THE GRILL
(Available on some models)
When cooking food on the grill
you will achieve the same flavor
as meat cooked on an outdoor
barbecue.
This flavor is actually created by
the fats and juices that are brought
to the surface of the food and
caramelized
by
the
intense
heat
from the stainless steel radiant.
Most types of foods, steaks,
chops, patties, poultry pieces,
etc., cook somewhat faster on the
gas grill with its constant regulated
heat than on an ordinary charcoal
grill.
Your new Thermador
Professional
®
grill is equipped with
an aluminized steel U-shaped tube
burner typical of those used in
restaurants. Automatic ignition is
used to eliminate the continuous
pilots found on restaurant grills.
The grill burner is rated at 18,000
BTU/HR.
AUTOMATIC
REIGNITION
The electronic igniter auto-
matically sparks the burner to
light. DO NOT TOUCH any burner
while the igniters are sparking.
A VENTILATING HOOD of adequate cubic-feet-per-minute capacity vented to the outside of the
house is recommended for installation ABOVE THE RANGE AND GRILL. For most kitchens with a wall
mounted hood, a certified hood
is recommended. The hood must be installed according to installation
instructions furnished with the hood and local building code requirements.
CONTROL KNOB
The burner control has an infinite
number of heat settings, and there
are no fixed positions on the
control knob between HI and LO.
To turn the burner on, press the
control knob and rotate it
counterclockwise to the LITE
position. Adjust the knob to the
desired heat setting.
Control Knob
NOTE: When used with pro-
pane gas, a slight pop or
flash may occur at the burner
ports a few seconds after
the burner has been turned
off. This usually occurs after
the burner has been on
awhile. This is normal.
BURNER EFFICIENCY AND
FLAME CHARACTERISTICS
The burner flame should be blue
in color and stable with no yellow
tips, excessive noise or lifting. It
should burn completely along
both sides of the burner tube.
An improper gas-air mixture may
cause either a yellow tipped flame
or burner flutter. Have the flame
adjusted by a technician. Foreign
particles in the gas line may cause
an orange flame during initial use.
This will disappear with use.
If the flame is uneven, flutters,
makes excessive noise or lifts,
check to see if the BURNER ports
are clogged. If the ports are
clogged, use a wire, a
straightened paper clip or needle
to clear the ports. If the condition
persists, contact a service agency
for adjustment.
