Contents INTRODUCTION
The Thermador Professional ® Ranges are free-
standing units available in a number of configurations.
All models feature a gas cooking surface with a
professional size, gas convection, self-cleaning oven
with broil capability.
GAS TYPE VERIFICATION
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. Models come from the factory
certified for use with natural gas or with propane (LP)
gas. Make certain your range and gas type are the
same. Refer to the product rating label which can be
located as indicated on Page 42.
IMPORTANT
All ranges must be installed with a backguard.
The PG 304 comes with a low back. For all other
models, one of three available backguards must
be ordered separately and installed at the back
of the range. The three backguard choices in-
clude a Low Back, High Back Shelf, or Island
Trim. Before using the range, insure that it is
equipped with a proper backguard. Refer to the
Installation Instructions accompanying this ap-
pliance for more information.

CAUTION:
When connecting the unit to propane gas, make
certain the propane gas tank is equipped with its
own high-pressure regulator in addition to the
pressure regulator supplied with the range. The
maximum gas pressure to this appliance
must not exceed 14.0 inches water column
(34.9 mb) from the propane gas tank to the
pressure regulator.
