Installation instructions Planning information Ventilation requirements 9 CAUTION To prevent possible damage to cabinets and cabinet finishes, use only materials and finishes that will not discolor or divide into layers. Materials should be able to withstand temperatures up to 194 °F (90 °C). Heat and moisture resistant adhesive must be used if the product is to be installed in laminated cabinetry. Check with the manufacturer to ensure materials meet these requirements. 9 WARNING This appliance should not be installed with a ventilation system that directs air in a downward direction toward the range. This type of ventilation system may cause ignition and combustion problems with the appliance resulting in personal injury, property damage, or unintended operation. Ventilating systems that direct the air upwards do not have any restriction. Before using your appliance, be sure to read this manual. Pay special attention to the Important Safety Instructions located at the beginning of the manual. Any opening in the wall behind the appliance and in the floor under the appliance shall be sealed. Tools needed • 7/16'' box end wrench or ratchet • 3/16'' (4.76 mm) drill bit • Hand or electric drill • 1/8'' (3.17 mm) drill bit • 12'' Adjustable wrench • T-20 screwdriver • T-30 screwdriver • Tape measure • Furniture dolly or air sled • Phillips screwdriver • Level • Marking instrument • Protective gloves • Safety glasses Items not included • Drywall / concrete anchors • Rope/twine • 2 - NPT flare adapters • Pipe compound / tape • ¾'' (19 mm) flex line IMPORTANT: There is a possibility to discolor the back wall under certain cooking conditions. Refer to the "Ventilation Planning Guide" for approved ventilation combinations. It is strongly recommended that this appliance be installed in conjunction with a Thermador® vent hood. 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. Downdraft ventilation should not be used. The "Ventilation Planning Guide" indicates the ventilation hood options and blower capacity guidelines that are recommended for use. Due to the high heat of the rangetop burners, installing a microwave oven with a ventilation system over the rangetop is not recommended on any model other than the 30'' 5-burner. Refer to OTR manufacturer's installation manual for clearances. Ventilation hoods and blowers are designed for use with single wall ducting. However, some local building codes or inspectors may require double wall ducting. Consult local building codes and/or local agencies before starting to assure that hood and duct installation will meet local requirements. NOTICE: Most range hoods contain combustible components which must be considered when planning the installation. Page. 6
