SAFETY PRACTICES TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY
When properly cared for, your new Thermador
Professional® Range has been designed to be a safe,
reliable appliance. However, use extreme care when using
this restaurant caliber range as this type of appliance
provides intense heat. When using kitchen appliances,
basic safety precautions must be followed, including the
following:
Read this Care and Use Manual carefully before using your
new range to reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or
injury to persons.
Insure proper installation and servicing. Follow the
installation instructions provided with this product. Have the
range installed and electrically grounded by a qualified
technician.
Have the installer show you where the gas supply shut-off
valve is located so that you know how and where to turn off
the gas to the range.
Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless
specifically recommended in this manual. All other
servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
Children should not be left alone or unattended in an area
where appliances are in use. They should never be allowed
to sit or stand on any part of the appliance. If children are
allowed to use the appliance, they must be closely
supervised.
Have an appropriate fire extinguisher available, nearby,
highly visible and easily accessible near the appliance. DO
NOT USE WATER ON GREASE FIRES.
Turn appliance off and smother fire with baking soda or use
a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
Never let clothing, potholders, or other flammable materials
come in contact with or too close to any infrared burner, top
burner or burner grate until it has cooled. Fabric may ignite
and result in personal injury.
Use only dry potholders: moist or damp potholders on hot
surfaces may cause burns from steam. Do not use a towel
or other bulky cloth in place of potholders. Do not let
potholders touch hot infrared burners, 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.
WARNING:
Do not store items of interest to children above
or at the back of the range. If children should
climb onto the appliance to reach these items,
they could be seriously injured.
When children become old enough to operate the
appliance, it is the legal responsibility of the parents or
legal guardians to ensure that they are instructed in safe
practices by qualified persons.
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:
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 and may
cause carbon monoxide poisoning.
Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat,
causing a fire hazard.

SAFETY PRACTICES TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY
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:
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.
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.
During cooking, set the burner control so that the flame
heats only the bottom of the pan and does not extend
beyond the bottom of the pan.
Avoid using high flame setting with a pan larger than the
grate or with one that spans more than one burner, such as
a griddle, for prolonged periods of time. This can result in
poor combustion that generates harmful by-products.
Use caution to insure that drafts like those from forced air
vents or fans do not blow flammable material toward the
flames or push the flames so that they extend beyond the
edges of the pot.
Always use utensils that have flat bottoms large enough to
cover the burner. The use of undersized utensils could
expose a portion of the flame and may result in ignition of
clothing.
Bakeware, such as large casserole pans, cookie sheets,
etc., should never be used on the cooktop.
Do not use flammable cleaners to clean the range.
To minimize the risk of burns, ignition of flammable
materials and unintentional spillage, position handles of
utensils 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 of the
utensil when stirring or turning food.
DO NOT use pots or pans on the grill plate accessory.
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. More importantly, if the burner flames are
smothered, unburned gas will escape into the room. See
Inside Front Cover regarding gas leaks.
Only certain types of glass, heatproof glass-ceramic,
ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are
suitable for cooking on the range burners. This type of
utensil may break with sudden temperature changes. Use
only on low or medium heat settings according to the
utensil manufacturer’s directions.
Do not heat unopened food containers; a buildup of
pressure may cause the container to burst.
Do not use the grill plate accessory for cooking excessively
fatty meats or products which promote flare-ups.
The optional cutting board accessory must be removed
before operating the griddle beneath it or burners adjacent
to it.
GREASE IS FLAMMABLE. Let hot grease cool before
attempting to handle it. Avoid letting grease deposits
collect. Clean after each use.
For proper lighting and performance of the burners, keep
the igniter ports clean. It is necessary to clean these when
there is a boil over or when the burner does not light even
though the electronic igniters activate. See “Cleaning
Recommendations” on page 28.
English 5
SAFETY PRACTICES TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY
WARNING:
After a spill or boil over, turn off the burner and
clean around the burner and burner ports. After
cleaning, check for proper operation.
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 INFRARED
BURNER, 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.
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 infrared burner.
Use care when opening the oven door; let hot air or
steam escape before removing or replacing foods.
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.
DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion or ventilation air.
For safety reasons and to avoid equipment damage, never
sit, stand, or lean on the oven door.
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 hood 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.
WARNING:
To avoid possible burn or fire hazard, a
backguard designed specifically for this range
must be installed whenever the range is used.
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 can generate some byproducts which are on the list. Exposure to these
substances can be minimized by:
1. Providing good ventilation when cooking with gas.
2. 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.
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 in broil or bake modes (after
Preheating – See “Automatic operation of the cooling
blower” on page 24). If the fan does not operate, do not use
the oven. Call an authorized service center for service.

Using the Cooktop
Sealed Star® Burners
Your new range has sealed Star® burners. There are no
burner parts under the cooktop to clean, disassemble or
adjust. The cooktop features four or six gas surface
burners; each rated at 18,000 BTU/HR (15,000 BTU/ HR
using Propane). The burners are mounted on top of
unique-shaped pedestals. This makes the burner
assemblies accessible for easy cleaning. On all models,
the two left burners have the exclusive ExtraLow® feature,
the remaining burners are standard. Each burner has its
own control knob.

Operation of the Burners
Operation of the ExtraLow Burners
•Press in on the knob and turn it counter-clockwise to
the setting on the knob.
•The igniter for the selected sealed burner clicks and
sparks.
•After burner ignition, the igniter stops clicking.
•Rotate the knob to any flame setting between HI and
SIM.
•The blue signal light, between the burner knobs, will
light when adjacent burners are lit. The light will remain
on until the adjacent burners are turned off.
BTU for Standard Burners
•HI is equivalent to 18,000 BTU / HR (15,000 BTU/HR
using Propane).
•SIM is equivalent to 2,100 BTU / HR.
BTU for ExtraLow® 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.
The controls for the two left burners, front and rear, have
flame settings even lower than the standard SIM settings.
Setting Indicator
ExtraLow
Range
®
•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® Burner Control Knob
The drawing 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.

Igniter
Figure 12: Igniter
Each 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 cap is positioned correctly on the base.
CAUTION:
Do not touch the burners when the igniters are
sparking.
If a burner fails to ignite, refer to the section “Before Calling

Automatic Re-Ignition
Flame Description
If any one or more burners blow out, the electronic igniter
automatically activates to re-light the flame. Do not touch
the 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 a normal condition.
•On cooktops using propane gas (LP), a slight “pop”
sound may be heard at the 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 burners can be lit by holding a match at
the ports and turning the control knob to the
position. Wait until the flame is burning all around the
burner cap before adjusting the flame to the desired
height.
•The ExtraLow burners cannot be used during a power
failure. Be sure to turn them off.
•If an ExtraLow burner is on when a power failure
occurs, it cannot be turned back on until the knob is
first turned off.
•The griddle cannot be used during a power failure.
•If you smell gas, refer to safety precautions listed
inside the front cover.
WARNING:
In the event of a power failure, all knobs are to
be turned to the OFF Position. Only the
standard 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.
•The burner flame color should be blue with no yellow
on the tips. It is not uncommon to see orange in the
flame color; this indicates the burning of airborne
impurities in the gas and will disappear with use.
Dark Blue
Secondary
Cone
Light Blue

Cone
Figure 16: Flame Color
•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.
2” (51 mm)
•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 17: 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
5-1/2" (140 mm) base size is generally the smallest
recommended.
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.
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.
•Food packaged in aluminum foil should not be placed
directly on the burner grate. Aluminum foil can melt
during cooking.
English 15
porcelain-coated cast iron wok support ring must be
purchased separately.
•Canners and Stock Pots — Select one with a base
diameter that extends no more than 2 inches (51mm)
beyond the grate.
Standard Size Water Bath Canner
21 to 22 quarts (19.95 to 20.9 liters), with an 11 to 12 inch
base (279 to 305 mm) and a 9 to 11 inch depth (229 to 279
mm).
Figure 20: Covered Pan
•A properly fitting lid will shorten cooking time and make
it possible to use lower heat settings.

305 mm).
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.

Using the Electric Griddle
Description
(Available on some models)
The built-in griddle is made of restaurant-quality aluminum
that is coated with a non-stick 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 electric griddle element is rated 120 volts AC,
1,600 watts.
CAUTION
The griddle element is hot after use. Allow
sufficient time for griddle components to cool
before cleaning.
Control Knob
•The griddle is electronically controlled with
temperatures marked on the knob from 150°F to 500°F.
•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, however
during installation, the installer is responsible for leveling
the product. 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.
Griddle Grease Tray
•Push the tray under the front edge of the griddle
overhang to catch grease or food residue.
•Clean the tray after every use. When removing the tray,
use care so that the contents do not spill.
English 19
•After cooling, pour the grease into a grease resistant
container for disposal.
Note:
Having a properly installed ventilation hood is not
considered a source of excessive airflow.

Bake
Tips for Bake
Preheating the Oven
Preheat the oven before cooking any foods, except large
pieces of meat or poultry. See your recipe for preheating
recommendation. Preheating time depends on the
temperature setting and the number of racks in the oven.
Getting the Best Results
•Minimize opening the door:
•Use a minute timer.
•Use the interior oven light.
English 20
•Choose the right size utensil; use the utensil
recommended in the recipe.
•Store the broiler pans 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 utensils.
•For brown crisp crusts, use dark non-stick/
anodized or dark, dull metal utensils or glass
bakeware. These may require lowering the bake
temperature 25°F.
Bakeware Type
Secondary Oven (48" Models)
•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.
Bake Rack Positions
•Rack level positions in the oven are numbered like an
elevator. Number one level is the lowest and number
five level is at the top.
5
4
3
2
1
Figure 25: Oven Rack Positions
•Baking on rack #3 will result in the best product. When
additional height is needed, rack #2 may be used. The
use of rack #2 with pies will result in a crisp bottom
crust without over baking the top.
•If two rack baking is desired in this small oven, use
racks #2 and #5. For best results, stagger baking pans
front to rear with the pan on rack #2 toward the rear
and the pan on rack #5 toward the front.
Bakeware Placement
•Allow at least 1" of space between the pans and the
oven walls so heat can circulate around each pan.
•Stagger bakeware so that one is not directly above
another. Allow 1-1/2” above and below each pan.
Convection
Cooking with Convection
There are many advantages to cooking with convection. In
the convection system, a fan in the back of the oven moves
heated air evenly around the oven. The moving air provides
even heat so foods can be placed on any rack level with
consistent results. Multiple racks of foods can be cooked or
large quantities of foods can be cooked at the same time.
Foods will cook thoroughly without having to rotate pans.
Large Main Oven
One Rack Baking
•The Bake mode is best for baking on one rack with
rack level #3 used for most baked items. If the item is
tall, such as an angel food cake, rack level #2 may be
used. Pies are best baked on rack level #2 to make
certain the bottom of the crust is done without over
browning the top. When large pieces of meat or poultry
are roasted, such as a prime rib of beef or a turkey,
rack level #2 is the preferred rack.
Two Rack Baking
•Rack levels #2 and #4 may be used when baking on
two levels. Foods such as cookies and biscuits work
well using these two racks. Casserole dishes may also
be baked using these two levels.
Three Rack Baking
•If three-rack baking is desired, the Convection Bake
mode should be used.
Low, shallow bakeware should be used with convection
cooking. This allows the heated air to circulate around the
food. Pans with high sides or pans that are covered are not
suitable for convection cooking because high sides or lids
prohibit the warm air from circulating around the food.
Your favorite pans and cookware can be used for
convection cooking provided they have low sides to allow
the heated air to circulate around the food. Any food
cooked uncovered will brown evenly and form a nice crust.
Foods in covered dishes (casseroles, pot roast) or delicate
custards do not benefit from convection cooking.
Convection Baking
Time can be saved by baking an entire batch of cookies at
the same time. The cookies will bake evenly and be done
all at once. The baking time may be shorter due to the
warm circulating air. For small items such as cookies,
check to see if they are done one to two minutes before the
recipe time. For larger baked items such as cakes, check
five to six minutes before the time indicated on the recipe.
Convection cooking of meat and poultry will result in foods
that are brown and crispy on the outside and moist and
English 21
juicy on the inside. Large meat or poultry items may cook
up to 30 minutes less than the suggested time so check
them so they will not be over baked. A meat thermometer
or an instant read thermometer will provide more accurate
results than the “minute per pound” method. The larger the
piece of meat or poultry, the more time you will save.
Converting Conventional Baking to
Convection Baking
Rack Positions
One Rack Baking
•When baking on one rack, best results are obtained in
the bake mode (see Bake).
•When roasting a turkey or a large piece of meat,
convection bake may be used. Rack #2 is the most
appropriate rack.
To convert most recipes for baked items (cookies, cakes,
pies, etc.); reduce the oven temperature by 25°F. For
meats and poultry, the temperature should not be reduced.
The same temperature recommended in recipes and
cooking charts for meats and poultry should be used.
Tips for Convection Bake
Preheating the Oven
Preheat the oven before cooking. See your recipe for
preheating recommendation. Preheating time depends on
the temperature setting and the number of racks in the
oven.
Temperature Setting
When using Convection Bake, reduce the temperature
recommended in the recipe by 25°F, although the
temperature does not need to be reduced when cooking
meats. When roasting meats, check internal temperature
prior to time recommended by recipe to prevent over
cooking.
High Altitude Baking
When baking at high altitudes, in either BAKE or
CONVECTION BAKE, recipes and baking times vary. For
accurate information, write the Extension Service,
Colorado State University, Fort Collins, Colorado 80521.
There may be a cost for the bulletins. Specify the type of
information you want (example: cakes, cookies, breads,
etc.).
Condensation
It is normal for a certain amount of moisture to evaporate
from the food during any cooking process. The amount
depends on the moisture content of the food. The moisture
will condense on any surface cooler than the inside of the
oven, such as the control panel.
Two Rack Baking
•Racks #2 and #4 are most appropriate when using the
convection bake mode. Cookie sheets should not be
staggered but the cookie sheet on rack #2 should be
placed directly under the one on rack #4. Stagger
round cake pans.
•This may be used for cakes, cookies, biscuits and
other foods for which two rack baking is desirable.
•When several casseroles, frozen pies or cakes are to
be baked, use racks #2 and #4.
•These two racks can also be used for a large oven
meal.
Three Rack Baking
•When several sheets of cookies are to be baked, bake
them on racks #1, #3 and #5. Place the baking sheets
directly above each other on the respective racks to
allow air to flow around the baking sheets.
Bakeware Type
•Aluminum bakeware gives the best browning results.
•Cookie sheets with only two sides give the best results.
Aluminum commercial half-sheets or professional
cooking utensils may be used.
Placement
•For better browning, utensils such as cookie sheets,
jelly roll pans and rectangular baking pans should be
placed crosswise on the rack with the shorter sides on
the right and the left. This allows the air to circulate
freely.
•When baking on more than one rack, stagger round
cake pans but cookie sheets should not be staggered.
CAUTION:
WHEN USING THE OVEN IN ANY MODE
Never use aluminum foil to cover the oven
racks or to line the oven. It can damage the
oven and cause a fire hazard if heat is trapped
under it. See page 4.

OVEN ONPREHEATING
English 23
•ACCESS PHASE (oven idle):
Once the two lights stop blinking (both remaining
on), the final three (3) minutes allows the Sabbath
user access to the oven without effecting a change
in the operation of the range. The oven burner
remains off during this phase.
Automatic operation of the cooling blower
The cooling blower does not activate in any of the BAKE
modes for temperature settings less than 425°F. For
temperature settings of 425°F or greater, the cooling
blower activates only after the oven reaches 425°F, while
heating up to the set temperature. When the oven is turned
off, the blower remains on until the oven temperature cools
to 375°F. Likewise for BROIL mode, the cooling blower
activates only after the oven reaches 425°F, while heating
up to broiling temperature.
Note:
This cooling process normally pushes heated air forward,
through the air space above the top of the oven door.
DO NOT continue to use the oven if the cooling blower fails
to activate while baking at temperature settings of 425°F or
greater, or while broiling. Call a qualified service agency to
repair the range.

Other Uses of Bake
Slow Cooking and Low Temperature Uses
of the Oven
In addition to providing perfect temperatures for baking and
roasting, the oven can be used at low temperatures to keep
hot, cooked foods at serving temperature, to dehydrate
food and to warm plates.
Hot cooked foods can be kept at serving temperatures. Set
the oven to bake and use the temperature suggested on
the chart.
For best results, preheat the oven to the desired
temperature.
Foods that need to be kept moist must be covered with a lid
or aluminum foil.

•Preheat the gas broiler about 3 minutes before adding
food.
•Defrost food before broiling.
•Keep door closed during broiling.
•Steaks should be more than 1" thick if rare meat is
desired.
•Turn foods over only once, after half the total cooking
time. It is not necessary to turn very thin foods (ham
slices, fillets of fish, etc.). Liver slices must be turned
over regardless of thickness.
•Use a minute timer. Set it for the minimum time to
check the food.
•Center foods directly under the infrared burner for best
browning.
Rack Positions
Before turning on the oven, place the rack in the desired
position. Center the broil pan directly under the infrared
burner.
Large Main Oven or Secondary Oven (48" Models)
•#4 — Use this rack position when broiling beef steaks,
ground meat patties, ham steak and lamb chops 1 inch
or less in thickness. Also, use when top browning
foods.
•#3 — Use this rack position when broiling meat 1-1/8
inches or more in thickness, fish, poultry, pork chops,
ham steaks 1 inch or more in thickness.
•#3 — Use this rack when broiling chicken quarters or
halves.
Utensils
•The porcelain enamel two-piece broil pan and grid is
included with the range. DO NOT cover the slotted grid
(top) with aluminum foil.
•Use metal or glass-ceramic bakeware when top
browning casseroles, main dishes, or bread.
•DO NOT use heat-proof glass or pottery. This type of
glassware cannot withstand the intense heat of the gas
broiler.
Broiling Using a Regular Meat
Thermometer
For rare steaks, cook the first side to 90°F. For medium or
well done steaks, cook the first side to 100°F. Turn and
cook the second side to desired internal temperature.
Note:
It is impossible to use the oven and the broiler
simultaneously. When one is on, the other one cannot be
turned on.
Setting Broil
Broil — Gas Oven
Only the infrared burner heats in the BROIL mode.
Note:
Successful broiling requires constant exposure to high,
intense heat.
To Set the Oven to Broil
1. Place oven rack in desired position.
2. Set Mode Selector Knob to BROIL.
3. Set Temperature Selector Knob to BROIL.
4. Wait until PREHEATING light turns off, after
approximately three (3) minutes.
5. Place food in oven at desired rack position.
6. The oven door must be closed when broiling in the
oven.
•Your Professional Range comes with a large two-
piece broil pan. The slotted grid allows drippings to
flow into the lower pan, away from the intense heat
of the broil burner, minimizing spattering and
smoking.
The OVEN ON light stays on during any BROIL mode, and
remains on until either of the oven control knobs is turned
to the OFF position.
Automatic operation of the cooling blower:
For BROIL mode, the cooling blower activates only after
the oven reaches 425°F, while heating up to the broiling
temperature. When the broiler is turned off, the blower
remains on until the oven temperature cools to 375°F.
DO NOT continue to use the broiler if the cooling blower
fails to activate while broiling. Call a qualified service
agency to repair the range.
For accurately determining the degree of doneness for a
thick steak or chop (at least 1-1/2 inches thick), use a
regular meat thermometer. Insert the point of the
thermometer into the side of the meat to the center of the
steak or chop.

Note:
The interior oven light is operated by a separate switch that
turns the light on and off, independent of any control
setting.
