Thermador PC30 Save These Instructions, Do not use flammable clean- ers when cleaning the grill

Section 1: GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION

•Never leave the cooktop un- attended when using high flame settings. Boil-overs cause smok- ing and greasy spills that may ig- nite. More importantly, if the burner flames are smothered, un- burned gas will escape into the room. See inside the front cover regarding gas leaks.

•Only certain types of glass, heatproof glass-ceramic, ce- ramic, earthenware or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop use. This type of utensil may break with sudden tempera- ture changes. Use only on low or medium heat settings according to the utensil manufacturer’s di- rections.

•Do not heat unopened food containers; a buildup of pressure may cause the container to burst.

•During cooking, set the burner control so that the flame heats only the bottom of the pan and does not extend beyond the bottom of the pan.

•Use caution to insure that drafts like those from forced air vents or fans do not blow flammable ma- terial toward the flames or push the flames so that they extend be- yond the edges of the pot.

•Always use utensils that have flat bottoms, large enough to cover the burner. The use of un- dersized utensils can expose a portion of the flame and may re- sult in ignition of clothing.

•To minimize the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials and unintentional spills, position handles of utensils inward so they do not extend over adjacent

work areas, cooking areas or the edge of the cooktop.

•Hold the handle of the pan to prevent movement of the utensil when stirring or turning food.

•Do not use the grill for cook- ing excessively fatty meats or products which promote flare- ups.

•The optional cutting board ac- cessory must be removed be- fore operating the griddle.

•GREASE IS FLAMMABLE. Let hot grease cool before attempt- ing to handle it. Avoid letting grease deposits collect. Clean af- ter each use.

•For proper lighting and perfor- mance of the burners, keep the ports clean. It is necessary to clean these when there is a boil over or when the burner does not light even though the electronic igniters activate. See Page 22 for cleaning Star Burner ports.

WARNING

After a spill or boil over, turn off the burner and clean around the burner and burner ports. After cleaning, check for proper operation.

•Clean the cooktop with cau- tion. Avoid steam burns; do not use a wet sponge or cloth to clean the cooktop while it is hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface. Follow directions provided by the cleaner manufacturer.

•Do not use flammable clean- ers when cleaning the grill.

•Be sure all cooktop and grill controls are turned off and the cooktop and grill are cool be- fore using any type of aerosol cleaner on or around the cooktop. The chemicals that produce the spraying action can, in the pres- ence of heat, ignite or cause metal parts to corrode.

•Service should only be done by authorized technicians. Techni- cians must disconnect the power supply before servicing this unit.

•CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire, keep the exhaust hood free of grease. Clean the ven- tilator hood and filters above the cooktop frequently so grease from cooking vapors does not accumu- late on them.

•In case of fire or when inten- tionally “flaming” liquor or other spirits on the cooktop, follow hood manufacturer’s in- structions.

•Install a smoke detector in or near the kitchen.

•California Proposition 65 Warning: The burning of gas cooking fuel generates some by- products which are on the list of substances which are known by the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm. Cali- fornia law requires businesses to warn customers of potential ex- posure to such substances. To minimize exposure to these sub- stances, always operate this unit according to the instructions con- tained in this booklet and provide good ventilation to the room when cooking with gas.
