When properly cared for, your new appliance has been designed to
be safe and reliable. Read all instructions carefully before use. These
precautions will reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, re, and injury
to persons. When using kitchen appliances, basic safety precautions
must be followed, including those in the following pages.
Proper Installation and Maintenance
Have the installer show you the location of the circuit breaker or fuse.
Mark it for easy reference.
This appliance must be properly installed and grounded by a qualied
technician. Connect only to properly grounded outlet. Refer to
Installation Instructions for details.
This appliance is intended for normal family household use only. It
is not approved for outdoor use. See the Warranty. If you have any
questions, contact the manufacturer.
Do not store or use corrosive chemicals, vapors, ammables or non
food products in or near this appliance. It is specically designed for
use when heating or cooking food. The use of corrosive chemicals in

service center.
WARNING
When the hood is operated in exhaust-air mode simultaneously with
a different burner which also makes use of the same chimney (such as
gas, oil or coal-red heaters, continuous-ow heaters, hot-water boilers)
care must be taken to ensure that there is an adequate supply of fresh
air which will be needed by the burner for combustion.
This can be achieved if combustion air can ow through non-lockable
openings, e.g. in doors, windows and via the air-intake/exhaust-air wall
box or by other technical measures, such as reciprocal interlocking, etc.
WARNING
Avoid carbon monoxide poisoning – Provide adequate air intake so
combustion gases are not drawn back into the room.
An air-intake/exhaust-air wall box by itself is no guarantee that the
limiting value will not be exceeded.
Note: When assessing the overall requirement, the combined
ventilation system for the entire household must be taken into
consideration. This rule does not apply to the use of cooking
appliances, such as cooktops and ovens.

Hood Intake Housing
The hood intake housing, when raised, captures and channels the
cooking odors, steam and grease from the cooktop through two lters
located within the intake housing.
Filters
The air is cleaned by the lters and conveyed to the building exterior by
a series of ducts.
The lters are located at the bottom of the intake housing, behind the
removable front panel. They condense and trap the grease in the air.
Filters include protective lm that must be removed before use.
Page 8
OPERATING THE APPLIANCE
Always turn the downdraft blower on before you begin cooking to
establish an air ow in the kitchen. Let the blower run for a few minutes
to clean the air after you turn the cooktop off. This will keep the whole
kitchen cleaner and brighter.
It is recommended to use the rear burners when cooking with tall pots
or when the cooking method will generate high amounts of smoke or
steam. The combination of using the rear burners and operating the unit
at high speed will increase the likelihood that all the smoke and steam
will be removed by the downdraft.

STATEMENT OF LIMITED PRODUCT WARRANTY
What this Warranty Covers & Who it
Applies to
The limited warranty provided by BSH Home Appliances Corporation
(“BSH“) in this Statement of Limited Product Warranty applies only to
the THERMADOR® appliance (“Product“) sold to you, the rst using
purchaser, provided that the Product was purchased:
For your normal, household (non-commercial) use, and has in fact at all
times only been used for normal household purposes.
New at retail (not a display, “as is”, or previously returned model), and
not for resale, or commercial use.
Within the United States or Canada, and has at all times remained within
the country of original purchase.
The warranties stated herein apply only to the rst purchaser of the
Product and are not transferable.
BSH reserves the right to request proof of purchase at the time any
warranty claim is submitted to conrm that the Product falls within the
scope of this limited product warranty.
Please make sure to return your registration card; while not necessary to
effectuate warranty coverage, it is the best way for BSH to notify you in
the unlikely event of a safety notice or product recall.
How Long the Warranty Lasts
BSH warrants that the Product is free from defects in materials and
workmanship for a period of seven hundred and thirty (730) days from
the date of purchase.
The foregoing timeline begins to run upon the date of purchase, and
shall not be stalled, tolled, extended, or suspended, for any reason
whatsoever.
This Product is also warranted to be free from cosmetic defects in
material and workmanship (such as scratches of stainless steel, paint/
porcelain blemishes, chip, dents, or other damage to the nish) of the
Product, for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of purchase or
closing date for new construction. This cosmetic warranty excludes slight
color variations due to inherent differences in painted and porcelain
parts, as well as differences caused by kitchen lighting, product location,
or other similar factors. This cosmetic warranty specically excludes any
display, oor, “As Is”, or “B” stock appliances.
Repair/Replace as Your Exclusive Remedy
During this warranty period, BSH or one of its authorized service
providers will repair your Product without charge to you (subject to
certain limitations stated herein) if your Product proves to have been
manufactured with a defect in materials or workmanship. If reasonable
attempts to repair the Product have been made without success, then
BSH will replace your Product (upgraded models may be available to
you, in BSH’s sole discretion, for an additional charge). All removed parts
and components shall become the property of BSH at its sole option.
All replaced and/or repaired parts shall assume the identity of the
original part for purposes of this warranty and this warranty shall not be
extended with respect to such parts. BSH’s sole liability and responsibility
hereunder is to repair manufacturer-defective Product only, using a BSHauthorized service provider during normal business hours. For safety and
property damage concerns, BSH highly recommends that you do not
attempt to repair the Product yourself, or use an un-authorized servicer;
BSH will have no responsibility or liability for repairs or work performed
by a non-authorized servicer. If you choose to have someone other than
an authorized service provider work on your Product, THIS WARRANTY
WILL AUTOMATICALLY BECOME NULL AND VOID. Authorized service
providers are those persons or companies that have been specially
trained on BSH products, and who possess, in BSH’s opinion, a superior
reputation for customer service and technical ability (note that they
are independent entities and are not agents, partners, afliates or
representatives of BSH). Notwithstanding the foregoing, BSH will not
incur any liability, or have responsibility, for the Product if it is located in
a remote area (more than 100 miles from an authorized service provider)
or is reasonably inaccessible, hazardous, threatening, or treacherous
locale, surroundings, or environment; in any such event, if you request,
BSH would still pay for labor and parts and ship the parts to the nearest
authorized service provider, but you would still be fully liable and
responsible for any travel time or other special charges by the service
company, assuming they agree to make the service call.
