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 2 is the most frequently used position. Place rack(s) in the proper position before turning on the oven. For all models insert and remove racks as follows:

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.

Remove or reposition the racks as follows:

a.Pull the rack forward,

b.Lift the front of the rack up so the safety stops clear the rack slides.

c.Pull the rack forward to remove.

Caution

Aluminum foil should never be used to cover the oven racks or to line the oven. It may cause damage to the oven if it touches the infrared broiler or when heat is trapped be- neath it.

Before baking or broiling for the first time, the oven and broiler should be turned on separately to burn off the manufacturing oils. Turn the oven on to 450˚F. 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.

Please read Page 34 in Section 6: Care and Maintenance before cleaning the oven racks.

A standout feature across the PRG models is the powerful Star® Burner technology. Each burner is designed specifically to maximize heat distribution, achieving temperatures from a gentle simmer to a roaring boil. The patented star-shaped design allows for more surface area, yielding quicker cooking times and ensuring even heat.

This innovation allows for remarkable temperature control on select burners, making it easier to prepare delicate sauces or keep foods warm without burning. 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 convection oven technology ensures even baking results while significantly reducing cooking times. This is especially beneficial for those who frequently roast or bake.

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. The PRG304, PRG364GL, PRG486GD, PRG486GL, PRG366, and PRG484GG feature stainless steel finishes that are not only elegant but also easy to maintain. 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.
