Thermador PRD48JDSGU Use And Care Manual page 12

DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion or ventilation air.
For safety reasons and to avoid damage to the range,
NEVER sit, stand, or lean on the oven doors.
Service should only be done by authorized technicians.
Technicians 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 BAKE modes, after
ovens heat to 300°F (150°C) — see "Automatic operation
of the cooling blower" on page 41. If the fans do not
operate, DO NOT use the ovens. Call an authorized
service center for service.
To avoid a fire hazard, grease accumulation must be
prevented by frequently cleaning the ventilation hood and
filters.
In case of fire or when intentionally "flaming" liquor or other
spirits on the range's cooktop, follow manufacturer's
instructions.
Use caution when cooking foods with high alcohol content
(e.g. rum, brandy, bourbon) in the ovens. Alcohol
evaporates at high temperatures. There is a risk of burning
as the alcohol vapors may catch fire in the ovens. Use only
small quantities of alcohol in foods, and open the oven
doors carefully.
WARNING:
To avoid possible burn or fire hazard, a back
guard designed specifically for this range
must be installed whenever the range is used.
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 can generate some by-
products which are on the list. Exposure to these
substances can be minimized by:
1. Providing good ventilation when cooking with gas.
2. Providing good ventilation during and immediately after
self cleaning the oven.
3. Operating the unit according to the instructions in this
manual.
DO NOT store or use corrosive chemicals, vapors,
flammables or nonfood products in or near this appliance. It

is specifically designed for use when heating or cooking
food. The use of corrosive chemicals while heating or
cleaning will damage the appliance and could result in injury.
Steam Oven Safety Practices
Baking and Steaming Safety
CAUTION:
Hot steam can escape during use. DO NOT
touch the ventilation openings.
CAUTION:
Hot steam can escape when opening the
oven door. Hot water may drip from the door.
Keep children away.
CAUTION:
Use pot holders to remove inserted cooking
accessories from the hot oven. Hot liquid may
spill over when removing the cooking
accessories.
The steam oven bottom and the evaporator dish must
always remain clear. Always place ovenware on the rack or
in the perforated cooking pan.
Ovenware must be heat and steam resistant. Silicone
baking pans are not suitable for STEAM/CONVEC mode.
When using STEAM mode with a perforated cooking pan,
always slide the baking pan underneath it. The pan will
catch any drippings.
DO NOT store moist foods for an extended period of time in
the closed steam oven. The food could cause corrosion of
the oven interior.
DO NOT overfill very juicy fruit tortes with fruit when using
the baking pan. The fruit juice that drips off the baking pan
leaves behind stains that cannot be removed.
When using aluminum foil in the steam oven, DO NOT
allow it to touch the glass on the door. This could cause
permanent staining of the door glass.
DO NOT place anything on the open appliance door. This
could damage the appliance.
The use of accessory attachments not recommended by
THERMADOR® may cause injuries.
