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 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:
• Do not try to light any appli-
ance.
• Do not touch any electrical
switch.
• Do not use any phone in your
building.
• Immediately call your gas sup-
plier from a neighbor’s phone.
Follow the gas supplier’s in-
struction.
• If you cannot reach your gas
supplier, call the fire depart-
ment.
• Installation and service must
be performed by a qualified in-
staller, service agency or the
gas supplier.
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.
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.
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 infrared burner, top 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 infrared
burners, 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 PROPERLY
INSTALLED ANTI-TIP
DEVICE. VERIFY THAT THE
ANTI-TIP DEVICE IS EN-
GAGED PER INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS. (NOTE:
ANTI-TIP DEVICE IS
REQUIRED ON ALL 30" AND
36" RANGES)
