SAFETY PRACTICES TO AVOID
PERSONAL INJURY
PRECAUTIONS
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 and can increase the accident
potential. 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 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.
If you smell gas, your installer has
not done a proper job of checking
for leaks. If the connections are
not perfectly tight, you can have a
small leak and therefore a faint
gas smell. Finding a gas leak is
not a “do-it-yourself” procedure.
Some leaks can only be found
with the burner control in the ON
position and this must be done by
a qualified service technician. See
Inside Front Cover regarding gas
leaks.
In the event a burner goes out
and gas escapes, open a window
or a door. Do not attempt to use
the cooktop until the gas has had
time to dissipate. Wait at least 5
minutes before using 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.
CAUTION: Do not store items
of interest to children above the
range or at the back of it. If
children should climb onto the
appliance to reach these items,
they could be seriously injured.
Never use any part of the cooktop
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 cooktop burners;
they could catch on fire.
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
element, 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
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 cooktop.
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 cooktop.
TO REDUCE THE RISK
OF TIPPING OF THE
APPLIANCE, IT MUST
BE SECURED BY A
PROPERLY
INSTALLED ANTI-TIP
DEVICE. VERIFY THAT THE
ANTI-TIP DEVICE IS EN-
GAGED PER INSTALLATION
IN–STRUCTIONS. (NOTE:
ANTI-TIP DEVICE IS
REQUIRED ON ALL 30" AND
36" RANGES)
