Safety Practices to Avoid
Personal Injury
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. When using kitchen
appliances, basic safety pre-
cautions must be followed,
including the following:
Read this Care and Use Manual
carefully before using your new
range to reduce the risk of fire,
electrical shock, or injury to
persons.
Insure proper installation and
servicing. Follow the installation
instructions provided with this
product. Have the range installed
and electrically grounded by a
qualified technician.
Have the installer show you
where the electric circuit
breaker and the gas supply shut
off valve are located so you know
how and where to turn off the gas
and electricity to the range.
• If you smell gas:
Do not try to light any appli-
ance.
Do not touch any electrical
switch.
Do not use any phone in your
building.
Immediately call your gas sup-
plier from a neighbor’s phone.
Follow the gas supplier’s in-
struction.
If you cannot reach your gas
supplier, call the fire depart-
ment.
Installation and service must
be performed by a qualified in-
staller, service agency or the
gas supplier.
In the event a burner goes out and
gas escapes, open a window or
a door. Do not attempt to use the
range 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
specifically recommended in this
manual. All other servicing should
be referred to a qualified
technician.
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 appliance.
If children are allowed to use the
appliance, they must be closely
supervised.
CAUTION: Do not store items
of interest to children above or
at the back of the range. If
children should climb onto the
appliance to reach these items,
they could be seriously injured.
Never use any part of the range
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 range 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
personal 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
elements, hot burners, or burner
grates.
For personal safety, wear
proper apparel. Loose fitting
garments or hanging sleeves
should never be worn while using
this appliance. 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 range.
Use of a foil liner could result in a
shock or fire hazard, or the
obstruction of the flow of
combustion 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 range.
TO REDUCE THE
RISK OF TIPPING OF
THE APPLIANCE, IT
MUST BE SECURED
BY A PROPERLY
INSTALLED ANTI-TIP
DEVICE. VERIFY THAT THE
ANTI-TIP DEVICE IS EN-
GAGED PER INSTALLATION
IN–STRUCTIONS. (NOTE:
ANTI-TIP DEVICE IS
REQUIRED ON ALL 30" AND
36" RANGES)
Section One: GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING

Section One: GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Safety Precautions
Warning: The appliance is
for cooking. Based on safety
considerations, never use the oven
or cooktop to warm or heat a room.
Also, such use can damage the
cooktop or oven parts.
When using the cooktop: DO NOT
TOUCH THE BURNER GRATES
OR THE IMMEDIATE SUR-
ROUNDING AREA. Areas
adjacent to the burners may
become hot enough to cause
burns.
Never leave the range
unattended when using high
flame settings. Boil overs cause
smoking and greasy spillovers that
may ignite. More importantly, if
the burner flames are smothered,
unburned gas will escape into the
room. See Inside Front Cover
regarding gas leaks.
Only certain types of glass,
heat-proof glass-ceramic,
ceramic, earthenware, or other
glazed utensils are suitable for
range use. This type of utensil
may break with sudden
temperature changes. Use only
on low or medium heat settings
according to the utensil
manufacturer’s directions.
Do not heat unopened food
containers; a buildup of pressure
may cause the container to burst.
During cooking, set the burner
control so that the flame heats
only the bottom of the pan and
does not extend beyond the
bottom of the pan.
Avoid using high flame setting with
a pan larger than the grate or
with one that spans more than
one burner, such as a griddle, for
prolonged periods of time. This
can result in poor combustion that
generates harmful by-products.
Use caution to insure that drafts
like those from forced air vents or
fans do not blow flammable
material toward the flames or push
the flames so that they extend
beyond the edges of the pot.
Always use utensils that have
flat bottoms large enough to
cover the burner. The use of
undersized utensils could expose
a portion of the flame and may
result in ignition of clothing.
Do not use flammable cleaners to
clean the range.
To minimize the risk of burns,
ignition of flammable materials
and unintentional spillage,
position handles of utensils
inward so they do not extend over
adjacent work areas, cooking
areas, or the edge of the range's
cooktop.
Hold the handle of the pan to
prevent movement of the utensil
when stirring or turning food.
DO NOT use pots or pans on the
grill section.
Do not use the grill for cooking
excessively fatty meats or
products which promote flare-
ups.
The optional cutting board
accessory must be removed
before operating the griddle
beneath or burners adjacent to it.
GREASE IS FLAMMABLE. Let
hot grease cool before attempting
to handle it. Avoid letting grease
deposits collect. Clean after each
use.
For proper lighting and
performance of the burners, keep
the igniter ports clean. It is
necessary to clean these when
there is a boil over or when the
burner does not light even though
the electronic igniters click. See
Page 39.
5
WARNING
After a spill or boil over, turn off
the burner and clean around the
burner and burner ports. After
cleaning, check for proper
operation.
Clean the range with caution.
Avoid steam burns; do not use a
wet sponge or cloth to clean the
cooktop while it is hot. Some
cleaners produce noxious fumes
if applied to a hot surface. Follow
directions provided by the cleaner
manufacturer.
Be sure all cooktop controls are
turned off and the cooktop is cool
before using any type of aerosol
cleaner on or around the cooktop.
The chemical that produces the
spraying action could, in the
presence of heat, ignite or cause
metal parts to corrode.
When using the oven: DO NOT
TOUCH THE BROILER ELEMENT
,
THE INTERIOR SURFACES OF
THE OVEN OR THE EXTERIOR
AREA IMMEDIATELY SUR-
ROUNDING THE DOOR. Interior
oven surfaces become hot enough
to cause burns. The heat deflector,
which deflects heat away from the
cooktop and the trim on the top
and sides of the oven door, will
also be hot when the oven is in
use.
Place oven racks in desired
position while oven is cool. If a
rack must be moved while the
oven is hot, do not let the
potholders contact the broiler
element.
Use care when opening the oven
door; let hot air or steam escape
before removing or replacing
foods.
Before self-cleaning the oven,
remove the broiler pan, oven racks
and any other utensils, and excess
spillage.
Section One: GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Safety Precautions
Do not clean, rub, damage,
move or remove the door
gasket. I
t is essential for a good
seal during baking and while self-
cleaning the oven. If the gasket
becomes damaged or has excessive
food spillage, replace the door
gasket. This will assure a tight seal.
Protect the self-cleaning
feature. Clean only those parts
indicated in this booklet. Do not
use commercial oven cleaners or
oven liner protective coatings of
any kind in or around the large
self-cleaning oven.
DO NOT obstruct the flow of
combustion or ventilation air.
For safety reasons and to avoid
equipment damage, never sit,
stand, or lean on the oven door.
6
Service should only be done by
authorized technicans. Techni-
cians must disconnect the power
supply before servicing this unit.
Listen to be sure the cooling
blower runs whenever the oven
controls are set to broil or self-
clean. If the fan does not operate,
do not use the oven. Call an
authorized service center for
service.
Clean the ventilator hood and filters
above the range frequently so
grease from cooking vapors does
not accumulate on them.
• In case of fire or when inten-
tionally “flaming” liquor or
other spirits on the range's
cooktop, follow hood man-
ufacturer’s instructions.
California Proposition 65
Warning: The burning of gas
cooking fuel and the elimination of
soil during self-cleaning generate
some by-products which are on
the list of substances which are
known by the State of California to
cause cancer or reproductive
harm. California law requires
businesses to warn customers of
potential exposure to such
substances. To minimize exposure
to these substances, always
operate this unit according to the
instructions contained in this
booklet and provide good
ventilation to the room when
cooking with gas, during and
immediately after self-cleaning the
oven.

Parts Department toll-free at 800/735-4327 for
more information.
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 position 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 14 for details.
Remove all packaging materials
and temporary labels from oven
and cooktop.

Section Four: USING THE COOKTOP
Sealed Burners
USING THE COOKTOP
The cooktop features four or six
gas surface burners; each rated
at 15,000 BTU/HR. The burners
are sealed to the stainless steel
top frame to prevent liquid spills
from accumulating below the top
surface, making it easier to clean.
On all models, the two left burners
have the exclusive ExtraLow
feature, the remaining burners are
standard. Each burner has its own
control knob.
ExtraLow® Burner
Control Knob
CONTROL KNOBS
The two words above each control
knob identifies the burner
position. For example, LEFT
FRONT, RIGHT FRONT, etc.
Standard Burner
Control Knob
Bezel
Knob
The control knobs for two sealed
gas burners, one in front and one
in the rear, are located directly in
front of and below the pair of
burners on the control panel.
OPERATION OF THE
BURNERS
Press in on the knob and turn it
counter-clockwise to the HI
setting.
The igniter for the selected
sealed burner clicks and
sparks.
After flame ignition, the igniter
stops clicking.
Rotate the knob to any flame
setting between HI and LO.
The Blue Burner Signal Light,
between the burners, will light
when adjacent burners are lit.
They will remain on until the
burner is turned off.
BTU Output for Standard Burners
HI is equivalent
to
15,000 BTU
/
HR.
LO is equivalent to 2,100 BTU
/
HR.
BTU Output for ExtraLow® Burners
HI is equivalent to
15,000 BTU
/
HR.
LO is equivalent to
3,000 BTU
/
HR.
XLO is equivalent to
370 BTU
/
HR.
ExtraLow®
Burners
The controls for the two left
burners, front and rear, have
flame settings even lower than the
standard LO settings.
The drawing shows that the
control knob has an additional
range between the LO and XLO
settings. When the knob is set
within this range, the flame cycles
off and on. By varying the length
of time the flame is off and on,
the heat is reduced even further
to cook delicate foods. For
example, these very low settings
are suitable for simmering and
poaching, melting chocolate and
butter, holding cooked foods at
temperatures without scorching or
burning, etc.

ExtraLow Techniques
The type and quantity of food
affects which setting to use.
The pan selected affects the
setting. Its size, type, material,
and whether a lid is used, all
affect the consistency of the
cooking temperature.
Operation of the ExtraLow
Burners
XLO, the very lowest setting, is
achieved by cycling the flame
ON for approximately 8
seconds and OFF for 52
seconds of each minute.
When the knob is set just below
the LO setting, the flame will
cycle ON for approximately 52
seconds and OFF for 8
seconds of each minute.
To vary the amount of low heat
to suit the food and quantity, the
control can be set anywhere
within the LO and XLO range
marked on the knob.
The number and dash
designations, shown in the
drawing, are for reference only.
Numbers do not actually
appear on the knob. The
number indicates the position
of the flame setting as
represented on the cooking
chart, pages 17 and 18, with the
flame on longer at the #4
setting than on #1 setting.

Star® Burner
Components
Each burner has its own electronic
igniter that sparks when the
burner is turned on. Each burner
should light in 4 seconds or less.
If a burner does not light, check
to see that the cap is positioned
correctly on the base. Do not
touch the burners when the
igniters are sparking. If a burner
fails to ignite, refer to the section
on Page 43, “Before Calling for
Service.”

To maintain a low or simmer
heat, bring food to a rolling boil.
Stir well, then cover the pan and
lower the heat to a setting just
below LO.
Check periodically to see if the
control knob should be turned
to another setting.
If an over-size pan is used, the
simmer action may occur
mainly in the center of the pan.
To equalize the temperature
throughout the food, stir the
food around the outer edges of
the pan into the food in the
center.
It is normal to stir food
occasionally while simmering.
This is especially important
when simmering for several
hours, such as for a homemade
spaghetti sauce or beans.
When lowering the flame
setting, adjust it in small steps.
If the setting is too low to hold
a simmer, bring the food back
to a boil before re-setting to a
higher heat.
It is normal not to see simmer
bubbles immediately after the
food has been stirred.
There may be bubbling when
the flame cycles ON and no
bubbles when the flame is OFF.
Even when the flame is OFF,
there will be steam and a slight
quiver on the liquid’s surface.

IGNITER
14
AUTOMATIC RE-IGNITION
If any one or more burners or grill
blow out, the electronic igniter
automatically sparks to re-light the
flame.
Do not touch the burners
when the igniters are sparking.
IMPORTANT:
For proper combustion do not
use the cooktop without the
burner grates in place.
There is a slight sound
associated with gas
combustion and ignition. This
is a normal condition.
On cooktops using propane
gas (LP), a slight “pop” sound
may be heard at the burner
ports a few seconds after the
burner has been turned off.
FLAME DESCRIPTION
The burner flame color should
be blue with no yellow on the
tips. It is not uncommon to see
orange in the flame color; this
indicates the burning of
airborne impurities in the gas
and will disappear with use.
With propane (LP) gas, slight
yellow tips on the
primary cone
are normal.
The flame should burn
completely around the burner
cap. If it doesn’t, check that the
cap is positioned correctly on
the base and that the ports are
not blocked.
The flame should be stable with
no excessive noise or fluttering.
FLAME HEIGHT
• The correct flame height
depends on 1) size and
material of pan being used; 2)
food being cooked; and 3)
amount of liquid in the pan.
Never extend the flame beyond
the base of the pan.
Use a low or medium flame for
pan materials that conduct the
heat slowly, such as porcelain
coated steel or glass-ceramic.
POWER FAILURE
In the event of a power failure,
only the standard burners
can be manually lit. It is
necessary to light each one
individually.
If the cooktop is being used
when the power failure occurs,
turn all knobs to the OFF
position.
The standard burners can be
lighted by holding a match at
the ports and turning the control
knob to the HI position. Wait
until the flame is burning all
around the burner cap before
adjusting the flame to the
desired height.
Neither ExtraLow burner can be
used during a power failure. Be
sure to turn them off.
If either ExtraLow burner is on
when a power failure occurs,
they cannot be turned back on
until both knobs are first turned
off.
The griddle or grill cannot be
used during a power failure.
If you smell gas, refer to safety
precautions listed inside the
front cover.

Cookware Recommendations
CAUTION:
Food packaged in aluminum foil should not
be placed directly on the burner grate.
Aluminum foil can melt during cooking.
Do not let plastic, paper or cloth come in
contact with a hot burner grate. They may
melt or catch fire.
Never let a pan boil dry. This can damage
your pan and the cooking surface.
Select the base diameter to match the diameter
of the flame. The diameter of the flame should be
the same size as the pan base or slightly smaller.
Oversize or under size pans sacrifice cooking
performance. A 5
-1
/2" (140 mm) base size is
generally the smallest recommended.
Professional quality pans with metal handles are
recommended because plastic handles can melt
or blister, if the flame extends up the side of the
pan. Professional quality pans are found at
restaurant supply stores and gourmet specialty
shops. All cookware should have these
characteristics: good heat conductivity, good
balance, correctly sized base diameter, a heavy,
flat base, and a proper fitting lid. For best cooking
results, the flame should be contained under the
bottom of the pan.
Aluminum and copper are pan materials that
conduct the heat quickly and evenly. These metals
are sometimes attached to the base or in the core
between stainless steel.
Balance is important for stability and even cooking.
The handle must not be heavier than the pan and
tilt it unevenly. A pan must sit level on the grate
without rocking or wobbling.
A heavy, flat base is more apt to remain flat when
heated. Pan bases that are warped, dented, ridged
or too lightweight will heat unevenly. Heat and cool
pans gradually to avoid sudden temperature
changes which tend to distort cookware. Do not
add cold water to a hot pan.
A properly fitting lid will shorten cooking time and
make it possible to use lower heat settings.

Cooking Recomendations
Suggestions for Using the Recommenda-
tions
Use the chart on Pages 17 and 18 as a guide. The
settings you use will vary depending on the pans
selected and the starting temperature of the food.
On the chart, the “Finish Setting” has been separated
for the standard and ExtraLow burners. There may
or may not be a change between the two burner
settings.
The ExtraLow setting can be either a cooking or a
holding setting.
Raise or lower the flame setting gradually. Allow time
for the pan and the food to adjust to the new setting.
Round-Bottom Wok
in Support Ring
Woks – Either flat based or round bottom woks
with the accessory ring can be used on models
without a built-in wok burner. Round bottom woks
must be used with a support ring. The porcelain-
coated cast iron wok support ring must be
purchased separately.
Canners and Stock Pots – Select one with a base
diameter that extends no more than 2 inches
(51mm) beyond the grate.
Standard Size Water Bath Canner
21 to 22 quarts (19.95 to 20.9 liters),
with an 11 to 12 inch base (279 to 305 mm)
and a 9 to 11 inch depth (229 to 279 mm).
Standard Size Pressure Canner
8 to 22 quarts (7.6 to 20.9 liters), with an
8 to 11 inch base (203 to 279 mm) and
a 6
-1
/2" to 12 inch depth (165 - 305 mm).
Canning Tips:
A flat base pan is preferred to one with a concave,
convex or rippled base.
When using two canners at the same time, use
staggered burners. Do not block air to the burners.
A flame needs the right amount of air for complete
combustion.
Use a cover on a canner when bringing the
contents to a boil.
Once the contents have reached a boil on HI, use
the lowest flame possible to maintain the boil or
pressure.
Canning produces a large amount of steam. Take
precautions to prevent burns.
