Step 2: Cabinet Preparation
• The range is a free standing unit. If the unit is to be
placed adjacent to cabinets, the clearances shown in
“Figure 1: Cabinet Clearances” on page 5 are required.
The same clearances apply to island installations,
except for the overhead cabinets, which must have a
space wide enough to accept the flared island hood, as
also indicated in Figure on page 5.
• The gas and electrical supply should be within the
zones shown in Figure 3 on page 7.
• Any openings in the wall behind the range and in the
floor under the range must be sealed.
• When there is less than a 12" (305mm) horizontal
clearance between combustible material and the
back edge of the range above the cooking surface, a
THERMADOR
®
Low Back or High Shelf must be
installed (see Figure 2, page 6). When clearance to
combustible material is over 12" (305mm), the
supplied THERMADOR
®
Flush Island Trim may be
used. Figure 2 indicates the space required for each
type of backguard.
• A 5” (127mm) minimum clearance is needed when the
range is installed beside a combustible side wall.
• Always keep appliance area clear from combustible
materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and
liquids.
• Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation
air to the unit.
As defined in the “National Fuel Gas Code” (ANSI
Z223.1, Current Edition).
CAUTION:
Do not install the range such that the oven door
is flush with the cabinet face. A flush installation
could result in damage to the cabinets due to
exposure to high heat.
Note:
The maximum depth of overhead cabinets installed on
either side of the hood is 13" (330mm).
There is a 36” (914mm) minimum clearance required
between the top of the cooking surface and the bottom of
an unprotected cabinet. A 30” (762mm) clearance can be
used when the bottom of the wood or metal cabinet is
protected by not less than 1/4” (6mm) of a flame retardant
material covered with not less than No. 28 MSG sheet
steel, 0.015” (0.38 mm) thick stainless steel, 0.024” (0.61
mm) aluminum, or 0.02” (0.51 mm) thick copper.
Flame retardant materials bear the mark:

followed by the flame spread and smoke ratings. These
designations are shown as “FHC (FIame Spread/Smoke
Developed).” Materials with “O” flame spread ratings are
flame retardant. Local codes may allow other flame spread
ratings. It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure
installation is in accordance with these ratings.
