A Special Message to Our Customers,

Thank you for selecting a Thermador Gas Cooktop. If you follow the few simple procedures and suggestions in this manual, the cooktop should give you years of service.

You have either a steel top or a glass top. The glass cooktop fully meets the safety and durability requirements of the American Gas Association, the Canadian Gas Association and the Tempered Glass Association as well as the stringent test requirements imposed by Thermador. Testing includes dropping a 1.2 pound steel ball from about 2 feet and hitting the glass with a 4 pound “pan bottom” 10 times. The cooktop is tough, but it is glass. Severe abuse or excessively rough treatment may break the glass. Tempered glass derives its excellent strength and heat resistance from powerful internal tensions throughout the piece. When any part of the glass is broken, these tensions are released throughout the piece. In this unlikely event, the entire glass will break into many small, blunt pieces called popcorn (the average count is 20 pieces per square inch). The pieces may scatter somewhat and since most particles are transparent, food on or near the cooktop should not be eaten. The cooktop should not be used again until it is repaired by a qualified service technician. Remember, the steel top is covered with porcelain enamel, which is also a very durable glass. Severe abuse or excessively rough treatment may cause the porcelain enamel to chip.

There is no limit to the types of food which can be cooked on your cooktop, but some utensils could harm it. Do not use any utensil which spans two burners because this will excessively heat the space between them. Utensils which have large overhangs beyond the burner grate may cause over heating or tipping, if used for long periods of time. Of course, hard impact should be avoided.

We recommend that you read this entire manual before using your new cooktop. We know you will enjoy cooking on your new cooktop. Please contact us if you have questions or comments. When you write, please include the model and serial numbers of your cooktop.

Sincerely,

The Home Economics Staff

WARNING - TO REDUCE THE

RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS,

IN THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

A.SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie sheet. or other metal tray, then turn off the gas burner or the elec-

tric element. BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If the flames do not go out immediately EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

B.NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN - You may be burned.

C.DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels - a violent steam explosion will result.

D.Use an extinguisher ONLY if:

1.You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher, and you already know how to operate it.

When properly used and cared for your new Thermador Cooktop has been designed to be a safe, reliable appliance. When using kitchen appliances, basic safety precautions must be followed, including the following:

Read this Care and Use Manual carefully before using you new cooktop to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.

Begin by insuring proper installation and servicing. Follow the installation instructions provided with this product. Have the cooktop installed and grounded by a qualified technician. Have the installer show you where the gas shutoff valve is located so that you know how and where to turn off the gas to the cooktop.

If you smell gas, your installer has not done a proper job of checking for leaks. Connections can loosen in transit. If the connections are not perfectly tight, you can have a small leak and therefore a faint gas smell. Finding a gas leak is not a “do-it-yourself” procedure. Some leaks can only be found with the burner control in the ON position.

Section One: General Safety Instructions

PRECAUTIONS

For proper lighting and performance of the burners, keep the ignitersclean.Itisnecessarytoclean these when there is a boil over, or when the burner does not light even though the electronic igniters click. See page 22.

The cooktop is factory

assembled for natural gas. It should be correctly adjusted by a qualified service person or installer for the type of gas with which it is used. (See page 2 for propane gas.)

Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.

Children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where appliances are in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.

CAUTION: Do not store items of interest to children above the cooktop or at the back. If children should climb onto the appliance to reach these items, they could be seriously injured.

Do not store flammable materials on or near the cooktop.

Do not use water on grease fires.

Turn appliance off and smother fire with baking soda or use a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

Never let clothing, potholders, or other flammable materials come in contact with the burners or burner grates, until they are cool to the touch.

Use only dry potholders; moist or damp potholders on hot surfacesmaycauseburnsfromsteam. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of potholders. Do not let potholders touch hot burners or burner grates.

For personal safety, wear proper apparel. Loose fitting garments or hanging sleeves should never be worn while cooking.

Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of the cooktop. Improper use of a foil liner could result in a shock, fire hazard or it could obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air. Foil is an excellent heat insulator and heat will be trapped beneath it. This will upset the cooking performance and can damage the cooktop finish.

Warning: The appliance is for cooking. Based on safety considerations never use the cooktop to warm or heat a room. Also, such use can be damaging to the cooktop.

Do not heat unopened food containers; a buildup of pressure may cause the container to burst.

When using the cooktop: DO

NOT TOUCH THE BURNER GRATES or THE IMMEDIATE SURROUNDING AREA. Areas adjacent to the burners may become hot enough to cause burns.

Never leave the burners unattended when using high flame settings. Boil overs cause smoking,andgreasyspilloversthatmay ignite. More importantly, if the flame is smothered, unburned gas will be coming into the room. See “What to do if you smell Gas”, Page 1.

Always use utensils that have flat bottoms. Hold the handle of the pan to prevent movement of the utensil when stirring or turning food.

To minimize burns, ignition of flammable materials and unintentionalspillovers,positionhandles of utensils inward so they do not extend over adjacent work areas, burners, or the edge of the cooktop.

During cooking, set the burner control so that the flame heats only the bottom of the pan and does not extend beyond the edge of the pan.

Take care that drafts like those from fans or forced air vents do not blow flammable material towardtheflamesorpush theflames so that they extend beyond the edges of a pot.

Only certain types of glass, heatproof glass-ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop use.This type of utensil may break with sudden temperature changes. Use only on low or medium flame settings according to the manufacturer’s directions.

If the cooktop is near a window, be certain the curtains do not blow over or near the burners; they could catch on fire.

In the event a burner goes out and gas escapes, open a window or a door. Do not attempt to use the cooktop until the gas has had time to dissipate. Wait at least 5 minutes before using the cooktop.

Section One: General Safety Instructions

PRECAUTIONS

Clean the cooktop with caution.

Avoid steam burns; do not use a wet sponge or cloth to clean the cooktop while it is hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.

Clean the hood above or the ventilatoratthebackofyourcooktop frequently so grease from cooking vapors does not accumulate on the filters or on the intake.

Turn the ventilator OFF in case of fire or when intentionally “flaming” liquor or other spirits on the cooktop. The blower, if in operation, could unsafely spread the flames.

The electric element is removeable, however it should neverbeimmersedinwater.Turn the element on and it will clean itself.DONOTleaveitunattended when burning off food soil.

California Proposition 65 - Warning: Burning gas cooking fuel generates some by-products which are on the list of substances which are known by the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm. California law requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances. To minimize exposure to these substances, always operate this unit according to the instructions contained in this booklet and provide good ventilation.
