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 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, 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.
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.
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.
When children become old enough to operate the
appliance, it is the legal responsibility of the parents or
legal guardians to ensure that they are instructed in safe
practices by qualified persons.
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.

Have an appropriate fire extinguisher available, nearby,
highly visible and easily accessible near the appliance. 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.
.
WARNING:
NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages
in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack
with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing
so blocks air flow through the oven and may
cause carbon monoxide poisoning.
Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat,
causing a fire hazard.
