CAUTION: This unit is designed as a cooking appliance. Based on safety considerations, never use it for warming or heating a room. This appliance has been tested in accordance with ANSI Z21.1, Standard for Household Cooking Appliances (USA) and in accordance with CAN 1.1-M81 Domestic Gas Ranges (Canadian). It is strongly recommended that this appliance be installed in conjunction with a suitable overhead vent hood. (See Step 1 for Ventilation Requirements.) 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. 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. 113-08 Fans and Ventilators
  • CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 61-08 Household Cooking Ranges 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 Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/ NFPA 54 current issue and National Electrical 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. It is the responsibility of the owner and the installer to determine if additional requirements and/or standards apply to specific installations.English 3 Step 1: Ventilation Requirements It is strongly recommended that a suitable exhaust hood be installed above the range. 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 ranges.

1. Select Hood and Blower Models:

  • For wall installations, the hood width must, at a minimum, equal the width of the range. Where space permits, a hood larger in width than the range may be desirable for improved ventilation performance.
  • For island installations, the hood width should, at a minimum, overhang the range by 3" on each side. Important: Ventilation hoods and blowers are designed for use with single wall ducting. However, some local building codes or inspectors may require double wall ducting. Consult local building codes and/or local agencies, before starting, to assure that hood and duct installation will meet local requirements. Do not install a microwave oven/ventilator combination above the range, as these type of units do not provide the proper ventilation and are not suitable for use with the range.
  • For best smoke elimination, the lower edge of the hood should be installed 30" above the range cooking surface. (See Figure 1). NOTICE: Most range hoods contain combustible components which must be considered when planning the installation.
  • If the hood contains any combustible materials (i.e. a wood covering), it must be installed a minimum of 40" above the cooking surface.

3. Consider Make-Up Air:

  • Due to the high volume of ventilation air, a source of outside replacement air is recommended. This is particularly important for tightly sealed and insulated homes.
  • A qualified heating and ventilating contractor should be consulted. Range Width Range Top Configuration Ventilation Options 30" 4 burners 30" or 36" Pro Wall Hood 30" or 36” Custom Insert w/ optional blower 42" Island Hood w/ optional blower 36" 4 burners with griddle 36" or 42" Pro Wall Hood 36" Custom Insert w/ optional blower 42" or 48" Island Hood w/ optional blower 6 burners 48" 6 burners with griddle 48" or 54" Pro Wall Hood 48" Custom Insert w/ optional blower Important Notes: It is recommended that a Thermador Professional wall or island hood or custom insert is used with Thermador Professional Ranges. The HPWB or PH Professional Series Wall Hoods or the Professional Series Custom Inserts are recommended ventilation solutions for these ranges. Refer to www.Thermador.com for a complete selection of Professional Ventilation options, Blowers, and Accessories.
  • For high output gas ranges (60,000 BTU or greater), the minimum of one (1) CFM of ventilation per 100 BTU is recommended. If the range has a griddle, add 200 CFM to the estimated blower capacity. Additional blower capacity may be required for longer duct runs. For island applications, it is recommended to use a hood width that exceeds the width of the range by 6" (overlapping the range by a minimum of 3" on each end). CFM = “cubic feet per minute” (standard blower capacity rating).English 4 Step 2: Cabinet Preparation

1. The range is a free standing unit. If the unit is to be

placed adjacent to cabinets, the clearances shown in Figure 1 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 indicated in Figure 1.

2. These ranges may be recessed into the cabinets

beyond the edge of the front face of the oven (See Figure 2). CAUTION: In these installations, the door and cabinet can cause a pinching hazard.

3. The gas and electrical supply should be within the zone

shown in Figure 3a. Note: The maximum depth of over head cabinets installed on either side of the hood is 13" (330 mm). A 40-inch minimum clearance is required between the top of the cooking surface and the bottom of an unprotected cabinet. A 30-inch clearance can be used when the bottom of the wood or metal cabinet is protected by not less than 1/4 inch of a flame retardant material covered with not less than No. 28 MSG sheet steel, 0.015 inch (0.4 mm) thick stainless steel, 0.024 inch (0.6 mm) aluminum, or 0.020 inch (0.5 mm) thick copper. Flame retardant materials bear the mark:

CHARACTERISTICS 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.

4. Any openings in the wall behind the range and in the

floor under the range must be sealed.

5. When there is less than a 12" horizontal clearance

between combustible material and the back edge of the range above the cooking surface, a Thermador Low Back or Pot and Pan Shelf must be installed. (See Figure 2). When clearance to combustible material is over 12", a Thermador Flush Island Trim may be used. Figure 2 indicates the space required for each type of backguard.

6. Always keep appliance area clear and free from

combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.

7. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation

8. A 5 inch minimum clearance is needed when the range

is installed beside a combustible side wall. As defined in the “National Fuel Gas Code” (ANSI Z223.1, NFPA 54 Current Edition).

Make sure all users know where and how to shut off the gas supply to the range. Note: The installer should inform the consumer of the location of the gas shut-off valve. Note: Any opening in the wall behind the appliance and any opening in the floor under the appliance must be sealed. The gas ranges may be connected to the power supply with the range supply cord supplied with the range or by hard-wiring to the power supply. It is the responsibility of the installer to provide the proper wiring components (cord or conduit and wires) and complete the gas connection as dictated by local codes and ordinances, and/or the National Electric Code. The units must be properly grounded. Refer to Step 6 for details. The range must be connected only to the type of gas for which it is certified. If the range is to be connected to propane gas, ensure that the propane gas supply tank is equipped with its own high pressure regulator in addition to the pressure regulator supplied with the range. (See Step 5.) Note: The range is designed for flush installation to the back wall. For a successful installation, it may be necessary to reposition the gas-supply line and electrical cord as the range is pushed back to its final position. SUGGESTION: This may be accomplished by carefully pulling on a rope or twine looped around the gas or electrical supply line as the range is pushed back into its final installed position. Important: The cord supplied with the gas ranges, having an electric griddle, requires a NEMA 5-20 receptacle, shown here. Local codes may require a different wiring method. Electrical Supply Installation of the range must be planned so that the rough- in of the junction box for the receptacle will allow maximum clearance to the rear of the unit. To minimize binding when the unit is connected to the receptacle or junction box, orient the receptacle and slide back into position. When the power supply cord is connected to the mating receptacle, the combined plug/receptacle connection should protrude no more than 2-1/2" from the rear wall. See Figure 3b. Step 3: Unpacking and Moving the Range CAUTION Proper equipment and adequate manpower must be used in moving the range to avoid injury, and to avoid damage to the unit or the floor. The unit is heavy and should be handled accordingly.

  • The range has an approximate shipping weight as shown in Chart A. The literature packet with manuals, cooking grates, griddle plate, burner caps, front kick panel and oven racks must be removed to facilitate handling. Removing the door(s) is also recommended (See “Step 8: Door Removal and Reinstallation” on page 15). This will reduce the weight as shown in Chart A. See Figure 2 on page 6. Do not remove the griddle element and tray assembly. PLUG NEMA 5-20 RECEPTACLE Figure 4: Wall Connection Power Cord & Receptacle 2-1/2" maximum when plugged inEnglish 9
  • Remove the outer carton and packing material from the shipping pallet. The all gas ranges are held to the pallet by four (4) bolts (see Figure 5). The two front pallet bolts are accessible only after removing the Kick Panel. Remove the two screws below the lower corners of the oven cavity and lift the Kick Panel away from the two projections on the range‘s cast base that capture the bottom edge of the Panel. After removing the bolts, the range must be lifted and removed from the pallet. CAUTION: DO NOT lift the range by the oven door's handle, as this may damage the door hinges and cause the door to fit incorrectly to the oven cavity. Note: Leave adhesive-backed foam layer over brushed-metal surfaces, to protect finish from scratches, until the range is installed in its final position.
  • Due to the weight, a dolly with soft wheels should be used to move this unit. The weight must be supported uniformly across the bottom (See Figure 6).
  • After transporting the range by dolly close to its final location, the range can be tipped back and supported on the rear legs while the dolly is carefully removed. THE FLOOR UNDER THE LEGS SHOULD BE

PROTECTED BEFORE PUSHING THE UNIT INTO

POSITION. The anti-tip device must be installed (STEP 4), gas and electrical connections should be made (STEPS 5 and 6), and the backguard installed (STEP 7) before the range is placed in its final position.

  • Do not install the oven door(s) until the range is in its final location. 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 4: Installing Anti-Tip Device For all 30" and 36" ranges, an anti-tip device must be installed per these instructions.
  • All ranges can tip and injury can result. To prevent accidental tipping of the range, attach it to the floor, wall or cabinet by installing the Anti-Tip Device supplied.
  • A risk of tip-over may exist if the appliance is not installed in accordance with these instructions.
  • If the range is pulled away from the wall for cleaning, service or any other reason, ensure that the Anti-Tip Device is properly Chart A 30" Range 36" Range 48" Range Shipping Weight 300 lbs. 335 lbs. 534 lbs.

  • 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. Make sure the gas supply is turned off at the manual shut-off valve before connecting the appliance.
  • The range is supplied with its own pressure regulator that has been permanently mounted within the range body.
  • Use 3/4" flex line to connect between the gas supply and the appliance gas inlet, located at the lower right portion of the range. (See Figure 9.) The appliance inlet pipe connection is 1/2" NPT. Use caution to avoid crimping the 3/4" flex line when making bends. Suggested length of flex line is 48", however, please check local codes for your area's requirements before installation.
  • The gas supply connections shall be made by a competent technician and in accordance with local codes or ordinances. In the absence of local codes, the installation must conform to the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA54- current issue.
  • Always use pipe sealing compound or Teflon® tape on the pipe threads, and be careful not to apply excessive force when tightening the fittings.
  • Leak testing of the appliance shall be in accordance with the following instructions.
  • Turn on gas and check supply line connections for leaks using a soap and water solution.
  • Bubbles forming indicate a gas leak. Repair all leaks immediately after finding them. WARNING Do not use a flame of any kind to check for gas leaks. CAUTION: The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5kPa.). The appliance and its individual shut off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of the system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5kPa.). When checking the manifold gas pressure, the inlet pressure to the regulator should be at least 6.0" (14.9 mb) W.C. for natural gas or 11.0" (27.4 mb) for propane. Do not attempt any adjustment of the pressure regulator. Propane Gas Requirements: Inlet Connection: 1/2" NPT internal (Minimum 3/4" dia. flex line.)

Lock service panel to prevent power from being turned ON accidentally.
  • For these gas range models, a neutral supply wire must be provided from the power source (breaker/fuse panel) because critical range components, including the surface burner spark reignition modules, require 120 VAC to operate safely and properly. WARNING An improper 120 VAC power supply will cause malfunction, damage to this appliance, and possibly create a condition of shock hazard.
  • If the correct power supply circuit is not provided, it is the responsibility and obligation of the installer and user to have proper power supply connected. This must be accomplished in accordance with all applicable local codes and ordinances by a qualified electrician. In the absence of local codes and ordinances, the power supply connection shall be in accordance with the National Electrical Code.
  • Observe all governing codes and ordinances when grounding. In the absence of these codes or ordinances observe National Electrical Code ANSI/ NFPA No. 70 current issue.
  • Electric wiring diagrams and schematics have been placed in the toe kick area of the range for access by a qualified service technician.
  • Before you plug in an electrical cord, be sure all controls are in the OFF position.
  • For appliances equipped with a cord and plug, do not cut or remove the ground prong. It must be plugged into a matching grounding type receptacle to avoid electrical shock. If there is any doubt as to whether the wall receptacle is properly grounded, the customer should have it checked by a qualified electrician.
  • Installer — show the owner the location of the circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy reference. Figure 10: Location of Gas Supply Inlet Connection on 48“ Ranges
  • The backguard must be attached before sliding the range into the final, installed position. A Low Back or Pot-and-Pan Shelf must be installed when there is less than 12" clearance from a combustible back wall and the back of the range above the cooking surface.
  • A Flush Island Trim is available for covering the back area of the range for island installations; however, the Flush Island Trim can only be used where there is a minimum of 12" horizontal clearance between a combustible back wall and the back of the range.
  • The backguard is inserted inside the guide channels on the back of the range, as shown in the illustration. (Remove the griddle plate for sufficient installation clearance on griddle models.) Using a T-20 size Torx driver, fasten the backguard with four (4) Torx-head screws to the range‘s side panels, two (2) screws to the range‘s back panel, and four (4) screws to the area around the cooling blower.
  • To secure the front of the backguard, install three (3) of the Torx head screws through the lower front panel of the backguard, into the flange at the back of the range’s cooktop.
  • The Pot-and-Pan Shelf requires pre-assembly of the top panel to the shell using nine (9) of the enclosed Torx-head screws. For sufficient load strength, YOU MUST attach the two (2) Torx-head screws through the back corners of the top down into the shell.
  • The Pot-and-Pan Shelf provides a shelf above the cooktop to keep foods hot or store cooking pans. OBSERVE CAUTIONS. WARNING Fingers or hand could get pinched when installing the backguard. Severe injury could result. Use extreme caution and wear thick protective gloves to avoid potential cut or laceration to finger or hand while sliding the backguard down onto the range. WARNING To avoid possible burn or fire hazard, a backguard designed specifically for this range must be installed whenever the range is used. CAUTION The Pot and Pan Shelf can get very hot! DO NOT place the following items on top of the Pot and Pan Shelf:
  • plastics or containers that can melt
  • a total load over 30 pounds (13.6kg) Figure 11: Backguard Installation The back panel of backguard is positioned inside these two guide channels on the back of the range.

  • Make sure oven is cool and power to oven has been turned off before removing the door. Failure to do so could result in electri- cal shock or burns.
  • The oven door is heavy and fragile. Use both hands to remove or replace the door.
  • Grasp only the sides of the oven door when removing or replacing it.
  • Failure to grasp the oven door firmly and properly could result in personal injury and product damage.
  • With the door off, never release the levers and try to close the hinges. Without the weight of the door, the powerful springs will snap the hinges closed with great force. To Remove the Oven Door:

1. Fully open the oven door.

2. Flip the hinge clip toward you (see illustration at right).

3. Close the door until it stops; the open hinge clip will

hold the door about halfway open.

4. Grasp the door on the sides. The door is heavy and

fragile - always use both hands. Lift the door up and out (there will be some spring resistance to overcome). When the front of the door is high enough, you will be able to pull the door straight out.

5. Place the door in a safe and stable location.

To Reinstall the Oven Door:

1. Hold door on both sides. Insert hinges into hinge slots.

The door will be about halfway open. It may be necessary to press firmly inward on the lower portion of the door, using a rocking motion to fully seat the door's hinges.

2. Open door all the way to expose hinge clips. Push

hinge clips away from you (toward the oven) until they meet the hinge.

3. Close and open the door slowly to test the installation.

It should open and close smoothly and be straight, not crooked. Photo A: Hinge bracket in closed position Photo B: Flip hinge clip toward you Photo C: Hinge removed from ovenEnglish 16 Step 9: Placing and Leveling the Range

  • For proper performance, the range must be level. (This is very important for all products that have the griddle feature.)
  • The range has four leveling legs that are threaded into the cast aluminum base. The range is leveled by rotating the legs using a 3/8“ socket or a wrench on the hex flats at the top of each leg, or using an adjustable wrench on the flats on the sides of the foot (See Figure 12).
  • Progression of the height adjustments should be alternated proportionally between the four legs, until the top edges of the range‘s side panels are close to matching the countertop height. CAUTION The top edges of the range‘s side panels must be on the same or higher level as the adjacent countertop. If the range is operated while at a lower height relative to the adjacent cabinet, the cabinet could be exposed to excessive temperatures, causing damage to the cabinet and countertop (See Figure 12).
  • Final height adjustments of the two rear legs take place before moving the range into its installed position in the cabinet.
  • As the range is moved into its final, installed position, verify that one of the rear range feet has properly engaged the Anti-Tip Bracket (See Step 4). This can be verified by viewing through the opening near the floor with the Kick Panel removed. NOTICE: Due to their size and weight distribution, the 48“ ranges do not require the use of the Anti-Tip Bracket.
  • With the range in the installed position, the final height adjustments are made to the two front legs to ensure proper alignment to the countertop. Note: It is assumed that the countertop adjacent to the range has been properly leveled.
  • After the Range is properly leveled, replace the Kick Panel and re-install the Oven Door (See “Step 8: Door Removal and Reinstallation” on page 15). It is important that the two (2) screws retaining the Kick Panel are secure to prevent accidental access to hot surfaces.
  • Ensure that the burner caps are correctly seated on the burner bases of the range‘s cooktop. Griddle Tilt Adjustment (Not All Models) Check the griddle adjustment by pouring two tablespoons of water on the back of the griddle plate. The water should slowly roll into the grease tray. If not, adjust the two screws under the back of the griddle plate. Start with one half turn counter-clockwise (CCW) of the screws. Further adjustment should be made by one-quarter turn until water slowly flows into the grease tray.English 17 Figure 12: Adjusting the height of the Range

English 18 Step 10: Burner Test and Adjustment Install any loose components, such as burner caps and grates, that may have been removed earlier. Be certain that burner caps seat properly into the burner bases. Before testing operation of the appliance, verify that the unit and the gas supply have been carefully checked for leaks and that the unit has been connected to the electrical power supply. Turn the gas shut-off valve to the open position. Test Rangetop Burners Test Burner Ignition. Select a rangetop burner knob. Push in and turn counterclockwise to HI. The ignitor/spark module will produce a clicking sound. Once the air has been purged from the supply lines, the burner should light within four (4) seconds. Test Flame: High Setting. Turn burner on to HI. See Figure 13 for appropriate flame characteristics. If any of the rangetop burners continue to burn mostly or completely yellow, verify that the burner cap is positioned properly on the burner base, then retest. If flame characteristics do not improve, call Thermador. Test Flame: Low Setting. Turn burner on to SIM. Verify that the flame travels complete around the burner. This is known as “carry over“. There should be a flame at each burner port and there should be no air gap between the flame and the burner. If any burners do not “carry over“, call Thermador. The two left burners feature XLO, that causes the flame to cycle on and off when the knob is set to the XLO range. This is normal operation. Repeat these Ignition and Flame Test procedures for each rangetop burner. When Flame is Properly Adjusted:

  • There should be a flame at each burner port.
  • There should be no air gap between the flame and burner port. Test Oven Burners Remove the oven bottom cover. Remove the 4 screws on the sides and the 2 screws on the back, then slide the cover forward while lifting to clear the angled baffle plate mounted to the bottom of the cover. Note: The air shutter for the bake burner is set at the factory for fully-open position under all conditions, and does not require adjustment. Test Bake Burner Ignition Set the oven to BAKE at 350°F. After 30-75 seconds, the burner will ignite. The burner will stay lit until 350°F is reached and then shut off. From this point forward, the burner will cycle on and off to maintain the temperature. Figure 13: Flame Characteristics Yellow Flames: Further adjustment is required. Yellow Tips on Outer Cones: Normal for LP Gas. Soft Blue Flames: Normal for Natural Gas. If the flame is completely or mostly yellow, verify that the regulator is set for the correct fuel. After adjustment, retest. Some orange-colored streaking is normal during the initial start-up. Allow unit to operate 4-5 minutes and re-evaluate before making adjustments.English 19 Test Broil Burner Ignition Set cooking mode to BROIL. The burner will ignite after 30- 75 seconds. The infrared ceramic broiler does not have an air shutter, so no adjustment is provided. Replace oven bottom cover. Slide cover into place and reattach to bottom of oven cavity. Call Thermador if:

1. Any of the burners do not light.

2. The broil burner or bake burner flame goes out before

the oven heats to the desired temperature.

3. Any of the burners continue to burn yellow.

To Clean and Protect Exterior Surfaces The stainless steel surfaces may be cleaned by wiping with a damp soapy cloth, rinsing with clear water and drying with a soft cloth to avoid water marks. Any mild glass cleaner will remove fingerprints and smears. For discolorations or deposits that persist, refer to the Care and Use Manual. To polish and protect the stainless steel, use a cleaner/ polish such as Stainless Steel Magic®. DO NOT allow deposits to remain for long periods of time. DO NOT use ordinary steel wool or steel brushes. Small bits of steel may adhere to the surface causing rust. DO NOT allow salt solutions, disinfectants, bleaches or cleaning compounds to remain in contact with stainless steel for extended periods. Many of these compounds contain chemicals which could prove harmful. Rinse with water after exposure and wipe dry with a clean cloth.Table des matières Questions ? 1-800-735-4328 www.thermador.com Nous attendons de vos nouvelles !
