When properly used and cared

for your new Thermador Cook-

top has been designed to be a safe,

reliable appliance. When using

kitchen appliances, basic safety

precautions must be followed, in- cluding the following:

Read this Care and Use Manual

carefully before using you new

cooktop to reduce the risk of fire,

electric shock, or injury to per-

sons.

Begin by insuring proper in-

stallation		and servicing.				Fol-
low	the	installation			instruc-
tions	provided		with	this prod-
uct.	Have	the	cooktop		installed
and	grounded		by	a	qualified
technician.			Have the		installer

show you where the gas shut-

offvalve is located so that you

know how and where to turn

off the gas to the cooktop.

If you			smell gas,			your	installer
has		not done			a	proper	job	of
checking				for	leaks.		Connec-
tions		can		loosen		in transit.		If
the		connections				are	not per-
fectly			tight,	you		can	have	a
small		leak		and	therefore		a faint
gas	smell.			Finding		a gas leak		is
not		a "do-it-yourself'					proce-
dure.		Some		leaks		can	only be
found			with	the	burner		control
in	the		ON	position.
