Rangetops are shipped by the factory to operate
on natural gas. They must be converted for use with
propane. Verify that the type of gas being used at the
installation site matches the type of gas used by the
appliance. If the location/job site requires conversion
from natural gas to propane (LP), order PALPKITHC. Field
conversion must be done by qualified service personnel
only. Please refer to the LP Conversion Instructions for
further information.
A manual gas shut-off valve must be installed external to
the appliance, in a location accessible from the front, for
the purpose of shutting off the gas supply. The supply
line must not interfere with the back of the unit.

VEnTILaTIOn REQuIREmEnTS
We strongly recommend that a Thermador Professional Wall or Island
Hood or Custom Insert be installed with all Thermador Professional
Rangetops. Downdraft ventilation should not be used. Do not install a
microwave-hood combination above the rangetop, as these types of units
do not provide the proper ventilation and are not suitable for use with
Thermador Professional Rangetops.
For high output gas cooktops or rangetops (60,000 BTU or greater), the
minimum of one (1) CFM of ventilation per 100 BTU is recommended. If the
cooktop or rangetop has a grill or griddle, add 200 CFM to the estimated
blower capacity. Additional blower capacity may be required for longer duct
runs.
The following table indicates the ventilation hood options and
blower capacity guidelines that are recommended for use with
Thermador Professional Rangetops. Refer to the Ventilation section or
www.Thermador.com for a complete selection of Professional ventilation
options, blowers, and accessories.
ImPORTanT VEnTILaTIOn nOTES:
• Due to high surface temperature output, the HPWB Professional Series Wall
Hoods or the Professional Custom Inserts are recommended ventilation
solutions for these rangetops. The PH Professional Series Wall Hoods are
also a viable option, however the 27" depth for the PH series may not be
suitable to all applications.
• 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.
• Due to the high heat capability of these rangetops, particular attention
should be paid to the hood and duct work installation to assure it meets
local building codes.
• For best smoke elimination, the lower edge of the hood should be installed
30" above the appliance cooking surface.
• If the hood contains any combustible materials (i.e., a wood covering), it
must be 40"or greater distance above the cooking surface.
Thermador Professional Rangetops
are CGA and AGA approved.

InSTaLLaTIOn COnSIDERaTIOnS
The information in this design guide provides key
features, product dimensions, cutouts and installation
specifications. Before installing a Thermador Professional
Rangetop, be sure to verify the cutout dimensions and
electrical/gas connections. Also, always consult with the
installation manual packed with the product for complete
details before installing.
Thermador Professional Rangetops may be installed
above a Thermador Warming Drawer to create a
convenient cooking center. A minimum 2
3
/4" clearance
is required between the bottom of the rangetop and the
top of the warming drawer. Refer to the warming drawer
section for additional specifications.
ELECTRICaL anD GaS SPECIFICaTIOnS
Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded
by a qualified technician. Installation, electrical and
gas connections, and grounding must comply with all
applicable local codes.
Thermador Professional Rangetops are equipped with
a 3-prong plug and are designed to be connected to a
120V AC, 60 Hz, single-phase power supply. A dedicated
circuit breaker is required.
