Using The Grill - Thermador PRG366EG Care And Use Manual

SECTION FOUR: USING THE COOKTOP
A VENTILATING HOOD of adequate cubic-feet-per-minute capacity vented to the outside of the house
is recommended for installation ABOVE THE RANGE AND GRILL. 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 require-
ments 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 stainless steel radiant.
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 Professional
grill is equipped with an aluminized
steel U-shaped 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 18,000 BTU/HR.
NOTE: When used with pro-
pane gas, a slight pop or
flash may occur at the 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.

Using the Grill

AUTOMATIC
REIGNITION
The electronic igniter auto-
matically sparks the burner to
light. DO NOT TOUCH any burner
while the igniters are sparking.
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 in the gas line 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 a wire, a straightened
paper clip or needle to clear the
ports. If the condition persists,
contact a service agency for
adjustment.

Control Knob
CONTROL KNOB
The burner control has an infinite
number of heat settings, and there
are no fixed positions on the control
knob between HI and LO. To turn
the burner on, press the control
knob and rotate it counter-
clockwise to the LITE position.
After the flame is completely
around the burner, adjust the knob
to the desired heat setting.
