Section Four: USING THE COOKTOP
Using the Grill
A Ventilating
Hood of adequate cubic-feet-per-minute
air flow capacityvented
tothe outside of the house
is recommended
for installation
above
the
range.
For most kitchens
with a wall mounted
hood,
a
certified
hood
is recommended.
The hood
must
be installed
according
to installation
instructions
furnished
with the hood and local building
code requirements.
Refer to ventilation
requirements
in the
Installation
Instructions
for additional
information.
THE GRILL
(Available on some models)
When cooking food on the grill you
will achieve
the same flavor
as
meat cooked on an outdoor
grill.
This flavor is actually
created
by
the fats and juices that are brought
to the
surface
of the food
and
seared
by the intense
heat from
the titanium-coated
grill plate.
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
Profess-
ional ® grill is equipped
with an
aluminized
steel
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 12,000
BTU/HR
using natural gas (same
rating using Propane).
Note:
When
used with pro-
pane
gas,
a slight
pop
or
flash may occur atthe 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.
AUTOMATIC
REIGNITION
The
electronic
igniter
auto-
matically
glows
to
light
the
burner.
DO NOT
TOUCH
any
burner
while
the
igniter
is
active.
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
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 awire, a straightened
paper clip or needle to clear the
ports.
If the
condition
persists,
contact
a service
agency
for
adjustment.
