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.
CAUTION
This unit is designed as a cooking appliance. Based on safety
considerations, never use it for warming or heating a room.
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 Appli-
ances
• CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 113-M1984 Fans and Ventilators
• CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 61-M89 Household Cooking Ranges
It is the responsibility of the owner and the installer to determine if additional require-
ments and/or standards apply to specific installations.
Due to the high heat of the cooktop burners, installing a microwave oven with a ven-
tilation system over the cooktop is not recommended.
CAUTION
To eliminate risk of burns or fire caused by reaching over heated surface
units, cabinet storage located above the surface units should be avoided.
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 Table on page 5 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 cooking surface. Where space permits, a hood larger in width than the
cooking surface may be desirable for improved ventilation performance.
• For island installations, the hood width should overhang the range cooking sur-
face by a minimum of 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.
