PRG Professional Ranges Care and Use

Section One: General Safety Instructions

Safety Practices to Avoid Personal Injury

PRECAUTIONS

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 and can increase the accident po- tential. When using kitchen appli- ances, basic safety precautions must be followed, including the fol- lowing:

Read this Care and Use Manual

carefully before using your new range to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.

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

Have the installer show you

where the gas supply shut-off valve is located so that you know how and where to turn off the gas to the range.

If you smell gas, your installer has not done a proper job of checking for leaks. If the connections are not perfectly tight, you can have a small leak and therefore a faint gas smell. Finding a gas leak is not a “do-it- yourself” procedure. Some leaks can only be found with the burner control in the ON position and this must be done by a qualified service technician. See Inside Front Cover regarding gas leaks.

In the event a burner goes out and gas escapes, open a window or a door. Do not attempt to use

the cooktop 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 spe- cifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified techni- cian.

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 appli- ance.

CAUTION: Do not store items of interest to children

above the range or at the back of it. If children should climb onto the appliance to reach these items, they could be seriously injured.

Never use any part of the cooktop 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 cooktop burners; they could catch on fire.

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 per- sonal 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 burners, or burner grates.

For personal safety, wear proper apparel. Loose fitting gar- ments or hanging sleeves should never be worn while using this appli- ance. 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 cooktop. Use of a foil liner could result in a shock or fire hazard, or the obstruction of the flow of com- bustion 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 cooktop.

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK

OF TIPPING OF THE

APPLIANCE, IT MUST

BE SECURED BY A

PROPERLY IN-

STALLED ANTI-TIP DE- VICE. VERIFY THAT THE ANTI-TIP DEVICE IS ENGAGED PER INSTALLATION INSTRUC- TIONS. (NOTE: ANTI-TIP DEVICE IS REQUIRED ON ALL 30” AND 36” RANGES.)

Chefs can appreciate the versatility offered, as these ranges cater to a variety of cooking techniques.

In addition to impressive burners, many models in the PRG series come equipped with dual-fuel capabilities. This means that users can benefit from the precision of gas burners combined with the consistent heat of electric ovens.

The PRG series also emphasizes user convenience and ease of use. With features like a spacious oven cavity, bright halogen lights, and intuitive control knobs, these ranges make cooking effortless. Some models boast additional functions like a self-cleaning mode, which saves homeowners from the hassle of manual cleaning and keeps the kitchen looking pristine.

Durability and style are important characteristics as well.

They are designed to resist scratches and wear, ensuring that they look great in any kitchen environment.

Safety features are prioritized too, with integrated systems that prevent gas leaks and overheating. This peace of mind allows chefs to focus on creating culinary masterpieces without worry.

Ultimately, the Thermador PRG series is ideal for those who seek both high performance and a luxury kitchen experience.
