INTRODUCTION
IMPORTANT
All Cooktops having less than 12" (305 mm)
horizontal clearance between combustible ma-
terials and the back edge of the Cooktop must
be installed with a Thermador Low Back Back-
guard. If more than 12" (305 mm) horizontal
clearance exists, a Thermador Island Trim may
be used instead of the backguard. Before using
the Cooktop, insure that it is equipped with the
appropriate Low Back Backguard or Island Trim.
Refer to the Installation Instructions accompa-
nying this appliance for more information.
Cooktops are shipped by the factory to operate on
natural gas. Verify that the type of gas being used at
the installation site matches the type of gas used by
the appliance.
If the location/job site requires a conversion from
one type of gas to another, contact the dealer where
the unit was purchased or contact Thermador. The
field conversion kit for this series of Professional
cooktops is Thermador Model PALPKITHC. Field
conversion must be done by qualified service
personnel only.
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 pressure of the gas supplied to the appli-
ance regulator must not exceed 14" (34.9 milli-
bars) water column.
