Thermador PGR304 - Manual (Page 9)

SECTION TWO: BEFORE YOU BEGIN
1. Check that you have the items listed on Page 6.
2. Record the Model and Serial number on Page
42. See "Data Rating Plate." These may be used
for any future contacts with your servicer or the
factory. Enter this information on the Product
Registration Card included with this product then
mail it to the indicated address.
3. Optional Accessories. Grill Cover, Chopping
Board, Griddle Cover and other accessories are
available from your Thermador Dealer. Contact the
Thermador Parts Department toll-free at 800/735-
4327 for more information.
4. Position the racks correctly in the oven.
The correct rack position depends on the recipe and the
cooking mode. The rack positions are numbered
from the bottom of the oven, like an elevator.
Rack position 3 is the most frequently used position.
Place rack(s) in the proper position before turning on the
oven.
Insert the racks as follows:
a.
Hold the rack with the back rail in the up position
towards the rear of the oven. Slip it into the oven
so the rack slides are between the rack and the
rack guides.
b. Tip the front of the rack up slightly as it slides into
the oven so that the safety stops clear the rack
slides. The safety stops on the back of the rack
will keep it from sliding out of the oven when it
is pulled forward.
Remove all packaging materials
and temporary labels from oven
and cooktop.
