INTRODUCTION
The Thermador PROFESSIONAL

tions. Models PSC486GD, PSC486GL, PSC484GG

ers and a grill, four sealed burners with a griddle

IMPORTANT
All Cooktops having less than 12" (305 mm)
horizontal clearance between combustible
materials and the back edge of the Cooktop
must be installed with a Thermador Low Back
Backguard. If more than 12" (305 mm) hori-
zontal clearance exists, a Thermador Island
Trim may be used instead of the backguard.
Before using the Cooktop, insure that it is
equipped with the appropriate Low Back
Backguard or Island Trim. Refer to the Instal-
lation Instructions accompanying this appli-
ance for more information.
CAUTION
When connecting the unit to propane gas,
make certain the propane gas tank is
equipped with its own high-pressure regula-
tor in addition to the pressure regulator sup-
plied with the range. The pressure of the gas
supplied to the appliance regulator must not
exceed 14" (34.57 mB) water column.

Cooktops are shipped by the factory to operate
on natural gas. Verify 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 a conversion from
one type of gas to another, contact the dealer
where the unit was purchased or contact
Thermador (800/735-4328). The field conversion
kit for all Professional cooktops (PSC series) is
