Important Installation Information
It is strongly recommended that this appliance be installed
in conjunction with a suitable overhead vent hood. (See
“Step 1: Ventilation Requirements”.)
Check local building codes for the proper method of
appliance 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 Electric Code ANSI Z223.1 current issue and
National Gas Code ANSI/NFPA 70 – current issue. In
Canada, installation must be in accordance with the CAN
1-B149.1 and .2 – Installation Codes for Gas Burning
Appliances and/or local codes.
This appliance is equipped with an intermittent/interrupted
ignition device that cycles the two far left surface burners
on and off when in the ExtraLow
setting.
CAUTION
(1) When connecting the unit to propane gas,
make certain the propane gas tank is equipped
with its own high-pressure regulator in addition
to the pressure regulator supplied with this unit.
The maximum gas pressure to this appliance is
not to exceed 14.0 inches water column (34.9
mb) from the propane gas tank regulator.
(2) This unit is designed as a cooking appliance.
Based on safety considerations, never use it for
warming or heating a room.
Due to the high heat of the cooktop burners, installing a
microwave oven with a ventilation system over the cooktop
is not recommended.
This appliance complies with one or more of the following
standards:
• UL 858, Standard for the Safety of Household Electric
Ranges
• UL 923, Standard for the Safety of Microwave Cooking
Appliances
• UL 507, Standard for the Safety of Electric Fans
• ANSI Z21.1 American National Standard for Household
Cooking Gas Appliances
• CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 113-M1984 Fans and Ventilators
• CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 61-M89 Household Cooking
Ranges
It is the responsibility of the owner and the installer to
determine if additional requirements and/or standards
apply to specific installations.
CAUTION
To eliminate risk of burns or fire caused by
reaching over heated surface units, cabinet
storage located above the surface units should
be avoided.
Remove all tape and packaging before using the appliance.
Destroy the packaging after unpacking the appliance.
Never allow children to play with packaging material.
Step 1: Ventilation Requirements
It is strongly recommended that a suitable exhaust hood be
installed above the appliance. Downdraft ventilation should
not be used. The following table indicates the ventilation
hood options and blower capacity guidelines that are
recommended for use with all Thermador cooktops.
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.
Do not install a microwave oven/ ventilator combination
above the cooktop, as these types of units do not provide
the proper ventilation and are not suitable for use with the
cooktop.
Select Hood and Blower Models:
• For wall installations the hood width must, at a
minimum, equal the nominal width of the appliance
cooking surface. Where space permits, a hood larger in
width than the cooking surface may be desirable for
improved ventilation performance.
• For island installations the hood width should, at a
minimum, overhang the appliance cooking surface by
3" on each side.
Hood Placement:
• For best smoke elimination, the lower edge of the hood
should be installed 30" above the appliance cooking
surface. (See Figure 1).
• If the hood contains any combustible materials (i.e., a
wood covering), it must be installed a minimum of 40”
above the cooking surface.
NOTICE:
Most hoods contain combustible components which must
be considered when planning the installation.
