Installation
Planning Information
Before using your appliance, be sure to read this manual.
Pay special attention to the
Important Safety Instructions
located at the beginning of the manual.
Remove all tape and packaging before using the
appliance. Please, recycle the packaging
material, as all THERMADOR appliance
packaging material is recyclable. Never allow
children to play with packaging material.
Step 1: Ventilation
Requirements
Refer to the
Ventilation Planning Guide
for approved
ventilation combinations.
It is strongly recommended that this appliance be installed
in conjunction with a THERMADOR vent hood. 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.
Downdraft ventilation should not be used. The
Ventilation
Planning Guide
indicates the ventilation hood options and
blower capacity guidelines that are recommended for use
with all THERMADOR ranges.
Due to the high heat of the rangetop burners, 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.
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.
NOTICE:
Most range hoods contain combustible components which
must be considered when planning the installation.
Ventilation Preparation
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/rangetop
may be desirable for improved ventilation performance.
•
For island installations, the hood width should
overhang the width of the range by a minimum of 3"
(76 mm) on each side.
2. Hood Placement:
•
For best smoke elimination, the lower edge of the hood
should be installed 30" (762 mm) above the range
cooking surface (see
Figure 1
).
•
If the hood contains any combustible materials (i.e. a
wood covering), it must be installed a minimum of 36"
(914 mm) above the cooking surface (see
Figure 1
).
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.

WARNING!
This appliance should not be installed with a ventilation
system that directs air in a downward direction toward
the range. This type of ventilation system may cause
ignition and combustion problems with the appliance
resulting in personal injury, property damage, or
unintended operation. Ventilating systems that direct the
air upwards do not have any restriction.
