English 3
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.

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

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.
English 12
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.
BTU Output for POWERBOOSTTM
TM
• XHI
• SIM is equivalent to 3,000 BTU / HR
• XLO
for the POWERBOOSTTM is equivalent to
22,000 BTU / HR (18,000 BTU / HR using Propane).
®
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.

”
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.

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.

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).

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.
Oven Functions
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).
