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 seared
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. Refer to ventilation
requirements in the Installation Instructions for additional information.
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.
