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
and can increase the accident
potential. When using kitchen
appliances, basic safety precautions
must be followed, including the
following:
Read this Care and Use Manual
carefully before using your new
range to reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock, or injury to persons.
Insure proper installation and
servicing. Follow the installation
instructions provided with this
product. Have the range installed and
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 the range
or at the back of it. 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
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 APPLI–
ANCE, 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
ENGAGED PER INSTAL-
LATION INSTRUCTIONS.
(NOTE: ANTI-TIP DEVICE
IS REQUIRED ON ALL 30"
AND 36" RANGES)
