PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
Gas Type Verification
Rangetops are shipped by the factory to operate on natural
gas. 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 (PLPKIT). Field
conversion must be done by qualified service personnel
only.
IMPORTANT:
When installing against a combustible surface, a Low
Backguard is required. A THERMADOR
®
Low Backguard
must be purchased separately. See the Installation Manual
for backguard and installation information.
When using the Flush Island Trim, THERMADOR
recommends a minimum 12” (305 mm) rear clearance to a
combustible surface (see the Installation Manual for
clearance requirements). Clearances from non-
combustible materials are not part of the ANSI Z21.1 scope
and are not certified by CSA. Clearances of less than 12”
(305 mm) must be approved by the local codes and/or by
the local authority having jurisdiction.
Before using the rangetop, ensure that it is equipped with a
proper backguard. Refer to the Installation Manual
accompanying this appliance for more information.
