Step 2: Cabinet Preparation
1. The range is a free standing unit. If the unit is to be 
placed adjacent to cabinets, the clearances shown in 
Figure 1 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, as indicated in Figure 1.
2. These ranges may be recessed into the cabinets 
beyond the edge of the front face of the oven (See 
Figure 2)
CAUTION:
In these installations, the door and cabinet can 
cause a pinching hazard. 
3. The gas and electrical supply should be within the zone 
shown in Figure 3a
Note:
The maximum depth of over head cabinets installed on 
either side of the hood is 13". 
A 40-inch minimum clearance is required between the top 
of the cooking surface and the bottom of an unprotected 
cabinet. A 30-inch clearance can be used when the bottom 
of the wood or metal cabinet is protected by not less than 
1/4 inch of a flame retardant material covered with not less 
than No. 28 MSG sheet steel, 0.015 inch (0.4 mm) thick 
stainless steel, 0.024 inch (0.6 mm) aluminum, or 0.020 
inch (0.5 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. 
4. Any openings in the wall behind the range and in the 
floor under the range must be sealed. 
5. When there is less than a 12" horizontal clearance 
between combustible material 
 and the back edge of 
the range above the cooking surface, a Thermador 
Low Back or Pot and Pan Shelf must be installed. (See 
Figure 2). When clearance to combustible material 
 
is over 12", a Thermador Flush Island Trim may be 
used.  Figure 2 indicates the space required for each 
type of backguard. 
6. Always keep appliance area clear and free from 
combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable 
vapors and liquids. 
7. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation 
air to the unit. 
8. A (10) inch minimum clearance is needed when the 
range is installed beside a combustible side wall. 
 
A
s defined in the “National Fuel Gas Code” (ANSI 
Z223.1, NFPA 54 Current Edition).
Important Notes:
It is recommended that a Thermador Professional wall or island hood or custom insert is used with Thermador 
Professional Ranges.
The HPWB Professional Series Wall Hoods or the Professional Series Custom Inserts are recommended ventilation 
solutions for these ranges. The PH Professional Series Wall Hoods are also a viable option, however the 27” depth of 
the PH series may not be suitable to all applications.
Refer to www.Thermador.com for a complete selection of Professional Ventilation options, Blowers, and Accessories.
* For high output gas ranges (60,000 BTU or greater), the minimum of one (1) CFM of ventilation per 100 BTU is 
recommended. If the range has a griddle, add 200 CFM to the estimated blower capacity. Additional blower capacity 
may be required for longer duct runs.
For island applications, it is recommended to use a hood width that exceeds the width of the range by 6” (overlapping 
the range by a minimum of 3” on each end).
CFM = “cubic feet per minute” (standard blower capacity rating).
