SECTION ONE: GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

PRECAUTIONS

SAFETY PRACTICESTO AVOID

PERSONAL INJURY

When properly cared for, your new Thermador PROFESSIONAL® Range has been designed to be a safe, reliable appliance. However, use extreme care when using this restaurant caliber range as this type of appliance provides intense heat and can increase the accident potential. When using kitchen appliances, basic safety precautions must be followed, including the following:

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

Insure proper installation and servicing. Follow the installation instructions provided with this product. Have the range installed and grounded by a qualified technician.

Have the installer show you where the gas supply shut-off valve is located so that you know how and where to turn off the gas to the range.

If you smell gas, your installer has not done a proper job of checking for leaks. 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 and this must be done by a qualified service technician. See Inside Front Cover regarding gas leaks.

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 range.

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 range or at the back of it. If children should climb onto the appliance to reach these items, they could be seriously injured.

Never use any part of the cooktop or oven for storage. Flammable materials can catch fire and plastic items may melt or ignite.

Do not hang articles from any part of the appliance or place anything against the oven. Some fabrics are quite flammable and may catch on fire.

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

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 comeincontactwithortooclose toanyelement,burnerorburner grate until it has cooled. Fabric may ignite and result in personal injury.

Use only dry potholders: moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may cause burns from steam. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of potholders. Do not let potholders touch hot elements, hot burners, or burner grates.

Forpersonalsafety,wearproper apparel. Loose fitting garments or hanging sleeves should never be worn while using this appliance. Some synthetic fabrics are highly flammable and should not be worn while cooking.

Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of the oven or cooktop.

Use of a foil liner could result in a shock or fire hazard, or the obstruction of 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 finish of the oven or the cooktop.

Page 4

SECTION ONE: GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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

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 cooktop unattended when using high flame settings. Boil overs cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. More importantly, if the burner flames are smothered, unburned gas will escape into the room. See Inside Front Cover regarding gas leaks.

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 heat settings according to the utensil manufacturer’s directions.

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

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

Avoid using high flame setting with a pan larger than the grate or with one that spans more than one burner, such as a griddle, for prolonged periods of time. This can result in poor combustion that generates harmful by-products.

PRECAUTIONS

Use caution to insure that drafts like those from forced air vents or fans do not blow flammable material toward the flames or push the flames so that they extend beyond the edges of the pot.

Always use utensils that have flat bottoms, large enough to cover the burner. The use of undersized utensils could expose a portion of the flame and may result in ignition of clothing.

To minimize burns, ignition of flammable materials and unintentional spillovers, position handles of utensils inward so they do not extend over adjacent work areas, cooking areas, or the edge of the cooktop.

Hold the handle of the pan to prevent movement of the utensil when stirring or turning food.

DO NOT use pots or pans on the grill section.

Do not use the grill for cooking excessively fatty meats or products which promote flareups.

The optional cutting board accessory must be removed before operating the griddle beneath or burners adjacent to it.

GREASE IS FLAMMABLE. Let hot grease cool before attempting to handle it. Avoid letting grease deposits collect. Clean after each use.

For proper lighting and performance of the burners, keep the igniter ports clean. It is necessary to clean these when there is a boil over or when the burner does not light even though the electronic igniters click. See Page 39.

WARNING

After a spill or boil over, turn off the burner and clean around the burner and burner port. After cleaning, check for proper operation.

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. Follow directions provided by the cleaner manufacturer.

Be sure all cooktop controls are turned off and the cooktop is cool before using any type of aerosol cleaner on or around the cooktop. The chemical that produces the spraying action could, in the presence of heat, ignite or cause metal parts to corrode.

When using the oven: DO NOT

TOUCH THE HEATING ELE– MENTS, THE INTERIOR SUR– FACES OF THE OVEN OR THE EXTERIOR AREA IMMED– IATELY SURROUNDING THE DOOR. Even though dark in color, the heating elements may be hot. Interior oven surfaces become hot enough to cause burns. The heat deflector, which deflects heat away from the cooktop and the trim on the top and sides of the oven door, will also be hot when the oven is in use.

Place oven racks in desired position while oven is cool. If a rack must be moved while the oven is hot, do not let the potholders contact the hot heating elements.

Use care when opening the oven door; let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing foods.

Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the broiler pan, oven racks and any other utensils, and excess spillage.

Page 5

SECTION ONE: GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

PRECAUTIONS

Do not clean, rub, damage, move or remove the door gasket. It is essential for a good seal during baking and while self-cleaning the oven.

Protecttheself-cleaningfeature.

Clean only those parts indicated in this booklet. Do not use commercial oven cleaners or oven liner protective coatings of any kind in or around the large self-cleaning oven.

DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion or ventilation air.

For safety reasons and to avoid equipment damage, never sit, stand, or lean on the oven door.

Service should only be done by

authorized Technicans. Technicians must disconnect the power supply before servicing this unit.

Listen to be sure the cooling blower runs whenever the oven controls are set to broil or self-clean. If the fan does not operate, do not use the oven. Call an authorized service center for service.

Clean the ventilator hood and filters above the range frequently so grease from cooking vapors does not accumulate on them.

• In case of fire or when intentionally “flaming” liquor or other spirits on the cooktop, follow hood manufacturer’s instructions.

California Proposition 65 - Warning: The burning of gas cooking fuel and the elimination of soil during selfcleaning generate 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 to the room when cooking with gas, during and immediately after self-cleaning the oven.

BEFORE USING YOUR RANGE FOR THE FIRST TIME, CHECK THAT YOU HAVE THESE ITEMS:

SECTION TWO: BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Before UsingYour Range for the FirstTime

Remove all packaging materials and temporary labels from oven and cooktop.

1.Check that you have the items listed on Page 6.

2.Record the Model and Serial number on Page 43. See "Data Rating Plate." These may be used for any future contacts with your servicer or the factory. Enter this information on the Product Registration Card included with this product then mail it to the indicated address.

3.Optional Accessories. Grill Cover, Chopping Board, Griddle Cover and other accessories are available from your Thermador Dealer. Contact the Thermador Parts Department toll-free at 800/7354327 for more information.

4.Position the racks correctly in the oven.

The correct rack position depends on the recipe and the cooking mode. The rack positions are numbered from the bottom of the oven, like an elevator.

Rack position 3 is the most frequently used position. Place rack(s) in the proper position before turning on the oven.

Insert the racks as follows:

a.Hold the rack with the back rail in the up position towards the rear of the oven. Slip it into the oven so the rack slides are between the rack and the rack guides.

b.Tip the front of the rack up slightly as it slides into the oven so that the safety stops clear the rack slides. The safety stops on the back of the rack will keep it from sliding out of the oven when it is pulled forward.

CAUTION

Aluminum foil should never be used to cover the oven racks or to line the oven. It may cause damage to the oven. Do not remove the heating element in the electric oven.

BEFORE BAKING OR BROILING, the oven and broiler should be turned on to burn off the manufacturing oils. Turn the oven on to 450°F (230°C) for 20 to 30 minutes; then turn the broiler to "Broil" for same length of time. You may wish to turn on the ventilator above your range during this time.

SECTION FOUR: USING THE COOKTOP

USINGTHE COOKTOP

SEALED BURNERS

CONTROL KNOBS

Sealed Star™ Burner Base

The cooktop features four or six gas surface burners; each rated at 15,000 BTU/HR.The burners are sealed to the stainless steel top frame to prevent liquid spills from accumulating below the top surface, making it easier to clean.

On all models, the two left burners have the exclusive ExtraLow‚ feature; the remaining burners are standard. Each burner has its own control knob.

The control knobs for two sealed gas burners, one in front and one in the rear, are located directly in front of and below the pair of burners on the control panel.

Bezel

Standard Burner

Control Knob

The icon above each control shows whether the burner position is in the front or in the rear. A solid star indicates the location of the burner controlled by that particular knob. The drawing above shows the knob controlling the rear burner.

OPERATION OFTHE BURNERS

Press in on the knob and turn it counter-clockwise to the HI setting.

The igniter for the selected sealed burner clicks and sparks.

After flame ignition, the igniters stop clicking.

Rotate the knob to any flame setting between HI and LO.

The Blue Burner Signal Light, between the burners, will light when adjacent burners are lit.They will remain on until the burner is turned off.

BTU Output for Standard Burners

HI is equivalentto15,000 BTU/HR.

LO is equivalent to 2,100 BTU/HR.

BTU Output for ExtraLow® Burners

HI is equivalent to15,000 BTU/HR.

LO is equivalent to3,000 BTU/HR.

XLO is equivalent to370 BTU/HR.

ExtraLow® Burners

The controls for the two left burners, front and rear, have flame settings even lower than the standard LO settings.

ExtraLow® Burner

Control Knob

The drawing shows that the control knob has an additional range between the LO and XLO settings.When the knob is set within this range, the flame pulses off and on. By varying the length of time the flame is off and on, the heat is reduced even further to cook delicate foods. For example, these very low settings are suitable for simmering and poaching, melting chocolate and butter,holding cooked foods at temperatures without scorching or burning, etc.

Page 12

SECTION FOUR: USING THE COOKTOP

Operation of the ExtraLow

Burners

XLO, the very lowest setting, is achieved by cycling the flame ON for approximately 8 seconds and OFF for 52 seconds of each minute.

When the knob is set just below the LO setting, the flame will cycle ON for approximately 52 seconds and OFF for 8 seconds of each minute.

To vary the amount of low heat to suit the food and quantity, the control can be set anywhere within the LO and XLO range marked on the knob.

ExtraLow Settings

The number and dash designations, shown in the drawing, are for reference only.

They do not actually appear on the knob. The number indicates the position of the flame setting as represented on the cooking chart, pages 14 and 15, with #4 being hotter than #1.

ExtraLow Techniques

The type and quantity of food affects which setting to use.

The pan selected affects the setting. Its size, type, material, and whether a lid is used, all affect the consistency of the cooking temperature.

To maintain a low or simmer heat, bring food to a rolling boil. Stir well,then cover the pan and lower the heat to a setting just below LO.

Check periodically to see if the control knob should be turned to another setting.

If an over-size pan is used, the simmer action may occur mainly in the center of the pan. To equalize the temperature throughout the food,stir the food around the outer edges of the pan into the food in the center.

It is normal to stir food occasionally while simmering.This is especially important when simmering for several hours, such as for a homemade spaghetti sauce or beans.

When lowering the flame setting, adjust it in small steps.

If the setting is too low to hold a simmer, bring the food back to a boil before re-setting to a higher heat.

It is normal not to see simmer bubbles immediately after the food has been stirred.

There may be bubbling when the flame cycles ON and no bubbles when the flame is OFF. Even when the flame is OFF, there will be steam and a slight quiver on the liquid’s surface.
