IMPORTANT: SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE
LOCAL ELECTRICAL INSPECTOR’S USE.
INSTALLER: LEAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS WITH THE
UNIT FOR THE OWNER.
OWNER: PLEASE RETAIN THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR
FUTURE REFERENCE.
WARNING
When properly cared for, your new appliance has been
designed to be safe and reliable. Read all instructions
carefully before use. These precautions will reduce the
risk of burns, electric shock, fire and injury to persons.
When using kitchen appliances, basic safety precautions
must be followed including those in the following pages.
Fire Safety
Save these instructions.
Set the burner control so that the flame does not extend
beyond the bottom of the pan.
Do not allow aluminum foil, plastic, paper or cloth to
come in contact with a hot surface element, burner or
grate. Do not allow pans to boil dry.
If the cooktop is near a window, forced air vent or fan,
be certain that flammable materials such as window
coverings do not blow over or near the burners or
elements. They could catch on fire.
Always have a working smoke detector near the kitchen.
Never leave the cooktop unattended when in use.
Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers may
ignite.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A GREASE FIRE:
a.
Never leave surface units unattended at high settings.
Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that
may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.
b.
Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or
when flambéing food (i.e. Crêpes Suzette, Cherries
Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).
c.
Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be
allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
d.
Use proper pan size. Always use cookware
appropriate for the size of the surface element.
In the event that personal clothing or hair catches fire,
drop and roll immediately to extinguish flames.
Smother flames from food fires other than grease fires
with baking soda. Never use water on cooking fires.
Take care that drafts like those from fans or forced air
vents do not push the flames so that they extend beyond
the edges of the pan.
Have an appropriate fire extinguisher available, nearby,
highly visible and easily accessible near the appliance.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN
THE EVENT OF A GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE
FOLLOWING:
a.
SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie
sheet, or metal tray, then turn off the burner. BE
CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If the flames do not
go out immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE
DEPARTMENT.
b.
NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN – You may be
burned.
c.
DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or
towels – a violent steam explosion will result.
d.
Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
- You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher, and
you already know how to operate it.
- The fire is small and contained in the area where it
started.
- The fire department is being called.
- You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
During a power failure, only the cooktop burners can be
lit manually.
Whenever possible, do not operate the ventilation system
during a cooktop fire. However, do not reach through fire
to turn it off.
Gas Safety
To prevent carbon monoxide build-up, do not block
appliance air vents.
Have the installer show you where the gas shut-off valve
is located.
For proper burner performance, keep igniters clean and
dry.
If a burner goes out and gas escapes, open windows
and doors. Wait until gas dissipates before using the
appliance.
WARNING
All igniters spark when any single burner is turned on for
SGS and SGSP models. One igniter sparks on SGSX and
SGSXP when burner is turned on. Do not touch any of
the burners when the cooktop is in use.
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
smell. If you smell gas, immediately shut off the unit and
contact an authorized service technician to diagnose the
issue. See Warning, ~ "Gas Appliance Safety"
on page 5

9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
To prevent flare-ups all grates must be properly
positioned on the cooktop whenever the cooktop is in
use. Each of the feet must be placed into the
corresponding dimples in the cooktop. Do not use a
grate if the rubber feet are missing or damaged.
Keep the igniter ports clean for proper lighting
performance of the burners. It is necessary to clean
these when there is a boilover or when the burner does
not light even though the electronic igniters click.
WARNING
To prevent flare-ups do not use the cooktop without all
burner caps and all burner grates properly positioned.
WARNING
Do not clean or touch any of the burners when an extra
low burner (if equipped) is in use. When the extra low
burner automatically reignites the ignitor at the burner will
spark.
WARNING
Use this appliance only for its intended use as described
in this manual. NEVER use this appliance as a space
heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in
carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating the
appliance. Never use the appliance for storage.
Burn Prevention
DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR
UNITS - Surface units may be hot even though they are
dark in color. Areas near surface units may become hot
enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not
touch, or let clothing, potholders, or other flammable
materials contact surface units or areas near units until
they have had sufficient time to cool. Among these areas
are the cooktop and areas facing the cooktop.
Do not heat or warm unopened food containers. Build-up
of pressure may cause the container to burst and cause
injury.
Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when
flambéing food (i.e. Crêpes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee,
Peppercorn Beef Flambe).
Use high heat settings on the cooktop only when
necessary. To avoid bubbling and splattering, heat oil
slowly on no more than a low-medium setting. Hot oil is
capable of causing extreme burns and injury.
Never move a pan of hot oil, especially a deep fat fryer.
Wait until it is cool.
Secure all loose garments, etc. before beginning. Tie
long hair so that it does not hang loose, and do not wear
loose fitting clothing or hanging garments, such as ties,
scarves, jewelry, or dangling sleeves.
Child Safety
When children become old enough to use the appliance,
it is the responsibility of the parents or legal guardians to
ensure that they are instructed in safe practices by
qualified persons.

items could be seriously injured.
Cleaning Safety
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE: The California Safe
Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the
Governor of California to publish a list of substances
known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn
customers of potential exposure to such substances. The
burning of gas cooking fuel and the elimination of soil
during self-cleaning can generate some by-products
which are on the list. To minimize exposure to these
substances, always operate this unit according to the
instructions contained in this booklet and provide good
ventilation.
WARNING
The burning of gas cooking fuel can create small
amounts of Carbon Monoxide, Benzene, Formaldehyde
and Soot. To minimize exposure to these substances the
burners should be adjusted by a certified installer or
agency to ensure proper combustion. Ensure proper
ventilation with an open window or use a ventilation fan
or hood when cooking with gas. Always operate the unit
according to the instructions in this manual.
9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
8
After a spill or boilover, turn off the burner and allow the
cooktop to cool. Clean around the burner and burner
ports. After cleaning, check for proper operation.
Do not clean the appliance while it is still hot. Some
cleaners produce noxious fumes when applied to a hot
surface. Wet clothes and sponges can cause burns from
steam.
Cookware Safety
Hold the handle of the pan when stirring or turning food.
This helps prevent spills and movement of the pan.
Use Proper Pan Size.
The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of
the heating element or burner to direct contact and may
result in ignition of clothing. Select cookware having flat
bottoms large enough to cover the surface heating unit.
This appliance is equipped with one or more surface
units of different size. Proper relationship of cookware to
heating element or burner will also improve efficiency.
Always position handles of utensils inward so they do not
extend over adjacent work areas, burners, or the edge of
the cooktop. This reduces the risk of fires, spills and
burns.
Adjust burner flame size so that it does not extend
beyond the edge of the cookware. Proper relationship of
cookware to burner flame reduces safety risks.
Use only certain types of glass, heatproof glass, ceramic,
earthenware, or other glazed utensils that are suitable for
cooktop use.
Proper Installation and Maintenance

State of California Proposition 65
Warning:
WARNING
This product can expose you to chemicals including vinyl
chloride, which is known to the State of California to
cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive
harm. For more information go to
www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.
Note: IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE: The California Safe
Drinking and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the
Governor of California to publish a list of substances
known to the state to cause cancer, birth defect or other
reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn
customers of potential exposure to such substances. The
burning of gas cooking fuel and the elimination of soil
during self-cleaning can generate small amounts of
carbon monoxide. The fiberglass insulation in Self Clean
ovens gives off very small amounts of formaldehyde
during the first several cleaning cycles. California lists
formaldehyde as a potential cause of cancer. Carbon
monoxide is a potential cause of reproductive toxicity.
Exposure to these substances can be minimized by:
1.
Providing good ventilation when cooking with gas.
2.
Operating the unit according to the instructions in this
manual.

Operation
About the Appliance
Use the cooktop for surface cooking applications such
as boiling, frying, simmering, steaming and sautéing.
9 WARNING
The burning of gas cooking fuel can create small
amounts of carbon monoxide, benzene,
formaldehyde and soot. To minimize exposure to
these substances, the burners should be adjusted
by a certified installer or authorized servicer to
ensure proper combustion. Ensure proper
ventilation with an open window or use a ventilation
fan or hood when cooking with Gas. Always operate
the unit according to the instructions in this manual.
Normal Operation - Electronic Ignition/Reignition
The cooktop uses electronic igniters to light the burners.
There is no pilot light. Each burner has its own igniter. If a
burner flame blows out during use, the burner will
automatically reignite.
9 CAUTION
To avoid possible injury or damage to the
appliance, ensure grates are installed exactly per
installation instructions and not backwards or
upside down.
The igniter should be clean and dry for proper operation.
▯ Avoid getting water or food on the igniter.
▯ If the igniter is wet or soiled, it may spark without
igniting the burner, or even spark continuously when a
flame is present.
Note: If the burner does not light within 4 seconds, turn
the burner off. Check to see that the burner cap is
positioned correctly on the burner base and the igniter is
clean and dry. If a burner still fails to ignite, see “Before
Calling for Service”.
When a flame is present and a Low setting is used, the
igniter may occasionally spark. This is normal.
9 CAUTION
To avoid possible injury or damage to the
appliance, ensure grates are installed exactly per
installation instructions and not backwards or
upside down.
Typical Flame Characteristics
The burner flame should be blue in color and stable with
no yellow tips, excessive noise or fluttering. It should
burn completely around the burner cap.
Checking Flame Characteristics:
▯ If the flame is completely or mostly yellow, verify that
the regulator is set for the correct fuel. After
adjustment, retest.
▯ Some yellow streaking is normal during the initial start-
up. Allow unit to operate 4 to 5 minutes and re-
evaluate before making adjustments.
▯ Foreign particles in the gas line may cause an orange
flame during initial use. This should disappear with
use. Check burner to make sure port holes are not
obstructed. If the ports are clogged. ~ "Before
Calling for Service" on page 24
Note: An audible “pop” may be heard when the burner
is turned off manually. The “popping” may be louder with
LP gas than with natural gas. This is normal.

15
Choosing Suitable Cookware
Specialty Cookware
Pans that span 2 burners, (i.e. griddles, roasters, fish
poachers, etc.) may be used when placed front to back.
For all models, use the Thermador accessory griddle
(Model SGRIDDLEW) on the center burner only. See
Parts and Accessories section for further information.
Use a wok with a flat bottom. Round bottom woks (with
a maximum 16 inch diameter) can be used with the
Thermador accessory support wok ring (Model
SWOKRINGW). See Parts and Accessories section for
further information.
Canners and pressure cookers must meet the same
requirements as described above. After bringing
contents to a boil, use lowest heat setting possible to
maintain a boil or pressure (for pressure canners or
cookers)
Cooking Recommendations for Your Cooktop
Beverages
Beverages should be heated to a boil on High heat, and
then simmered on a lower setting. If the beverage is held
on Low (or ExtraLow) to keep warm, stir approximately
every 10 minutes to prevent sticking or burning. You can
find the ideal settings for several beverages in the
Standard Burner and ExtraLow Cooking Tables. Use a
lower setting if the pan is covered.
Breads
Breads (i.e. French toast and grilled sandwiches) are
best cooked using a preheated skillet or griddle on
Medium heat. Once the pan is preheated, begin cooking
breads according to ideal settings in the Standard Burner
Cooking Table. From batch to batch, the heat setting
may need to be adjusted for optimal browning.
Deep Frying
Deep Frying is recommended on the large burner on
Medium High heat. The heat setting may need to be
adjusted to maintain oil temperature. You can find the
ideal settings for several deep fried foods in the Standard
Burner Cooking Table.
Sauces, Soups and Stocks
Sauces, Soups, and Stocks should be heated to a boil
on High heat and then simmered on a lower setting.
When heating cream sauces on your cooktop, use a
lower setting than tomato sauces to prevent scorching. If
sauce, soup or stock is held on Low (or ExtraLow) to
keep warm, stir approximately every 10 minutes to
prevent sticking or burning. You can find the ideal
settings for several sauces, soups and stocks in the
Standard Burner and ExtraLow Cooking Tables. Use a
lower setting if the pan is covered.
Cookware Recommendations
Pan Bottom Diameter
▯ The flame should be the same size as the bottom of the
pan or smaller.
▯ Do not use small pans with high flame settings as the
flames can lick up the sides of the pan.
▯ Oversize pans that span two burners are placed front to
back, not side to side.
▯ For best cooking results, large pans should not extend
over the sides of the grates.
Use Balanced Pans
▯ Balance is important for stability and even cooking.
▯ Pans must sit level on the cooktop grate without rocking
or wobbling.
▯ Center pan over burner.
Proper Fitting Lid
▯ A well-fitting lid helps shorten the cooking time.
▯ For best cooking results, always use a lid when boiling
water.

Vegetables, Side Dishes and Eggs
Steamed vegetables are easy to make on your cooktop.
Bring the water and vegetable to a boil with a lid on High
heat, then turn down to a lower setting until tender.
Cereals and rice should be cooked on the large or
medium burner on High heat, and then finished
according to the recipe instructions or until liquid is
absorbed. Cereals and rice can both be simmered using
ExtraLow. Pasta is best cooked on the large burner.
Using High heat with a lid, bring water to a boil. Once
pasta is added, the heat may need to be turned down to
prevent boil over.
When cooking scrambled or fried eggs melt butter on
Medium High, and then add eggs to cook to desirable
doneness. You can find the ideal settings for several of
these dishes in the Standard Burner and ExtraLow
Cooking Tables.
Meat, Fish and Poultry
In the Standard Burner and ExtraLow® Cooking Tables,
the ideal heating setting for any meat, fish or poultry can
be found. The cooking time depends on the amount,
composition and temperature of the food. Setting ranges
are indicated for this reason. Try using the lower values
at first or increase the temperatures throughout cooking.
Below are a few recommendations when cooking meat,
fish and poultry on the cooktop:
▯ Meats are best cooked on the large burner.
▯ It is recommended to use a preheated skillet when
pan frying meats.
▯ Cook bacon and sausage patties on Medium High
until meat starts to sizzle, and then turn heat down to
Medium.
▯ Simmering: Bring liquid to a boil on High, and then
simmer covered on Medium Low to Low (or
ExtraLow®) until meat is tender.
▯ Braising: Brown meat on Medium High, and then
simmer covered on Medium Low to Low (or
ExtraLow®) until meat is tender.
▯ Poaching: Bring liquid to a boil on High heat, and then
simmer covered on Low or ExtraLow until meat is
cooked through.
Desserts
Chocolate is best melted using ExtraLow® (see
ExtraLow® Cooking Table for appropriate setting). If the
cooktop does not have ExtraLow®, chocolate should be
melted using a double boiler on the small burner.
Standard Burner Cooking
The table lists the optimal heating setting for various dishes. The temperature and cooking time depend on the
amount, composition and temperature of the food. Setting ranges are indicated for this reason. Try using the lower
values at first. During cooking heat may be increased.

ExtraLow® Burner Cooking (SGSX and SGSXP Models
Only)
The Center and Left Front burners are enhanced with the
ExtraLow® (XLO) feature. When the control knob is set
within one of the five XLO settings, the flame cycles ON
and OFF automatically. This cycling is normal and allows
simmering, poaching, melting or holding cooked food
without scorching or burning.
How They Work
There are five XLO settings that vary in heating level. The
XLO settings gradually decrease in heating level as the
knob is turned to the right of the LO position.
The burner flame will cycle ON and OFF during each
minute when the control knob is at any one of the five
XLO settings. The time the flame is ON depends on the
XLO setting. XLO 5 has the highest heating level of the
XLO settings so the flame is ON for the longest amount
of time. As the knob is turned counterclockwise, the
amount of time the flame is ON will decrease.
Each XLO setting can be set by turning the appropriate
control knob to the desired XLO setting (see ExtraLow®
Setting Locations below). A slight catch will be felt at the
LO position and each designated XLO setting.

(XLO)
ExtraLow® (XLO) Setting Locations
The table lists the optimal heating setting for various
dishes. The temperature and cooking time depend on
the amount, composition and temperature of the food.
Setting ranges are indicated for this reason. Try using the
lower values first. Heat can be increased during cooking.
▯ Check the food occasionally to see if the control knob
should be turned to a lower or higher setting.
▯ It is normal to stir food occasionally. This is especially
important when simmering for several hours, such as
homemade sauce or beans.
▯ Simmer bubbles may not be seen when the flame has
cycled OFF.
▯ While the flame is ON, there may be bubbling. There
should be at least steam and a slight quivering of the
liquid’s surface.
▯ Use a lower XLO setting if the pan is covered.
▯ When lowering the flame setting, adjust it one XLO
setting at a time.
▯ If a setting is too low to hold a simmer, bring the food
back to a boil before resetting to a higher heat.
▯ If an oversized pan is used, the simmer action may
occur more in the center. For even cooking, stir the
food around the outer edges into the food in the
center.
▯ The quantity and type of food affects which setting to
use.
