Thermador PRG304GH Installation Instructions - Page 4

Important Installation Information 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 the "Chart C: Backguard Kit Model Numbers" on page 14, 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 on page 11 before proceeding with the installation. CAUTION: To eliminate risk of burns or fire caused by reaching over heated surface units, cabinet storage located above the surface units should be avoided. Gas Supply: Natural Gas - 6 inch water column. (14.9 mb) min., 14 inch (34.9 mb) maximum Propane Gas - 11 inch water column. (27.4 mb) min., 14 inch (34.9 mb) maximum Electric Power Supply: 30" Model: 4 Burners - 120 VAC, 60 Hz., 1Ph., 10 Amp circuit. 36" Models: 6 Burners - 120 VAC, 60 Hz., 1Ph., 10 Amp circuit 4 Burners with Griddle - 120 VAC, 60 Hz., 1Ph., 20 Amp circuit. 48" Models: 6 Burners with Griddle - 120 VAC, 60 Hz., 1Ph., 20 Amp circuit. CAUTION: When connecting the unit to propane gas, make certain the propane gas tank is equipped with its own high-pressure regulator in addition to the pressure regulator supplied with the range.The maximum gas pressure to this appliance must not exceed 14.0 inches water column (34.9 mb) from the propane gas tank to the pressure regulator. English 2 CAUTION: This unit is designed as a cooking appliance. Based on safety considerations, never use it for warming or heating a room. 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 for Ventilation Requirements.) 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. This appliance complies with one or more of the following standards: • UL 858, Standard for the Safety of Household Electric Ranges • UL 923, Standard for the Safety of Microwave Cooking Appliances • UL 507, Standard for the Safety of Electric Fans • ANSI Z21.1, American National Standard for Household Cooking Gas Appliances • CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 113-08 Fans and Ventilators • CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 61-08 Household Cooking Ranges Check local building codes for the proper method of appliance installation. Local codes vary. Installation, electrical connections and grounding must comply with all applicable codes. In the absence of local codes the appliance should be installed in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/ NFPA 54 current issue and National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70 -current issue. In Canada, installation must be in accordance with the CAN 1-B149.1 and .2 - Installation Codes for Gas Burning Appliances and/or local codes. It is the responsibility of the owner and the installer to determine if additional requirements and/or standards apply to specific installations. Step 1: Ventilation Requirements It is strongly recommended that a suitable exhaust hood be installed above the range. Downdraft ventilation should not be used. The following table indicates the ventilation hood options and blower capacity guidelines that are recommended for use with all Thermador ranges. 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 may be desirable for improved ventilation performance.
