Step 2: Cabinet Preparation

• To ensure professional results, the cabinet and
countertop openings should be prepared by a qualified
cabinet worker.
• The clearances shown in "Installation Clearances" are
required. The same clearances apply to island
installations, except for the overhead cabinets, which
must have a space wide enough to accept the island
hood.
• The rangetop is designed to hang from the countertop
by its side flanges. The countertop however, must be
strong enough to support this rangetop. It may be
necessary to add a supporting cleat along each side
(see Figure 3) or a 2 x 4 corner brace (see Figure 4
and Figure 5 and Detail A). Another alternative would
be to construct a deck to set the rangetop on.
• The rangetop can be installed in various positions with
the front either flush or projecting, depending on the
countertop's depth. (See Figure 6, side view of
rangetop).
• The gas and electrical supply must be located in an
area that is accessible without requiring removal of the
rangetop. The appliance electrical power cord and gas
pipe connection are located as shown in Figure 6 and
Figure 9, respectively.
• When installing against a combustible surface, a Low
Backguard is optional. A THERMADOR
Backguard must be purchased separately. See Step 7
for backguard, kits and installation information.
• Rear clearance to a combustible surface is zero inches
(see "Installation Clearances").
• When the rangetop is installed against a combustible
side wall, a minimum clearance of 5'' (127 mm) is
needed from the side of the rangetop to the wall.
• The maximum depth of over head cabinets installed on
either side of the hood is 13" (330 mm).

• There is a 36'' (914 mm) minimum clearance required
between the top of the cooking surface and the bottom
of an unprotected cabinet.
A 30'' (762 mm) clearance can be used when the
bottom of the wood or metal cabinet is protected by not
less than 1/4'' (6 mm) of a flame retardant material
covered with not less than No. 28 MSG sheet steel,
0.015'' (0.38 mm) thick stainless steel, 0.024'' (0.61
mm) aluminum, or 0.02'' (0.51 mm) thick copper.
Flame retardant materials bear the mark:

SURFACE BURNING CHARACTERISTICS
followed by the flame spread and smoke ratings. These
designations are shown as "FHC (FIame Spread/
Smoke Developed)." Materials with "O" flame spread
ratings are flame retardant. Local codes may allow
other flame spread ratings. It is the responsibility of the
installer to ensure installation is in accordance with
these ratings.
• Establish the centerline of the rangetop's desired
location. It should be the same as the center of the
overhead ventilation hood.
• Cut the openings for the following installations:

NOTES:
TM Low
• If a solid side cabinet wall exists on one or both sides,
you will need to notch the front corner of the cabinet to
match the countertop notch and to allow clearance for
the rangetop front (see Detail A, Figure 4 and
Figure 5).
• If a supporting deck is used, the sides or bottom of the
cutout may be solid combustible or non-combustible
material. If the bottom is solid, provide a 12" by 12"
(305 x 305 mm) cutout in the left rear corner of the
supporting deck. This will provide clearance for the gas
inlet and power cord.
• Always keep appliance area clean and free from
combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable
vapors and liquids.
• DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion and
ventilation air to the unit.
