be careful not to pinch the power cord or gas inlet.
Care should be used not to scratch the countertop.
• Make sure that the power cord is free and hanging
loose.
• The rangetop must be level for proper performance.
• Replace the cooking grates, griddle plate, and burner
caps. Ensure that the burner caps are correctly seated
on the burner bases.
Griddle Tilt Adjustment (not all models)
Check the griddle adjustment by pouring two tablespoons
of water on the back of the griddle plate (Figure 10). The
water should slowly roll into the grease tray. If not, adjust
the two screws under the back of the plate. Start with one
half turn counter-clockwise (CCW) of the screws. Further
adjustment should be made by one-quarter turn until water
slowly flows into the grease tray.
Step 4: Gas Requirements and
Hookup
Rangetops are shipped by the factory to operate on
natural gas.They must be converted for use with
propane. Verify the type of gas being used at the
installation site matches the type of gas used by the
appliance.
If the location site requires conversion from natural gas to
propane (LP), contact the dealer where the unit was
purchased or contact THERMADOR
®
to purchase a
conversion kit. The field conversion kit for the rangetops in
this series is THERMADOR Model PALPKITHC. Obey all
instructions in this kit for correct conversion of the gas
regulator and settings for the gas valves. Field conversion
must be done by qualified service personnel only.
CAUTION:
Proper equipment and adequate manpower
must be used in moving the appliance to
avoid damage and/or personal injury. The unit
is heavy and should be handled accordingly.
