The Thermador PCG366W Professional Series gas rangetop represents the ultimate in residential cooking power, combining six high-performance Star burners in a 36-inch platform. This precision cutout template enables fabricators to execute flawless countertop installations for one of Thermador's most sought-after professional cooking appliances. With powerful burner configurations including 18,000 BTU power burners and ExtraLow simmer capability, the PCG366W demands exact cutout specifications for optimal performance and safety. Our manufacturer-verified DXF template eliminates guesswork, providing CNC-ready geometry that ensures proper fit, ventilation, and long-term reliability in high-end kitchen installations.
Installation Overview
Fabricating the cutout for the Thermador PCG366W requires precision execution of a 35.125-inch by 22.8125-inch opening with 0.375-inch corner radii. The deeper dimension of this rangetop design, at nearly 23 inches, significantly impacts cabinet layout and requires verification of countertop depth before cutting. The overall appliance dimensions of 35.9375 inches by 25.8125 inches create a minimal mounting lip, making dimensional accuracy critical for both aesthetics and structural support. This rangetop sits elevated above the countertop surface due to its professional-grade burner assembly, a factor that influences sight lines, backsplash height, and overall kitchen ergonomics. Installation planning must account for gas supply line routing, electrical connection for the ignition system, and adequate ventilation beneath the unit to dissipate heat from six high-output burners. The template's alignment markers facilitate centering within 36-inch base cabinets while maintaining manufacturer-specified clearances to combustible materials and adjacent surfaces.
CNC Cutting Notes
CNC programming for the PCG366W cutout requires attention to the precise 0.375-inch corner radii and the deep rectangular geometry. Utilize diamond tooling appropriate for your material, with 0.125-inch radius bits commonly used for natural stone applications. The 22.8125-inch depth dimension approaches the limits of standard countertop slab depths, necessitating pre-cut verification of material dimensions and grain orientation. Program corner execution with reduced feed rates to achieve smooth, consistent radii critical for proper appliance seating and stress distribution. When working with quartzite or granite, conservative speeds prevent micro-fracturing at radius transitions. For engineered quartz, maintain optimal coolant flow to prevent thermal stress marks along cut edges. The rectangular geometry simplifies tool path programming, but quality control must verify all four corners match the specified radius precisely. Perform test cuts on scrap material when working with high-value slabs or exotic stones. Edge finish quality is paramount as the rangetop's minimal overlap exposes more cut edge than traditional drop-in installations.
Material Compatibility
This cutout template accommodates all professional-grade countertop materials including granite, marble, quartzite, quartz composite, and solid surface products. The 35.125-inch width integrates seamlessly with standard 36-inch cabinet bases when proper overhangs are maintained. The deep 22.8125-inch dimension requires careful verification of available countertop depth, particularly in peninsula applications or installations with decorative backsplash elements. Natural stone materials should be a minimum of 3cm thickness, providing necessary structural support and heat resistance for the PCG366W's combined burner output exceeding 70,000 BTU. Engineered quartz materials perform excellently in this application due to their superior heat resistance and dimensional stability. Solid surface materials can be used but require enhanced support structures due to the rangetop's weight and concentrated heat output. The template design accommodates various edge profile treatments, though fabricators should consider the appliance's elevated cooking surface when selecting edge details. Material selection must prioritize heat resistance given the professional-grade burner power that generates significant radiant heat to surrounding countertop areas.
Where to Buy
The Thermador PCG366W is available through authorized Thermador dealers nationwide and premium appliance retailers including AJ Madison, Designer Appliances, Ferguson, and Abt Electronics. Professional fabricators should confirm current model specifications with suppliers, as Thermador periodically updates the Professional Series lineup with enhanced features and refined dimensions.
