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 39. 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 posi- tion 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 infrared burner in the gas 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.

PRG36, PRG30 specifications

The Thermador PRG30 and PRG36 represent the pinnacle of luxury cooking with their high-performance gas range features and advanced technology. Designed for serious home chefs, these models exemplify efficiency, style, and culinary excellence.

One of the most notable features of the Thermador PRG series is the powerful Pro Grand dual-fuel cooking system. With a combination of gas burners and an electric convection oven, these ranges allow for precision cooking and even heat distribution. The PRG30 boasts a compact size with 30 inches of width, while the PRG36 expands the cooking surface with 36 inches, accommodating larger pots and pans.

Both models come equipped with high BTU burners, reaching up to 18,000 BTUs on the powerful Star Sapphire burners.

Furthermore, the PRG series includes an innovative simmer setting that enables precise low-heat cooking, perfect for delicate sauces or melting chocolate.

Thermador has integrated their patented Star Burner design in both models. This unique feature provides a larger flame spread compared to traditional round burners. Consequently, it allows for better heat distribution, significantly enhancing cooktop efficiency. The cooktop is designed with six burners, giving chefs the flexibility to cook multiple dishes simultaneously without sacrificing performance.

The ovens in the PRG30 and PRG36 are equally impressive, featuring a spacious capacity of 4.4 cubic feet. The Convection Bake function circulates air for optimal baking results, ensuring even browning and consistent cooking. The models also include a number of innovative cooking modes, such as the Bake, Broil, and Roast settings, enhancing the overall cooking experience.

Additionally, self-cleaning options simplify maintenance, allowing for effortless cleaning after extensive use. The design of the PRG series is complemented by a sleek stainless-steel exterior that not only adds elegance to the kitchen but is also durable and easy to maintain.

In terms of safety, both models feature a safety system that prevents accidental ignition and precise temperature control, ensuring a safe cooking environment.
