USING THE GRILL

AVENTILATING HOOD of adequate cubic-feet-per-minute capacity vented to the outside of the house is recommended for installation ABOVE THE RANGE AND GRILL. For most kitchens with a wall mounted hood, a certified hood rating of not less than 940 CFM is recommended. The hood must be installed according to installation instructions furnished with the hood and local building code requirements.

GRILL

When cooking food on the grill you will achieve the same flavor as meat cooked on an outdoor barbecue.

This flavor is actually created by the fats and juices that are brought to the surface of the food and caramelized by the intense heat from the stainless steel radiant.

Most types of foods, steaks, chops, patties, poultry pieces, etc., cook somewhat faster on the gas grill with its constant regulated heat than on an ordinary charcoal grill.

Your new Thermador Pro- fessional® grill is equipped with an aluminized steel U-shaped tube burner typical of those used in restaurants. Automatic ignition is used to eliminate the continuous pilots found on restaurant grills. The grill burner is rated at 18,000 BTU/HR.

NOTE: When used with pro- pane gas, a slight pop or flash may occur at the burner ports a few seconds after the burner has been turned off. This usually occurs after the burner has been on awhile. This is normal.

The electronic igniter auto- matically sparks the burner to light. DO NOT TOUCH any burner while the igniters are sparking.

BURNER EFFICIENCY AND FLAME CHARACTERISTICS

The burner flame should be blue in color and stable with no yellow tips, excessive noise or lifting. It should burn completely along both sides of the burner tube.

An improper gas-air mixture may cause either a yellow tipped flame or burner flutter. Have the flame adjusted by a technician. Foreign particles in the gas line may cause an orange flame during initial use. This will disappear with use.

If the flame is uneven, flutters, makes excessive noise or lifts, check to see if the BURNER ports are clogged. If the ports are clogged, use a wire, a straightened paper clip or needle to clear the ports. If the condition persists, contact a service agency for adjustment.

Control Knob

CONTROL KNOB

The burner control has an infinite number of heat settings, and there are no fixed positions on the control knob between HI and LO. To turn the burner on, press the control knob and rotate it counterclockwise to the LITE position.

Adjust the knob to the desired heat setting.
