Thermador PRD36, PRD48 manual Important Safety Instructions

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Remove the optional cutting board or griddle cover accessory, which is stored on top of the griddle plate, before operating the griddle or any adjacent burners.

GREASE IS FLAMMABLE. Let hot grease cool before attempting to handle it. Avoid letting grease deposits collect. Clean after each use.

For proper lighting and performance of the burners, keep the igniter ports clean. It is necessary to clean the ports when there is a boil over or when the burner does not light even though the electronic igniters activate. See cleaning instructions “Brass Star® Burner Base and Cast Iron Cap” on page 36.

WARNING:

After a spill or boil over, turn off the burner and using caution due to possible hot surfaces, clean around the burner and burner ports. After cleaning, check for proper operation.

WARNING:

To avoid possible burn or fire hazard, a backguard designed specifically for this range must be installed whenever the range is used.

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

Be sure all cooktop controls are turned off and the cooktop is cool before using any type of aerosol cleaner on or around the cooktop. The chemical that produces the spraying action could, in the presence of heat, ignite or cause metal parts to corrode.

When using the oven do not touch the broiler element, the interior surfaces of the oven or the exterior area immediately surrounding the door. Interior oven surfaces become hot enough to cause burns. The heat deflector, which deflects heat away from the cooktop and the trim on the top and sides of the oven door, will also be hot when the oven is in use.

Place oven racks in desired position while oven is cool. If a rack must be moved while the oven is hot, do not let the potholders contact the broiler element.

Use care when opening the oven door; let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing foods.

Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the broiler pan, oven racks, temperature probe and any other utensils, and excess spillage.

Do not clean, rub, damage, move or remove the door gasket. It is essential for a good seal during baking. If the gasket becomes worn or excessively soiled with food particles, replace gasket to assure a tight seal.

Protect the self-cleaning feature. Clean only those parts indicated in this booklet. Do not use commercial oven cleaners or oven liner protective coatings of any kind in or around the self-cleaning oven(s).

DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion or ventilation air.

For safety reasons and to avoid damage to the range, never sit, stand, or lean on the oven door.

Service should only be done by authorized technicians. Technicians must disconnect the power supply before servicing this unit.

Listen to be sure the cooling blower runs whenever the oven controls are set to BROIL or BAKE modes, after oven heats to 300°F/ 149°C — see “Automatic operation of the cooling blower:” on page 30. If the fan does not operate, do not use the oven. Call an authorized service center for service.

To avoid a fire hazard, grease accumulation must be prevented by frequently cleaning the ventilation hood and filters.

In case of fire or when intentionally “flaming” liquor or other spirits on the range's cooktop, follow manufacturer’s instructions. Use caution when cooking foods with high alcohol content (e.g. rum, brandy, bourbon) in the oven. Alcohol evaporates at high temperatures. There is a risk of burning as the alcohol vapors may catch fire in the oven. Use only small quantities of alcohol in foods, and open the oven door carefully.
