INSTALLATION OPTIONS To ensure professional results, the cabinet and countertop openings should be prepared by a qualified cabinet worker. The rangetop can be installed in various positions with the front either flush or projecting, depending on the countertop's depth. The rangetop is designed to hang from the countertop by its side flanges. The countertop however, must be strong enough to support the rangetop. It may be necessary to add a supporting cleat along each side or a 2" x 4" corner brace. Another alternative would be to construct a deck to set the rangetop on. Consult with the installation manual packed with the product for complete details before installing. ABOVE A WARMING DRAWER Thermador Professional® Rangetops may be installed above a Thermador Warming Drawer to create a convenient cooking center. A minimum 2 3/4" clearance is required between the bottom of the rangetop and the top of the warming drawer. Refer to the warming drawer section for additional specifications. BACKGUARDS When using the Flush Island Trim, Thermador recommends a minimum 12" (305 mm) rear clearance to a combustible surface (see Figure 1, Cabinet Clearances). Clearances from non-combustible materials are not part of the ANSI Z21.1 scope and are not certified by CSA. Clearances of less than 12" (305 mm) must be approved by the local codes and / or by the local authority having jurisdiction. NATURAL GAS OR LP Thermador Professional® Rangetops are shipped by the factory to operate on natural gas. They must be converted for use with propane. Verify 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 conversion from natural gas to propane (LP), order PALPKITHC. Field conversion must be done by qualified service personnel only. Please refer to the LP Conversion Instructions packed with product for further information. IMPORTANT We strongly recommend that a Thermador Professional Wall or Island Hood or Custom Insert be installed with all Thermador Professional® Rangetops. Downdraft ventilation should not be used. Do not install a microwave-hood combination above the rangetop, as these types of units do not provide the proper ventilation and are not suitable for use with Thermador Professional® Rangetops. Refer to the ventilation section or www.Thermador.com for a complete selection of Professional ventilation options, blowers, and accessories. 1.800.735.4328 | THERMADOR.COM PROFESSIONAL RANGETOPS 48-INCH PCG486GD 48-INCH RANGETOP AND CUTOUT DIMENSIONS as de ned in the "National Fuel Gas Code" (ANSI Z223.1, Current Edition).

The junction box must be located within 3 feet (~900 mm) of the rangetop connection.
