Bosch Appliances PGR30, PGR36, PGR48 CAUTION

SECTION TWO: BEFORE YOU BEGIN

1. Check that you have the items listed on Page 6.

2. Record the Model and Serial number on Page

42. See "Data Rating Plate." These may be used

for any future contacts with your servicer or the

factory. Enter this information on the Product

Registration Card included with this product then

mail it to the indicated address.

3. Optional Accessories. Grill Cover, Chopping

Board, Griddle Cover and other accessories are

available from your Thermador Dealer. Contact the

Thermador Parts Department toll-free at 800/735-

4327 for more information.

4. Position the racks correctly in the oven.

The correct rack position depends on the recipe and the

cooking mode. The rack positions are numbered

from the bottom of the oven, like an elevator.

Rack position 3 is the most frequently used position.

Place rack(s) in the proper position before turning on the

oven.

Insert the racks as follows:

a. Hold the rack with the back rail in the up position

towards the rear of the oven. Slip it into the oven

so the rack slides are between the rack and the

rack guides.

b. Tip the front of the rack up slightly as it slides into

the oven so that the safety stops clear the rack

slides. The safety stops on the back of the rack

will keep it from sliding out of the oven when it

is pulled forward.

Remove all packaging materials

and temporary labels from oven

and cooktop.

CAUTION

Before Using Your Range for the First Time

BEFORE BAKING OR BROILING, the oven and broiler

should be turned on to burn off the manufacturing oils.

Turn the oven on to 450°F (230°C) for 20 to 30 minutes;

then turn the broiler to "Broil" for same length of time.

You may wish to turn on the ventilator above your range

during this time.

Please read Page 40 in Section 6: Care and Maintenance

before cleaning the oven racks.

Aluminum foil should never be used to cover

the oven racks or to line the oven. It may

cause damage to the oven. Do not remove

the infrared burner in the gas oven.
