etc., should NEVER be used on the cooktop.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Use caution to ensure 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 STAR
pots and pans could expose a portion of the flame and may
result in ignition of clothing.
WARNING!
Avoid using high flame setting with a pan larger than the

WARNING!
After a spill or boil over, turn off the STAR burner and
clean around the STAR burner and burner ports. After
cleaning, check for proper operation.
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.
When using the ovens DO NOT touch the broiler element,
the interior surfaces of the ovens 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 doors, will also be hot when
the ovens are in use.
DO NOT use pots or pans on the griddle/grill plate
accessory.
Remove the optional cutting board accessory, which is
stored on top of the griddle plate, before operating the
griddle or any adjacent STAR burners.

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 ovens. Alcohol evaporates
at high temperatures. There is a risk of burning as the
alcohol vapors may catch fire in the ovens. Use only small
quantities of alcohol in foods, and open the oven doors
carefully.
through the ventilation openings. The oven
vent is located at the back of the appliance.
The vents need to be unobstructed and
open to provide necessary airflow that is
important for proper oven performance.
DO NOT touch oven vent area while the
appliance is on and for several minutes
after the appliance is off. Some parts of the
vent and surrounding areas become hot
enough to cause burns. Allow appliance
sufficient time to cool before touching or
cleaning vent areas.
DO NOT position plastic or other heatsensitive items on or near the oven vent.
These items could melt or ignite.
Steam Oven Safety Practices
The steam oven bottom and the evaporator dish must
always remain clear. Always place ovenware on the rack or
in the perforated cooking pan.
Ovenware must be heat and steam resistant. Silicone baking
pans are not suitable for STEAM/CONVEC mode.
DO NOT place anything on the open appliance door. This
could damage the appliance.
DO NOT use the grill plate accessory for cooking
excessively fatty meats or products which promote flareups.
When cooking fatty or oily foods on burners, the grill, or the
griddle, adjacent gas burners can ignite airborne fumes.
Use caution to avoid burns.
When using STEAM mode with a perforated cooking pan,
always slide the baking pan underneath it. The pan will catch
any drippings.
CAUTION!
• Hot steam can escape when opening the oven door.
Hot water may drip from the door. Keep children
away.
• DO NOT touch the ventilation openings.
DO NOT store moist foods for an extended period of time in
the closed steam oven. The food could cause corrosion of
the oven interior.
DO NOT overfill very juicy fruit tortes with fruit when using
the baking pan. The fruit juice that drips off the baking pan
leaves behind stains that cannot be removed.
When using aluminum foil in the steam oven, DO NOT allow
it to touch the glass on the door. This could cause
permanent staining of the door glass.
DO NOT place food directly on oven bottom. Follow the
manufacturer’s directions.
DO NOT clean the steam oven while it is still hot. Some
cleaners produce noxious fumes when applied to a hot
surface. Wet cloths or sponges can cause burns from steam.
Risk of severe burns! DO NOT clean the steam oven
immediately after turning it off. The water in the evaporator
dish is still hot. Wait until the appliance has cooled down.
The door will no longer close properly if the door gasket is
heavily soiled. The face of adjacent furnishings could
become damaged. Always keep the door gasket clean and
contact a THERMADOR Service Technician to replace if
necessary.
The oven cavity is made of high quality stainless steel.
Improper care may result in corrosion of the oven cavity.
Follow the care and cleaning instructions provided in this
manual. Remove food residue and spills from the cavity
immediately after the steam oven has cooled down.

IMPORTANT:
Always remove the oven racks before self-cleaning the
oven. If the gliding racks remain in the oven during SelfClean, lubricants in the glide mechanisms of each rack will
be lost and the finish will discolor.
Placing Racks in the Oven:
Each gliding oven rack can be pulled out and pushed back
into the oven with minimal effort — even while supporting a
large turkey or roast.
IMPORTANT:
All oven knobs and selectors must be set to OFF
before powering up the range.
To prevent unintended operation at power up, please set
all oven knobs to OFF. To ensure customer safety in the
event of power failure, the unit will display an error
message upon reinstatement of power unless all oven
knobs are set to OFF. Set all oven knobs to OFF and
reset the breaker to clear the message.
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.

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. Improper use of aluminum
foil may damage the oven.

5. Ensure that the STAR
burner caps are correctly
seated on the burner bases of the range's cooktop.
Turn on each STAR burner to check for proper flame
color. See “Flame Description” on page 22 for details.
6. Before baking or broiling, the convection 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 2hour cycle at high heat then shut off the oven.
• Turn on kitchen ventilation (or if vent hood is a
recirculation type, open a window). Run the SelfClean cycle. Please read “Care and Maintenance”
on page 79 before cleaning the oven racks.
®
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.
Please note that some pets or humans can be sensitive to
the odors created during the self-cleaning process whether
it is a manufacturing residue burn off or food, so it is
recommended that those potentially affected be removed
from the kitchen area during the self-clean process.
NOTE:
It is normal for the cooling process to push heated air out
into the room when the oven is on.

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

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.
POWERBOOST
®
The POWERBOOST, or XHI, is located at the right-front
position of the rangetop. 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.

Burner Cap Placement
• Check each burner to make sure there is no gap
between the burner cap and burner base. See Figure
12 and Figure 13 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 12.
WARNING!
To prevent flare-ups and avoid the creation of harmful
by-products, do not use the rangetop without all burner
caps and all burner grates properly positioned.
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 burns, do not touch burner caps or grates
while hot. Turn the cooktop off and allow the burners to
cool.

Figure 14: 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 (see Figure 12 and Figure 13).
CAUTION!
DO NOT touch the STAR burners when the igniters are
sparking. Ensure that the knobs are set to OFF and the
burners and caps have cooled before touching.
Figure 13: Incorrect Burner Cap Placement
English 21
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.
• 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.
Power Failure
• 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
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.

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.
Flame Description
Yellow Flames:
Further Adjustment is required.
Yellow Tips on Outer Cones:
Normal for LP Gas
Soft Blue Flames:
Normal for Natural Gas
If the flame is completely or mostly yellow, verify that the
regulator is set for the correct fuel. After adjustment,
retest.
Some orange-colored streaking is normal during the
initial start-up. Allow unit to operate 4-5 minutes and reevaluate before making adjustments.
Figure 15: Flame Characteristics
• 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
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.

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.
• 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.
Figure 16: Base Diameter
• 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 5½”
(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 17: 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 18: 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 19: Covered Pan
English 23
Specialty Cookware
Figure 20: 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 Surface Burner
Cooking Recommendations
Use the chart on page 25 through page 26 as a guide. The
settings you use will vary depending on the pans selected
and the starting temperature of the food.
Figure 21: 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” (51 mm) 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 6½”
to 12” depth (165–305 mm).
On the chart, the “Finish Setting” has been separated for
the Standard and ExtraLow
or may not be a change between the two burner settings.
The ExtraLow setting can be either a cooking or a holding
setting.
Raise or lower the flame setting gradually. Allow time for
the pan and the food to adjust to the new setting.
