When properly used and cared
for your new Thermador Cook-
top has been designed to be a safe,
reliable appliance. When using
kitchen appliances, basic safety
precautions must be followed, in- cluding the following:
Read this Care and Use Manual
carefully before using you new
cooktop to reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock, or injury to per-
sons.
Begin by insuring proper in-
stallation | and servicing. | Fol- | ||||
low | the | installation |
| instruc- | ||
tions | provided | with | this prod- | |||
uct. | Have | the | cooktop |
| installed | |
and | grounded | by | a | qualified | ||
technician. |
| Have the | installer | |||
show you where the gas shut-
offvalve is located so that you
know how and where to turn
off the gas to the cooktop.
If you | smell gas, | your | installer |
| ||||
has |
| not done | a | proper | job | of | ||
checking |
| for | leaks. | Connec- |
| |||
tions | can | loosen | in transit. | If | ||||
the |
| connections |
| are | not per- | |||
fectly |
| tight, | you | can | have | a | ||
small | leak | and | therefore | a faint | ||||
gas | smell. | Finding | a gas leak | is | ||||
not |
| a | proce- |
| ||||
dure. | Some | leaks | can | only be | ||||
found |
| with | the | burner | control |
| ||
in | the | ON | position. |
