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 pre-
cautions 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 electric circuit
breaker and the gas supply shut
off valve are located so you know
how and where to turn off the gas
and electricity to the range.
In the event a burner goes out and
gas escapes, open a window or a
door. Do not attempt to use the
range 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. If children are allowed
to use the appliance, they must be
closely supervised.
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.
CAUTION: 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.
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.
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 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 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.
TO REDUCE THE RISK
OF TIPPING OF THE
APPLIANCE, IT MUST
BE SECURED BY A
P R O P E R L Y
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)
