Step 3: Unpacking, Moving, &
Anchoring the Rangetop
CAUTION!
Proper equipment and adequate manpower
must be used in moving the appliance to
avoid damage and/or personal injury. The unit
is heavy and should be handled accordingly.
• Verify that the appliance is correct for the type of gas
being provided. Refer to Step 4 before proceeding with
the installation.
• Remove the outer carton and packing material from the
shipping base. Ensure that you have all rangetop
components before proceeding.
• Remove the cooking grates, griddle plate (if
applicable), and burner caps to reduce rangetop's
weight.
Leave adhesive-backed foam layer over brushed-metal
•
surfaces, to protect finish from scratches, until the
rangetop is installed in its final position.
• Using a Phillips head screwdriver, remove the three
mounting brackets securing the rangetop to the pallet.
Discard the screws and brackets after removal.
• Attach the backguard before sliding the appliance into
the final installed position (see Step 6).
• Lift and place the rangetop in the countertop opening.
Be careful not to pinch the power cord or gas inlet.
Care should be used not to scratch the countertop.
• Make sure that the power cord is free and hanging
loose.
• The rangetop must be level for proper performance.
• Replace the cooking grates, griddle plate, and burner
caps. Ensure that the burner caps are correctly seated
on the burner bases.
Assembling the Grill (not all models)
Refer to "Using the Electric Grill" in the Use and Care
Guide.
Griddle Tilt Adjustment (not all models)
Check the griddle adjustment by pouring two tablespoons
of water on the back of the griddle plate (Figure 10). The
water should slowly roll into the grease tray. If not, adjust
the two screws under the back of the plate. Start with one
half turn counter-clockwise (CCW) of the screws. Further
adjustment should be made by one-quarter turn until water
slowly flows into the grease tray.

Step 4: Gas Requirements and
Hookup
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 site requires conversion from natural gas to
propane (LP), contact the dealer where the unit was
purchased or contact THERMADOR
conversion kit. The field conversion kit for the rangetops in
this series is THERMADOR Model PALPKITHC. Obey all
instructions in this kit for correct conversion of the gas
regulator and settings for the gas valves. Field conversion
must be done by qualified service personnel only.
WARNING!
If a gas conversion kit is used, the kit shall be installed
by a qualified service agency in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions and all applicable codes and
requirements of the authority having jurisdiction. If the
information in the instructions is not followed exactly, a
fire, explosion or production of carbon monoxide may
result causing property damage, personal injury or loss
of life. The qualified service agency is responsible for the
proper installation of the kit. The installation is not proper
and complete until the operation of the converted
appliance is checked as specified in the manufacturer's
instructions supplied with the kit.
