Section One: GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Safety Practices to Avoid

Personal Injury

When properly cared for, your new Thermador Professional® Range has been designed to be a safe, reliable appliance. However, use extreme care when using this restaurant caliber range as this type of appliance provides intense heat. When using kitchen appliances, basic safety pre- cautions must be followed, including the following:

Read this Care and Use Manual carefully before using your new range to reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons.

Insure proper installation and servicing. Follow the installation instructions provided with this product. Have the range installed and electrically grounded by a qualified technician.

Have the installer show you where the electric circuit breaker and the gas supply shut off valve are located so you know how and where to turn off the gas and electricity to the range.

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

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 technician.

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. If children are allowed to use the appliance, they must be closely supervised.

When children become old enough to operate the appliance, it is the legal responsibility of the parents

or legal guardians to ensure that they are instructed in safe practices by qualified persons.

CAUTION: Do not store items of interest to children above or at the back of the range. If children should climb onto the appliance to reach these items, they could be seriously injured.

Never use any part of the range or oven for storage. Flammable materials can catch fire and plastic items may melt or ignite.

Do not hang articles from any part of the appliance or place anything against the oven. Some fabrics are quite flammable and may catch on fire.

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

Have an appropriate fire extinguisher available, nearby, highly visible and easily accessible near the appliance. 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, potholders, or other flammable materials 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 potholders: moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may cause burns from steam. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of potholders. Do not let potholders touch hot elements, hot burners, or burner grates.

For personal safety, wear proper apparel. Loose fitting garments or hanging sleeves should never be worn while using this appliance. Some synthetic

fabrics are highly flammable and should not be worn while cooking.

Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of the oven or range. Use of a foil liner could result in a shock or fire hazard, or the obstruction of the flow of combustion and ventilation air. Foil is an excellent heat insulator and heat will be trapped beneath it. This will upset the cooking performance and can damage the finish of the oven or the range.

WARNING

NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating of the oven.
