PRECAUTIONS

SAFETY PRACTICES TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY

Your new Thermador
PROFESSIONAL Indoor Grill has
been designed to be a safe, reliable
appliance when properly used and
cared for. If not properly used, it
could be dangerous. Read all
instructions in this Care and Use
Manual carefully before using this
Grill.

!

WARNING: These pre­cautions will reduce the risk
of burns, electric shock, fire,
and injury to persons. Use ex­treme care when using this
restaurant caliber Grill as this
appliance provides intense
heat and can increase the ac­cident potential.

• When using kitchen appli­ances, these basic safety pre­cautions must be followed:

• Insure proper installation
and servicing. Follow the instal-

lation instructions provided with
this product. Have the Grill 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 Grill.

• 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” pro-

cedure. 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 the 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 Grill until the gas has had time
to dissipate. Wait at least 5 min-

utes before using the Grill.

• Do not repair or replace any
part of the appliance unless

specifically recommended in this
manual.
