Step 2: Cabinet Preparation
1. To ensure professional results, the cabinet and
countertop openings should be prepared by a qualified
cabinet worker.
cabinet worker.
2. 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 island hood.
for the overhead cabinets, which must have a space
wide enough to accept the island hood.
3. The cooktop is designed to hang from the countertop
by its side flanges. The countertop however, must be
strong enough to support this cooktop. It may be
necessary to add a supporting cleat along each side
(see Figure 2) or a 2 x 4 corner brace (see Figure 3
and Figure 4 and Detail A). Another alternative would
be to construct a deck to set the cooktop on.

4. The cooktop can be installed in various positions with
the front either flush or projecting, depending on the
countertop’s depth. (See Figure 5, side view of
cooktop; see Figure 3, Figure 4, Figure 6 and Figure 7
for alternate mounting positions.)
countertop’s depth. (See Figure 5, side view of
cooktop; see Figure 3, Figure 4, Figure 6 and Figure 7
for alternate mounting positions.)
5. The gas and electrical supply must be located in an
area that is accessible without requiring removal of the
cooktop. The appliance electrical power cord and gas
pipe connection are located on the left rear underside
of the cooktop, as shown in Figure 5 and Figure 9.

pipe connection are located on the left rear underside
of the cooktop, as shown in Figure 5 and Figure 9.
6. 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
cooking surface of the cooktop and the bottom of an
unprotected cabinet. A 30-inch distance 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 0.020inch (0.5 mm) thick copper. Flame retardant
materials bear the mark:

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.

7. When there is less than a 12" horizontal clearance
between combustible material and the back edge of
the cooktop above the cooking surface, a Thermador
Low Backguard must be installed. (See Step 6). When
clearance to combustible material is over 12", a
Thermador Island Trim may be used. Attach the
backguard before sliding the appliance into the final
installed position.

8. Establish the centerline of the cooktop’s desired
location. It should be the same as the center of the
overhead ventilation hood.

9. Cut the openings for the following installations:

Island installation, see Figure 4.
10. For installation of a 48" cooktop above two side-by-side
Thermador Warming Drawers, Model No. WD24, refer
to Figure 8. Completing the installation as per Figure 8
will result in the left and right edges of the cooktop
being aligned with the left edge of the left-side warming
drawer and right edge of the right-side warming drawer.
If different alignment is desired, the 1-7/8" horizontal
distance between warming drawer cutouts may be
varied. However, maintain at least a 1-1/8" distance to
avoid interference between the warming drawers.
Attach a 90-degree elbow to the gas cooktop inlet pipe.
All above-the-countertop clearances must be
maintained, as shown in Figure 1.

NOTES:
•
•
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 cooktop front (see Detail A, Figure 3 and Figure 4).

•
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 8" by 8" cutout
in the left rear corner of the supporting deck. This will
provide clearance for the gas inlet and power cord,
while also allowing viewing of the product rating label.
