Cabinet Requirements; Specifications; Rear Clearance Requirements; Island Trim Cabinet Clearance Requirements - Thermador Professional Serie Mode D'emploi

Cabinet requirements

The appliance is a free standing unit. If the unit is to be
placed adjacent to cabinets, the clearances shown in this
section 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.

Specifications

• See the "Ventilation planning guide" for
recommended hood options. Due to the high heat of
the burners, installing a microwave oven with a
ventilation system over the appliance is not
recommended on any model other than the 30'' 5–
burner. Refer to the Over the Range or Rangetop
(OTR) manufacturer's installation manual for
clearances.
• The gas and electrical supply should be within the
zones shown in the "Gas and electric requirements"
on page 10.
• Any opening in the wall behind the appliance and in
the floor under the appliance shall be sealed.
• The shaded area behind the appliance indicates an
opportunity to discolor the back wall under certain
cooking conditions.
• There must be a minimum of 5'' (127 mm) side
clearance from the appliance to combustible vertical
surfaces above the 36'' (914 mm) counter height.
• Within the 5'' (127 mm) side clearance to combustible
vertical surfaces above 36'' (91.4 cm), the maximum
wall cabinet depth must be 13" (330 mm).
• Wall cabinets within this 5'' (127 mm) side clearance
must be 18'' (457 mm) above the 36'' (914 mm) high
countertop.
• The maximum depth of the cabinets hanging on either
side of the hood is 13'' (330 mm).
• 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.

ventilation air to the appliance.
• The appliance height is adjustable. The level of the
range top must be at the same level or above the
counter top level.
• To provide proper ventilation of the range DO NOT
remove range feet.

Rear clearance requirements

non-porous construction materials suitable for use in a
cooking environment are recommended.
