Section Two: BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Before Using Your Range for the First Time

Remove all packaging materials and temporary labels from oven and cooktop.

1.Check that you have the items listed on Page 5.

2.Record the Model and Serial number on Page 40. See "Data Rating Plate." These may be used for any future contacts with Customer Service. Enter this information on the Product Registration Card included with this product then mail it to the indicated address.

3.Optional Accessories. Grill Cover, Grill Plate, Chopping Board, Griddle Cover, Wok Support Ring and other accessories are available from your Thermador Dealer.

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.

5.Ensure that the burner caps are correctly seated on the burner bases of the range's cooktop. Turn on each burner to check for proper flame color. See Page 12 for details.

CAUTION

Aluminum foil should never be used to cover the oven racks or to line the oven. Do not remove the broiler element in the electric oven.

BEFORE BAKING OR BROILING, the oven and broiler should be turned on to burn off the manufac- turing 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.
