Safety Practices to Avoid Personal Injury
When properly cared for, your new THERMADOR
TM
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 Manual 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. Have the installer show you the
location of the circuit breaker. Mark it for easy reference.
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
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.
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.
Have an appropriate fire extinguisher available 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.
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.
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 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.
