IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
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 precautions must be followed, including the
following:
Read this Use and Care Guide carefully before using your
new range, to reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or
injury to persons.
Ensure 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 STAR
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.
Child Safety
When children become old enough to use the appliance, it
is the responsibility of the parents or legal guardians to
ensure that they are instructed in safe operation of the
appliance by qualified persons.
WARNING
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.
DO NOT allow anyone to climb, stand, lean, sit, or hang on
any part of an appliance, especially a door, or the warming
drawer. This can damage the appliance, and the unit may
tip over, potentially causing severe injury.
DO NOT allow children to use this appliance unless closely
supervised by an adult.
Important Safety Instructions
Children and pets should not be left alone or unattended in
the area where the appliance is in use. They should never
be allowed to play in its vicinity, whether or not the
appliance is in use.
NEVER use any part of the range or ovens 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 ovens. 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 STAR burners; they could
catch on fire.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A GREASE FIRE:
•
Never leave surface units unattended at high
settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or
medium settings.
•
Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or
when flambéing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries
Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).
•
Clean hood filters frequently. Grease should not be
allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
•
Use proper pan size. Always use cookware
appropriate for the size of the cooktop burner.
ALWAYS have a working smoke detector near the kitchen.
In the event that personal clothing or hair catches fire, drop
and roll immediately to extinguish flames.
Smother flames from food fires, other than grease fires,
with baking soda. Never use water on cooking fires.
Whenever possible, do not operate the ventilation system
during a cooktop fire. However, DO NOT reach through fire
to turn it off.
NEVER let clothing, potholders, or other flammable
materials come in contact with or too close to any element,
top burner or burner grate until it has cooled. Fabric may
ignite and result in personal injury.
Have an appropriate fire extinguisher available, nearby,
highly visible and easily accessible near the cooking
appliance.
