Thermador PRD48JDSGU Use And Care Manual page 21

The THERMADOR PROFESSIONAL® occasionally has a
smell or smoke when first used. These smells or smoke
comes from the burning off of manufacturing residues and
is typical of any new oven regardless of manufacturer.
Before baking or broiling, the convection oven and
broiler should be turned on to burn off the manufacturing
oils using one of the two following methods:
1. Turn on kitchen ventilation (or if vent hood is a
recirculation type, open a window). Set oven at 500ºF
(260ºC) and let the oven go through a 2-hour cycle at
high heat then shut off the oven. Please read "Care
and Maintenance" on page 79 before cleaning the oven
racks.
2. Turn on kitchen ventilation (or if vent hood is a
recirculation type, open a window). Run the Self-Clean
cycle.
Please note that pet birds can be sensitive to the odors
created during any high heat cooking whether it is a
manufacturing residue burn off or food so it is recommended
that birds are removed from the kitchen area.
Before using the steam oven for the first time, clean it using
the STEAM mode for 20 minutes following the instructions
on page 51.
