Step 5: Gas Requirements and Hookup
Verify the type of gas being used at the installation site. The appliance is shipped
from the factory for use with natural gas. It must be converted for use with
propane. A qualified technician or installer must do the conversion. Make cer-
tain the range matches the type of gas available at this location.
For installation of the appliance at high altitude, please consult your local gas com-
pany for their recommendation of the correct orifice sizes and any other necessary
adjustments that will provide proper gas combustion at specified altitudes.
The field conversion kit for this series of Dual Fuel Ranges is Thermador Model
PLPKIT. Obey all instructions in PLPKIT for correct conversion of the gas regulator
and settings for the gas valves.
This appliance has been CSA certified for safe operation up to an elevation of
10,200 ft. without any modifications. Exception: For use with propane, the appliance
must be converted per the LP conversion instructions.
CAUTION
When connecting 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 appliance. The pressure of the gas
supplied to the appliance regulator must not exceed 14" (34.9 mb) water
column.
WARNING
Gas line must not come in contact with any components inside back
cover of range. Run gas line in channel in back of range.
Hook Up • 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 appli-
ance.
• The range is supplied with its own pressure regulator that has been perma-
nently mounted within the range body.
