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 Pro-
fessional
®
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.
USING THE GRILL
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 rating of not less than 940 CFM 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.
