SAFETY PRACTICES TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY

Your new Thermador PROFESSIONAL® Cooktop has been designed to be a safe, reliable appliance when properly used and cared for. If not properly used, it could be dangerous. Read all instructions in this Care and Use Manual carefully before using this cooktop.

!WARNING: These pre- cautions will reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, and injury to persons. Use ex- treme care when using this restaurant caliber cooktop as this appliance provides in- tense heat and can increase the accident potential.

When using kitchen appli- ances, these basic safety pre- cautions must be followed:

Insure proper installation and servicing. Follow the instal- lation instructions provided with this product. Have the cooktop in- stalled and 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 cooktop.

If you smell gas, your installer has not done a proper job of checking for leaks. If the connec- tions are not perfectly tight, you can have a small leak and there- fore a faint gas smell. Finding a gas leak is not a “do-it-yourself” pro- cedure. Some leaks can only be found with the burner control in the ON position and this must be

done by a qualified service techni- cian. See inside the front cover re- garding gas leaks.

In the event a burner goes out and gas escapes, open a window or a door. Do not attempt to use the cooktop until the gas has had time to dissipate. Wait at least 5 minutes before using the Cooktop.

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 techni- cian.

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.

!CAUTION: Do not store items of interest to children above the cooktop or at the back of it. If children should climb onto the appliance to reach these items, they could be seriously in- jured.

Never use any part of the cooktop for storage. Flam- mable materials can catch fire and plastic items may melt or ignite.

If the cooktop is near a window, be certain the curtains do not blow over or near the cook- top burners; they could catch on fire.

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, pot hold- ers, or other flammable ma- terials come in contact with or too close to any element, burner or burner grate until it has cooled. Fabric may ignite and result in personal injury.

Use only dry pot holders. Moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may cause burns from steam.Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of pot hold- ers. Do not let pot holders touch hot elements, hot burners, or burner grates.

For personal safety, wear proper apparel. Loose fitting gar- ments or hanging sleeves should never be worn while using this ap- pliance. Some synthetic fabrics are highly flammable and should not be worn while cooking.

Do not use aluminum foil as a shield against food spills or drip- pings around the burners or con- trol panel area.This could obstruct the flow of combustion and venti- lation air.This can damage the fin- ish of the cooktop.

!Warning: The appliance is for cooking. Based on safety con- siderations, never use the cooktop to warm or heat a room. Such use can damage the cooktop.

When using the cooktop: DO

NOT TOUCH THE BURNER GRATES OR THE IMMEDI- ATE SURROUNDING AR- EAS adjacent to the burners may become hot enough to cause burns.
