10. There is a 36” (914 mm) minimum clearance required
between the top of the cooking surface and the bottom
of an unprotected cabinet. A 30” (762 mm) clearance
can be used when the bottom of the wood or metal
cabinet is protected by not less than 1/4” (6 mm) of a
flame retardant material covered with not less than No.
28 MSG sheet steel, 0.015” (0.38 mm) thick stainless
steel, 0.024” (0.61 mm) aluminum, or 0.02” (0.51 mm)
thick copper.
Flame retardant materials bear the mark:
UNDERWRITERS LABORATORIES INC.
CLASSIFIED MINERAL AND FIBER BOARDS
SURFACE BURNING 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. It is the responsibility of the
installer to ensure installation is in accordance with
these ratings.
11. Establish the centerline of the rangetop’s desired
location. It should be the same as the center of the
overhead ventilation hood.
12. Cut the openings for the following installations:
•
Wall installation, see
Figure 3
.
•
Island installation, see
Figure 4
.
13. For installation of a 48" rangetop above two side-by-
side THERMADOR
®
warming drawers (WD24), refer
to
Figure 8
. Completing the installation as per
Figure 8
will result in the left and right edges of the rangetop
being aligned with the left edge of the left-side warming
drawer and right edge of the right-side warming drawer.
If different alignment is desired, the 1
Ǭ
” (48 mm)
horizontal distance between warming drawer cutouts
may be varied. However, maintain at least a 1
ǩ
”
(29 mm) distance to avoid interference between the
warming drawers. Attach a 90-degree elbow to the gas
rangetop inlet pipe. All above-the-countertop
clearances must be maintained, as shown in
Figure 1
.
NOTES:
•
If a solid side cabinet wall exists on one or both sides,
you will need to notch the front corner of the cabinet to
match the countertop notch and to allow clearance for
the rangetop front (see Detail A,
Figure 3
and
Figure 4
).
•
If a supporting deck is used, the sides or bottom of the
cutout may be solid combustible or non-combustible
material. If the bottom is solid, provide a 12" by 12"
(305 x 305 mm) cutout in the left rear corner of the
supporting deck. This will provide clearance for the gas
inlet and power cord.
•
Always keep appliance area clean and free from
combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable
vapors and liquids.
•
Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation
air to the unit.
WARNING:
DO NOT block
or obstruct the flow of air
through the ventilation openings. The vent
is located at the back of the appliance. The
vent needs to be unobstructed and open to
provide necessary airflow that is important
for proper performance.
DO NOT
touch vent area while the
appliance is on and for several minutes
after the appliance is off. Some parts of the
vent and surrounding areas become hot
enough to cause burns. Allow appliance
sufficient time to cool before touching or
cleaning vent areas.
DO NOT
position plastic or other heat-
sensitive items on or near the vent. These
items could melt or ignite.
