Important Installation Information GAS type verification Verify the type of gas supplied to the location. Ensure that the appliance is connected to the type of gas for which it is certified. All models are certified for use with natural gas. Field conversion of the appliance for use with propane gas supply will require a conversion kit. WARNING: To avoid possible burn or fire hazard, a backguard designed specifically for this range must be installed whenever the range is used. Refer to "Chart C: Backguard Kit Model Numbers" on page 17, for the correct backguard models that are designed for this range. After selecting the correct backguard, the range must be installed properly, using the minimum clearances to combustible surfaces specified in the Cabinet Preparation instructions on page 4. Important: • A backguard must be utilized when there is less than a 12" horizontal clearance between combustible materials and the back edge of the range. A Thermador backguard must be ordered separately and installed at the rear of the range. A Low Back is supplied with the 30" model, and all other models are supplied with a Flush Island Trim. For island installations and other installations with more than 12" clearance, an optional stainless steel Island Trim is available to cover the backguard mounting flanges. • Verify that the appliance is correct for the type of gas being provided. Refer to "Step 5: Gas Requirements and Hookup" on page 12 before proceeding with the installation. This appliance has been tested in accordance with ANSI Z21.1, Standard for Household Cooking Appliances (USA) and in accordance with CAN 1.1-M81 Domestic Gas Ranges (Canadian). It is strongly recommended that this appliance be installed in conjunction with a suitable overhead vent hood. (See "Step 1: Ventilation Requirements" on page 3.) 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. English 2
