SECTION FOUR: USING THE COOKTOP

AUTOMATIC RE-IGNITION

If any one or more burners or grill blow out, the electronic igniter automatically activates to re-light the flame. Do not touch the burners when the igniters are active.

IMPORTANT:

•For proper combustion do not use the cooktop without the burner grates in place.

•There is a slight sound

associated with gas combustion and ignition. This is a normal condition.

•On cooktops using propane gas (LP), a slight “pop” sound may be heard at the burner ports a few seconds after the burner has been turned off.

Warning

This product contains or, through ordinary use for its intended purpose, facilitates emission of chemicals or other substances known to the State of California to cause cancer and/or birth defects or other reproductive harm. To mini- mize exposure to these chemi- cals:

1.The burners should be adjusted by a certified installer or agency to ensure proper combustion.

2.Ensure proper ventilation with an open window or use a ventilation fan or hood when cooking with Gas.

3.Always operate the unit according to the instruc- tions in this manual.

POWER FAILURE

•In the event of a power failure, only the standard burners can be manually lit. It is necessary to light each one individually.

•If the cooktop is being used when the power failure occurs, turn all knobs to the OFF position.

•The standard burners can be lighted by holding a match at the ports and turning the control knob to the HI position. Wait until the flame is burning all around the burner cap before adjusting the flame to the desired height.

•Neither ExtraLow burner can be used during a power failure. Be sure to turn them off.

•If either ExtraLow burner is on when a power failure occurs, they cannot be turned back on until both knobs are first turned off.

•The griddle or grill cannot be used during a power failure.

•If you smell gas, refer to safety precautions listed inside the front cover.

WARNING

In the event of a power failure, all knobs are to be turned to the OFF Position. Only the standard burners can be lit manually.

FLAME HEIGHT

•The correct flame height depends on 1) size and material of pan being used; 2) food being cooked; and 3) amount of liquid in the pan.

•Never extend the flame beyond the base of the pan.

•Use a low or medium flame for pan materials that conduct the heat slowly, such as porcelain coated steel or glass-ceramic.

Cone

Flame Color

•The burner flame color should be blue with no yellow on the tips. It is not uncommon to see orange in the flame color; this indicates the burning of airborne impurities in the gas and will disappear with use.

•With propane (LP) gas, slight yellow tips on the primary cone are normal.

•The flame should burn completely around the burner cap. If it doesn’t, check that the cap is positioned correctly on the base and that the ports are not blocked.

•The flame should be stable with no excessive noise or fluttering.

One of the most notable features of the Thermador PRG series is the powerful Pro Grand dual-fuel cooking system. With a combination of gas burners and an electric convection oven, these ranges allow for precision cooking and even heat distribution. The PRG30 boasts a compact size with 30 inches of width, while the PRG36 expands the cooking surface with 36 inches, accommodating larger pots and pans.

The cooktop is designed with six burners, giving chefs the flexibility to cook multiple dishes simultaneously without sacrificing performance.

The ovens in the PRG30 and PRG36 are equally impressive, featuring a spacious capacity of 4.4 cubic feet. The Convection Bake function circulates air for optimal baking results, ensuring even browning and consistent cooking. The models also include a number of innovative cooking modes, such as the Bake, Broil, and Roast settings, enhancing the overall cooking experience.

Additionally, self-cleaning options simplify maintenance, allowing for effortless cleaning after extensive use. The design of the PRG series is complemented by a sleek stainless-steel exterior that not only adds elegance to the kitchen but is also durable and easy to maintain.

In terms of safety, both models feature a safety system that prevents accidental ignition and precise temperature control, ensuring a safe cooking environment. With a focus on high performance, cutting-edge technology, and meticulous design, the Thermador PRG30 and PRG36 gas ranges offer an unparalleled cooking experience for culinary enthusiasts looking to elevate their kitchen capabilities.
