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 precautions must be followed, including the following:
Read this Use and Care 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.
In the event a STAR® 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.
Child Safety
When children become old enough to use the appliance, it
is the legal responsibility of the parents or legal guardians
to ensure that they are instructed in safe operation of the
appliance by qualified persons.
DO NOT allow anyone to climb, stand, lean, sit, or hang on
any part of an appliance, especially a door, warming
drawer or storage drawer. This can damage the appliance,
and the unit may tip over, potentially causing severe injury.
DO NOT allow children to use this appliance unless closely
supervised by an adult.
Children and pets should not be left alone or unattended in
the area where the appliance is in use. They should never
be allowed to play in its vicinity, whether or not the
appliance is in use.
CAUTION:
Items of interest to children should not be
stored in an appliance, in cabinets above an
appliance, or on the backsplash. Children
climbing on an appliance to reach items could
be seriously injured.
NEVER use any part of the range or ovens 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 ovens. 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 STAR® burners; they could
catch on fire.
WARNING:
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A GREASE FIRE:
• 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.
• ALWAYS turn hood ON when cooking at
high heat or when flambéing food (i.e.
Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee,
Peppercorn Beef Flambé).
• Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease
should not be allowed to accumulate on
fan or filter.
Use proper pan size. ALWAYS use cookware
appropriate for the size of the cooktop STAR®
burner.
ALWAYS have a working smoke detector near the kitchen.
In the event that personal clothing or hair catches fire, drop
and roll immediately to extinguish flames.
Have an appropriate fire extinguisher available, nearby,
highly visible and easily accessible near the cooking
appliance.
