Ventilation Preparation; Step 2: Cabinet Preparation - Thermador PROFESSIONAL PRO GRAND 60 Série Mode D'emploi

Ventilation Preparation

Refer to the Ventilation Planning Guide for recommended
hood options.
1. Select Hood and Blower Models:
• For wall installations, the hood width must, at a
minimum, equal the width of the range.
• For island installations, the hood width should
overhang the width of the range by a minimum of
3" (76 mm) on each side.
• The range hood must be installed according to the
instructions furnished with the hood.
2. Hood Placement:
• For best smoke elimination, the lower edge of the
hood should be installed 30" (762 mm) above the
range cooking surface (see "Installation
Clearances").
• If the hood contains any combustible materials (i.e.
a wood covering), it must be installed a minimum of
36" (914 mm) above the cooking surface (see
"Installation Clearances").
3. Consider Make-Up Air:
• Due to the high volume of ventilation air, a source
of outside replacement air is recommended. This is
particularly important for tightly sealed and
insulated homes. A qualified heating and
ventilating contractor should be consulted.

STEP 2: Cabinet Preparation

• The range is a free standing unit. If the unit is to be
placed adjacent to cabinets, the clearances shown in
"Installation Clearances" on page 8 are required. The
same clearances apply to island installations, except
for the overhead cabinets, which must have a space
wide enough to accept the flared island hood.
• It is required to install the appliance on 1/8'' (2 mm)
thick commercial grade vinyl composition floor finishing
materials or equivalent.
• DO NOT install the range such that the oven door is
flush with the cabinet face. A flush installation could
result in damage to the cabinets due to exposure to
high heat.
Installation Instructions
• Any openings in the wall behind the range and in the
floor under the range must be sealed.
• The gas and electrical supply should be within the
zones shown in Figure 3 on page 10.
• Rear clearance to a combustible surface is zero inches
(see "Installation Clearances").
• When the range is installed against a combustible side
wall a minimum clearance of 5'' (127 mm) is needed
from the side of the range to the wall.
• Always keep appliance area clear from combustible
materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and
liquids.
• The maximum depth of overhead cabinets installed on
either side of the hood is 13" (330 mm). Wall cabinets
must be 18'' (457 mm) above the countertop.
• DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion and
ventilation air to the unit.
• 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:
UNDERWRITERS LABORATORIES INC. CLASSIFIED
MINERAL AND FIBER BOARDS 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.
