INTRODUCTION IMPORTANT All Cooktops having less than 12" (305 mm) horizontal clearance between combustible materials and the back edge of the Cooktop must be installed with a Thermador Low Back Backguard. If more than 12" (305 mm) horizontal clearance exists, a Thermador Island Trim may be used instead of the backguard. Before using the Cooktop, insure that it is equipped with the appropriate Low Back Backguard or Island Trim. Refer to the Installation Instructions accompanying this appliance for more information. Cooktops are shipped by the factory to operate on natural gas. Verify that the type of gas being used at the installation site matches the type of gas used by the appliance. If the location/job site requires a conversion from one type of gas to another, contact the dealer where the unit was purchased or contact Thermador. The field conversion kit for this series of Professional cooktops is Thermador Model PALPKITHC. Field conversion must be done by qualified service personnel only.
