IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Never use any part of the range 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 range burners; they could catch on fire.

WARNING:

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A GREASE FIRE:
• Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.
• Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambéing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).
• Clean hood filters frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
• Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the cooktop burner.
Always have a working smoke detector near the kitchen.

WARNING:

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS, IN THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
Smother flames with a close-fitting lid, cookie sheet, or other metal tray, then turn off the gas burner or the electric element. Be careful to prevent burns. If the flames do not go out immediately, Evacuate and call the fire department.
Never pick up a flaming pan — You may be burned.
DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dish cloths or towels — a violent steam explosion will result.
Use an extinguisher only if:
• You know you have a class ABC extinguisher and you already know how to operate it.
• The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.
• The fire department is being called.
• You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
Never let clothing, potholders, or other flammable materials come in contact with or too close to any element, top burner or burner grate until it has cooled. Fabric may ignite and result in personal injury.
In the event that personal clothing or hair catches fire, drop and roll immediately to extinguish flames.
Have an appropriate fire extinguisher available, nearby, highly visible and easily accessible near the cooking appliance.
Smother flames from food fires, other than grease fires, with baking soda. Never use water on cooking fires.
Whenever possible, do not operate the ventilation system during a cooktop fire. However, do not reach through fire to turn it off.
English 4
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.
For personal safety, wear proper 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 range. 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 range.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Only certain types of glass, heatproof glass-ceramic,

WARNING:

NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating of the oven.

WARNING — RANGE TIPPING HAZARD:

All ranges can tip and injury can result. To prevent accidental tipping of the range, attach it to the floor, wall, or cabinet by installing the Anti-Tip Device supplied.
A risk of tip-over may exist if the appliance is not installed in accordance with these instructions.
If the range is pulled away from the wall for cleaning, service, or any other reason, ensure that the Anti-Tip Device is properly reengaged when the range is pushed back against the wall. In the event of abnormal usage (such as a person standing, sitting, or leaning on an open door), failure to take this precaution can result in tipping of the range. Personal injury might result from spilled hot liquids or from the range itself.

WARNING:

NEVER cover any slots, holes, or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven. Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fire hazard.
ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed cookware are suitable for cooking on the range burners. This type of cookware may break with sudden temperature changes. Use only on low or medium heat settings according to the utensil manufacturer’s directions.
Do not heat or warm unopened food containers. Build-up of pressure may cause the container to burst and cause injury.
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.

WARNING:

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.
Bakeware, such as large casserole pans, cookie sheets, etc., should never be used on the cooktop.
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 pots and pans that have flat bottoms large enough to cover the burner. The use of undersized pots and pans could expose a portion of the flame and may result in ignition of clothing.
Do not use flammable cleaners to clean the range.

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 range unattended when using high flame settings. Boil overs cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. Also, if the burner flames and igniter are smothered with spillage, unburned gas will escape into the room. See page 1 regarding gas leaks.
To minimize the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials and unintentional spillage, position handles of pots and pans inward so they do not extend over adjacent work areas, cooking areas, or the edge of the range's cooktop.
Hold the handle of the pan to prevent movement when stirring or turning food.
DO NOT use pots or pans on the grill plate accessory. Do not use the grill plate accessory for cooking excessively
fatty meats or products which promote flare-ups.
English 5
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Remove the optional cutting board or griddle cover accessory, which is stored on top of the griddle plate, before operating the griddle or any adjacent burners.
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 the ports when there is a boil over or when the burner does not light even though the electronic igniters activate. See cleaning instructions “Brass Star® Burner Base and Cast Iron Cap” on page 36.

WARNING:

After a spill or boil over, turn off the burner and using caution due to possible hot surfaces, clean around the burner and burner ports. After cleaning, check for proper operation.

WARNING:

To avoid possible burn or fire hazard, a backguard designed specifically for this range must be installed whenever the range is used.
Clean the range with caution. Avoid steam burns; do not use a wet sponge or cloth to clean the range 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 broiler element, the interior surfaces of the oven or the exterior area immediately surrounding the door. 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.
Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the broiler pan, oven racks, temperature probe and any other utensils, and excess spillage.
Do not clean, rub, damage, move or remove the door gasket. It is essential for a good seal during baking. If the gasket becomes worn or excessively soiled with food particles, replace gasket to assure a tight seal.
Protect the self-cleaning feature. 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 self-cleaning oven(s).
DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion or ventilation air. For safety reasons and to avoid damage to the range,
never sit, stand, or lean on the oven door. Service should only be done by authorized technicians.
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 BAKE modes, after oven heats to 300°F/ 149°C — see “Automatic operation of the cooling blower:” on page 30. If the fan does not operate, do not use the oven. Call an authorized service center for service.
To avoid a fire hazard, grease accumulation must be prevented by frequently cleaning the ventilation hood and filters.
In case of fire or when intentionally “flaming” liquor or other spirits on the range's cooktop, follow manufacturer’s instructions. Use caution when cooking foods with high alcohol content (e.g. rum, brandy, bourbon) in the oven. Alcohol evaporates at high temperatures. There is a risk of burning as the alcohol vapors may catch fire in the oven. Use only small quantities of alcohol in foods, and open the oven door carefully.
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 broiler element.
Use care when opening the oven door; let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing foods.
English 6
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE:
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.
The burning of gas cooking fuel and the elimination of soil during self-cleaning can generate some by-products which are on the list. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by:
1. Providing good ventilation when cooking with gas.
2. Providing good ventilation during and immediately after self cleaning the oven.
3. Operating the unit according to the instructions in this manual.
Do not store or use corrosive chemicals, vapors, flammables, or nonfood products in or near this appliance. It is specifically designed for use when heating or cooking food. The use of corrosive chemicals while heating or cleaning will damage the appliance and could result in injury.

English 7
Remove all packaging materials and temporary labels from oven and cooktop. Please, recycle the packaging material as all
THERMADOR® packaging is recyclable.
1. Check that you have the items listed in Table 1.
2. Record the Model and Serial number on page 41. See “Data Rating Labels” found on the Rating Label Plate. Rating Label Plate is located on the right side of the range between the oven cavity and side panel (see Figure 35 on Page 41). These may be used for any future contacts with Customer Service. Enter this information on the Product Registration Card included with this product then mail it to the indicated address.
3. Optional Accessories: Grill Plate, Chopping Board, Griddle Cover, Wok Support Ring, Toe Kick, and other
accessories are available from your THERMADOR® dealer.
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.

IMPORTANT:

Always remove the Full Access® oven racks before self­cleaning the oven. If the gliding racks remain in the oven during Self-Clean, lubricants in the glide mechanisms of each rack will be lost and the finish will discolor.

WARNING:

To help prevent burns, NEVER remove or reposition the oven racks while the oven is ON
or while the oven is cooling.
Always remove
before Self Clean
Figure 1: Main Oven Rack Positions

Placing Rack In Oven:
To insert a rack in the oven, hold the rack with the back rail up toward the back. Place the safety hooks under the front of the rail guides. Push the rack into the oven, lifting the rack stops over the front of the rail guides. Slide the rack into position.
When placing food on a rack, pull the rack out to the stop position. The racks are designed to lock and not tilt while in fully-extended position.
English 8
Removing Rack from Oven:
To remove or reposition a rack in the oven, pull the rack toward the front of the oven. Lift up the front of the rack over the safety stops and pull the rack from the oven.

Note:

It is normal for the cooling process to push heated air out into the room when the oven is on.
The THERMADOR PROFESSIONAL® range occasionally has a smell or smoke when first used. These smells or smoke comes from the burning off of manufacturing residues and is typical of any new oven regardless of manufacturer. Before baking or broiling, the oven and broiler should be turned on to burn off the manufacturing oils using one of the two following methods:
— Turn on kitchen ventilation (or if vent hood is a
recirculation type open a window). Set oven at 500ºF/ 260ºC and let the oven go through a 2 hour cycle at high heat then shut off the oven. Please read “Care and Maintenance” on page 34 before cleaning the oven racks.
— Turn on kitchen ventilation (or if vent hood is a
recirculation type open a window). Remove oven racks. Set oven into self clean cycle and let self clean run (see “Self-Cleaning the Oven(s)” on page 34).
IMPORTANT: When placing the gliding rack in the
oven, make sure the front supports on the rack guides rest in the large slots at the front corners of the rack, as shown. This is necessary to keep the rack in the correct position while fully inserted into the oven.

Figure 3: Side View of Rack on the Rack Guide

CAUTION:

Aluminum foil should never be used to cover the oven racks or to line the oven. Do not remove the broiler element in the electric oven.

Please note that pet birds can be sensitive to the odors created during any high heat cooking whether it is a manufacturing residue burn off or food so it is recommended that birds be removed from the kitchen area.

6. Ensure that the burner caps are correctly seated on the burner bases of the range's cooktop (see Figure 14 and Figure 15 on Page 15). Turn on each burner to check for proper flame color. See “Flame Description” on page 16 for details.

Using The Cooktop

Sealed Star® Burners

Figure 9: Standard Star® Burner Control Knob

The symbol near each burner control knob identifies the burner position on the range cooktop. The symbols shown in Figure 10 are indicative of 48” range models.

Figure 8: Star® Brass Burner Base

The cooktop features four or six gas surface Star® burners; the right-front Star® Burner is rated at 22,000 BTU/HR (18,000 BTU/HR using Propane) and all other Star®
burners are rated at 18,000 BTU/HR (15,000 BTU/ HR using Propane).
Each burner has a unique QuickCleanTM Base feature which allows the burner and area around the burner to be easier to clean.
On all models, the two left and two right burners have the exclusive ExtraLow® feature, any remaining burners are Standard. Each Star® Burner has its own control knob.

Control Knobs

Typically, a pair of control knobs is located on the control panel, directly in front of the pair of gas Star® burners they control — with one gas Star® Burner positioned in front of
the other on the rangetop.

Operation of the Burners

Press in on the knob and turn it counter-clockwise to
the setting.
The igniter for the selected burner sparks to ignite the burner.
After flame ignition, the igniter stops sparking.
Rotate the knob to any flame setting between HI and SIM.
A blue light is positioned directly above each burner control knob. The light turns on when the control knob is rotated to an active mode. It is off when the control knob is in the OFF position.

BTU Output for Standard Star® Burners

Operation of the ExtraLow® Burner

HI is equivalent to 18,000 BTU / HR (15,000 BTU / HR using Propane).
SIM is equivalent to 2,100 BTU / HR.

BTU Output for ExtraLow Star® Burners

HI is equivalent to 18,000 BTU / HR (15,000 BTU / HR using Propane).
SIM is equivalent to 3,000 BTU / HR.
XLO® is equivalent to 375 BTU / HR when the control knob is adjusted to the lowest setting in the ExtraLow®
range.

ExtraLow® Burners

The controls for the two left and two right burners, front and rear, have flame settings even lower than the standard SIM settings (see Figure 10 on Page 12).
Figure 11 shows that the control knob has an additional range between the SIM and XLO® settings. When the knob
is set within this range, the flame cycles 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.
XLO®, the very lowest setting, is achieved by cycling the flame ON for approximately 7 seconds and OFF for 53 seconds of each minute.
When the knob is rotated just beyond the SIM setting, the flame will cycle ON for approximately 54 seconds and OFF for 6 seconds of each minute.
To vary the amount of low heat, the control can be set anywhere within the SIM and XLO® range marked on
the knob.

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 SIM.
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.

Figure 11: ExtraLow Star® Burner Control Knob

POWERBOOST
The POWERBOOSTTM, or XHITM, is located at the right-front position of the rangetop. The XHITM is 4,000 BTU greater on its highest setting than any other Star® Burner. It offers the convenience to quickly boil water, sear steaks, stir-fry vegetables, etc. Use of the SIM and XLO® remains the same as the other XLO® Knobs (see Figure 10 on Page 12).

English 13
Electronic Single Point Ignition
If a burner fails to ignite, refer to “Before Calling For Service” on page 41.

Automatic Re-Ignition

If any one or more burners blow out, the electronic igniter automatically activates to re-light the flame. Do not touch the Star® burners when the igniters are active.

IMPORTANT:

For proper combustion, do not use the cooktop without the burner grates in place.
There is a slight sound associated with gas combustion and ignition. This is normal.
Ignitor

On cooktops using propane (LP) gas, a slight “pop” sound may be heard from the Star® burner ports a few seconds after the burner has been turned off.

Burner Cap Placement

Figure 12: Igniter

Figure 13: Star® Burner Components

Each Star® burner has its own electronic igniter that sparks when the burner is turned on. Each burner should light in 4 seconds or less. If a burner does not light, check to see that the burner cap is positioned correctly on the base.
The burner caps must be properly placed on the Star® burner bases for the cooktop to function properly. If the burner cap is not properly placed, one or more of the following problems may occur.
Burner flames are too high.
Flames shoot out of burners.
Burners do not ignite.
Burner flames light unevenly.
Burner emits gas odor.

WARNING:

To prevent flare-ups and avoid the creation of harmful by-products, do not use the cooktop without all burner caps and all burner grates properly positioned.

WARNING:

To prevent burns, do not touch burner caps or grates while hot. Turn the cooktop off and allow the burners to cool.
English 14

CAUTION

Do not touch the Star® burners when the igniters are sparking.

Checking Burner Cap Placement

Power Failure

Check each burner to make sure there is no gap between the burner cap and burner base. See Figure 14 and Figure 15 for examples of correct and incorrect placements of the burner cap.
You may gently try to move the burner caps from side to side to check if the caps are properly placed on the burner bases. When properly placed, each burner cap will rest flat on top of its burner base, and completely cover the star-shape of the burner base when viewed from the top as shown in Figure 14.
In the event of a power failure, only the Standard
burners can be manually lit. It is necessary to light each one individually.
If the cooktop is being used when the power failure occurs, turn all knobs to the OFF position.
The Standard Star® burners can be lit by holding a match at the ports and turning the control knob to the HI position. Wait until the flame is burning all around the burner cap before adjusting the flame to the desired level.
Do not attempt to light the two left and two right XLO® burners manually during a power failure. These
®
burners are equipped with the ExtraLow cannot be lit manually.
If an ExtraLow burner is on when a power failure occurs, it cannot be turned back on until the knob is first turned to the OFF position.
The griddle or grill accessory cannot be used during a power failure.
If you smell gas, refer to safety precautions listed on page 1.
feature and

Figure 14: Correct Burner Cap Placement

WARNING:

In the event of a power failure, turn all knobs to the OFF Position. Only the Standard Star®
burners can be lit manually.

Flame Height

The correct flame height depends on 1) size and material of pan being used; 2) food being cooked; and
3) amount of liquid in the pan.
Never extend the flame beyond the base of the pan.
Use a low or medium flame for pan materials that conduct the heat slowly, such as porcelain coated steel or glass-ceramic.

Figure 15: Incorrect Burner Cap Placement

English 15

Flame Description

Figure 16: Flame Colors

The burner flame color should be blue with no yellow on the tips. It is common to see orange in the flame color; this indicates the burning of airborne impurities and will disappear with use
With propane (LP) gas, slight yellow tips on the primary cone are normal.
The flame should burn completely around the burner cap. If it doesn’t, check that the cap is positioned correctly on the base and that the ports are not blocked.
The flame should be stable with no excessive noise or fluttering.

WARNING:

This product contains or, through ordinary use for its intended purpose, facilitates emission of chemicals or other substances known to the State of California to cause cancer and/or birth defects or other reproductive harm. To minimize exposure to these chemicals:
1) The burners should be adjusted by a certified installer or agency to ensure proper combustion.
2) Ensure proper ventilation with an open window or use a ventilation fan or hood when cooking with gas.
3) Always operate the unit according to the instructions in this manual.
English 16

Cookware Recommendations

WARNING:

To avoid risk of serious injury, damage to appliance or cookware, please observe the following:
Bakeware, such as large casserole pans, cookie sheets, etc. should never be used on the cooktop.
Placement of large stock pots should be staggered when used on the cooktop.
Figure 17: Base Diameter
Do not let plastic, paper or cloth come in contact with a hot burner grate. They may melt or catch fire.
Never let a pan boil dry. This can damage your pan and the cooking surface.
Professional quality pans with metal handles are recommended because plastic handles can melt or blister if the flame extends up the side of the pan. Professional quality pans are found at restaurant supply stores and gourmet specialty shops. All cookware should have these characteristics: good heat conductivity, good balance, correctly sized base diameter, a heavy, flat base, and a proper fitting lid.
For best cooking results, the flame should be contained under the bottom of the pan.
Aluminum and copper are pan materials that conduct the heat quickly and evenly. These metals are sometimes attached to the base or in the core between stainless steel.
Select the base diameter to match the diameter of the flame. The diameter of the flame should be the same size as the pan base or slightly smaller. Oversize or under size pans sacrifice cooking performance. A 5 (140 mm) base size is generally the smallest recommended.
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.
Figure 18: Balanced Pan
Balance is important for stability and even cooking. The handle must not be heavier than the pan and tilt it unevenly. A pan must sit level on the grate without rocking or wobbling.
Food packaged in aluminum foil should not be placed directly on the burner grate. Aluminum foil can melt during cooking.
1
/
2
Figure 19: Flat Base Pan
A heavy, flat base is more apt to remain flat when heated. Pan bases that are warped, dented, ridged or too lightweight will heat unevenly. Heat and cool pans gradually to avoid sudden temperature changes which tend to distort cookware. Do not add cold water to a hot pan.
A properly fitting lid will shorten cooking time and make it possible to use lower heat settings.
Figure 20: Covered Pan
English 17

Specialty Cookware

Figure 21: Flat-bottom Wok Pan

Canning Tips:

A flat base pan is preferred to one with a concave, convex or rippled base.
When using two canners at the same time, use staggered burners. Do not block air to the burners. A flame needs the right amount of air for complete combustion.
Use a cover on a canner when bringing the contents to a boil.
Once the contents have reached a boil on HI, use the lowest flame possible to maintain the boil or pressure.
Canning produces a large amount of steam. Take precautions to prevent burns.

Suggestions For Using the Recommendations

Use the chart on page 19 through page 20 as a guide. The settings you use will vary depending on the pans selected and the starting temperature of the food.

Figure 22: Round-Bottom Wok in Support Ring

Woks — Either flat based or round bottom woks with the accessory ring can be used on all models. Round bottom woks must be used with a support ring. The Wok pan and the porcelain-coated cast iron wok support ring must be purchased separately (PWOKRINGHC).
Canners and Stock Pots — Select one with a base diameter that extends no more than 2” (51mm) beyond the grate.

Standard Size Water Bath Canner

21 to 22 quarts (19.95 to 20.9 liters), with an 11” to 12” base (279–305 mm) and a 9” to 11” depth (229–279 mm).

Standard Size Pressure Canner

8 to 22 quarts (7.6 to 20.9 liters), with an 8” to 11” base (203–279 mm) and a 6

Using the Electric Griddle (available on some models)

Description

The built-in griddle is made of restaurant-quality aluminum that has a non-stick titanium coating. This produces a surface with even heat that is easy to clean.
A maple chopping block, stainless steel cover, and coated­aluminum grill plate are available as accessories and are purchased separately. The maple chopping block and stainless steel cover are sized to fit on top of the surface when the griddle is not being used. The coated-aluminum grill plate accessory is designed to replace the griddle plate. See the instructions that come with the grill plate accessory for more details.
The maple chopping block and stainless steel cover must be removed before turning the griddle on.
The electric griddle element is rated 120 volts AC, 1,630 watts.
CAUTION:
The griddle element is hot after use. Allow sufficient time for griddle components to cool before cleaning.
WARNING:
To avoid risk of injury, never operate griddle without the griddle plate or grill plate accessory installed. Never use griddle in a manner that is not prescribed by the Use and Care Guide.

Griddle Control Knob

Figure 24: Griddle Control Knob
The griddle is electronically controlled with temperatures marked on the knob from 150°– 500°F (66°–260°C).
There are no fixed settings on the knob.
Press and turn the knob clockwise to the temperature setting.

Preparing the Griddle

The griddle must be tilted slightly forward for optimum performance. See Installation Manual for procedure to check and adjust griddle for proper tilt of griddle plate. The griddle plate is tilted slightly from the factory (Figure 23); however, during installation the installer is responsible for leveling the product.
Leveling Screws
Figure 23: Griddle Plate Leveling Screws
The griddle plate (or grill plate accessory) must always be in place when the griddle is turned on.
The griddle plate should be washed with warm soapy water then rinsed with clear water prior to use.The griddle may be used without any butter, margarine or oil. However, a very small amount may be used to flavor foods.
Any utensil may be used on the griddle surface. Care should be taken that the surface is not gouged when utensils are used. Do not cut directly on the griddle plate.
NOTICE:
Griddle/Grill performance may vary if there is an excessive amount of airflow in the vicinity of the appliance. The excessive airflow could be from an air-conditioning register or ceiling fan blowing at the cooktop. This could create lon­ger than normal heat-up time, or it could cause the Griddle/ Grill temperature to be higher or lower than the knob set­ting.
Note:
Having a properly installed ventilation hood is not considered a source of excessive airflow.

3. CANCEL clears all oven operations.
Figure 26: Oven Setting Controls

Kitchen Timer

The Kitchen Timer can be set for up to 12 hours. It can be used despite whether the range is in operation and independently of all other functions. The kitchen timer is non-operational when the steam oven is in a cooking mode (PRD486JDSG model only).

Cook Timer

The Cook Timer is intended to mechanically shut the oven off when the desired cooking time is complete. Cook timer is only available for Bake, Convection Bake, Roast, and Convection Roast. It is not available for Broil, Convection Broil, or Self Clean. The Cook Timer can be activated at anytime during the cooking cycle.
To set the timer:

1. Press ENTER.

2. Use the “+” and “-” buttons to select either KITCHEN TIMER or COOK TIMER.

3. Press ENTER.

4. Press the “+” and “-” buttons to select desired time.

5. A beep sounds when the timer ends. Press CANCEL terminate the beep and timer.

Note:

Cook Time cannot be used if a temperature probe
is in use.
The maximum Cook Time setting is 12 hours.

Using the Offset Feature

The OFFSET feature is located at SETTINGS > OFFSET. It allows the cook to further fine-tune their cooking parameters to their own personal optimal settings by allowing them to adjust the temperature offset of the oven by +/-95°F (35°C) in increments of 5°F. For example, if the cook judges the oven temperature as too hot and wants to lower it by 5°, press the “-“ button, and vice versa for positive temperatures. This feature is useful if you find that food is consistently either too brown or too light for your tastes.
• The oven must be turned off in order to set an offset value.
• The Offset feature is available for all modes except Self-Clean.
• By default, the temperature is set at 0°.
• The unit will continue to run the inputted offset value indefinitely until the user manually chooses to render it otherwise or until the unit loses power, in which case Offset will need to be reset.
English 23

Using the Sabbath Mode

Programming the Meat Probe

Sabbath Mode is for faiths with “No Work” requirements on the Sabbath. It keeps an oven on at a specified temperature for as long as it is required. The cook can prepare a meal prior to a holiday and then leave it in the always-warm oven until it is ready to be eaten.
The oven lamp is disabled in Sabbath mode to prevent any action from occurring at any time the door is opened.
The temperature in Sabbath Mode can be varied at any time during the cooking process.
The gas burners and griddle on the cooktop are still fully functional during Sabbath mode.
For double oven models, Sabbath Mode is available for both ovens, but not at the same time.
Sabbath Mode is only available when the range is not already in another active cooking mode or Self-Clean.
If the door is opened during preheat or during a cycle operation, there will be no change to the current state of the oven. That is to say, if the bake element was on before the door was opened, the element will remain on. If the element was cycled off just before the door was opened, it will remain off even though it would normally cycle back on with the call for heat. The regular cycle will resume once the door is closed.
To set the Sabbath Mode:

1. Place rack and food at the desired rack position and shut oven door.

2. Turn the Temperature Selector Knob (see Figure 31 on Page 27) to desired selection.

After both knobs have been turned to the desired
setting, the readout will display “Preheating [| …]” with the selected cooking mode (for example, “Bake”) and the desired temperature (“350°F/ 177°C”).

3. Using the Oven controls, press the “+” or “-” buttons to choose duration times from 0-99Hrs.

When the timer reaches “0:00”, the cooking mode will be finished and the display will beep. The oven will automatically turn off when the specified cooking time is complete.

The meat probe allows you more control over how your foods are cooked by automatically disabling the specified cooking mode when a dish's desired temperature, defined by the cook, has been reached.

1. In the Main Oven, or in the Secondary Oven on select models, flip the cap of the outlet up (see Figure 7 on Page 11).

Cable
Probe
Plug
Figure 27: Meat Probe

2. Insert the plug end into the outlet (Figure 27).

The PROBE temperature selection screen only
appears when the probe is inserted into the plug-in.
Control screen will automatically display PROBE
and default to 160ºF/ 71ºC

3. Insert probe end into the meat.

To avoid damaging the probe, ensure that the meat
is fully defrosted before inserting the probe.
Insert the probe until its tip is rested in the center of
the thickest, meatiest portion of the meat. Ensure that the probe does not touch bone, fat, or gristle.
The probe should not touch any part of the cooking
dish or parts of the oven, as this will affect the accuracy of the results.

4. Close the oven door.

5. Press the (-) to decrease or (+) to increase to the desired internal temperatures to be met.

6. Select the desired cooking mode and oven temperature using the knobs on the control panel.

The probe function is only available for Bake,
Convection Bake, Roast, and Convection Roast modes.
Probe is not available when Cook Timer has been
set.
The range for the probe temperature is between
160ºF (71ºC) and 200 ºF (93ºC).

7. When the actual probe temperature reaches the desired set temperature, the cooking mode will be finished and the “end of cook timer” will beep to indicate that the cooking process has concluded.

Probe Care and Use

To avoid damaging your probe, do not pull on the cable when trying to remove it from a dish.
Do not use tongs or other instruments to pry on the probe when removing it or to ‘hammer’ the probe into a food dish.
Do not wash probe in the dishwasher; use warm, soapy water instead to clean it.
To prevent possible burns, wait until the oven has cooled before trying to remove the probe from the outlet.
Do not store probe inside the oven.

Tips for Bake

Preheating the Oven
Most cooking times in recipes are designed for a preheated oven and require that the oven already be at a certain temperature before cooking starts. Refer to your recipe for
preheating recommendations the temperature setting and the number of racks in the oven (refer also to “To Set the Ovens” on page 27).
Getting the Best Results
Minimize opening the door:
Use the built-in timer.
Use the interior oven light.
Use the bakeware recommended in the recipe.
Store the broiler pan(s) outside the oven. An extra pan without food, affects the browning and cooking.
The type of pan used affects the browning:
For tender, golden brown crusts, use light
non-stick/anodized or shiny metal pans.
For brown crisp crusts, use dark non-stick/
anodized or dark, dull metal pans or glass bakeware. These may require lowering the bake temperature 25°F (14°C).
Bakeware Type
Metal bakeware (with or without a non-stick finish), heat-proof glass, glass-ceramic, pottery, or other utensils are suitable for the oven.
Suitable cookie sheets have a small lip on one side only. Heavy sheets or those with more than one side may affect the baking time.
The 36" and 48" (914mm and 1219mm) ovens will hold a full-sized commercial baking sheet (18" x 26") (457mm x 660mm).
