30-Inch Electric Range Care and Use Manual

A Special Message to Our Customers

Thank you for buying a Thermador®Range. We recommend that you take

the time to read this entire booklet before using your new appliance.

Before you use the cooktop, the glass ceramic surface must be thoroughly

cleaned with the Cooktop Cleaning Cream®. The cleaning cream helps to

protect the smooth-top surface and guarantees a clean cooking surface. To

maintain the cooktop’s appearance, read page 40 for “Daily 3 step care” of

the glass ceramic cooktop.

We hope that the information in this manual helps you easily operate and

care for your range for years of satisfaction.

Please contact us if you have any questions or comments. Thermador’s ad-

dress and phone number are listed on Page 45 and on the back cover of this

manual.

Sincerely,

Thermador Test Kitchen Consumer Scientists

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read all instructions before using this appliance.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

• The California Safe Drinking Water and

Toxic Enforcement Act requires businesses

to warn customers of potential exposure to

substances which are known by the State of

California to cause cancer or reproductive

harm.

• The burning of gas cooking fuel and the

elimination of soil during self-cleaning gen-

erates some by-products which are on the

list.

• The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens

gives off a very small amount of formalde-

hyde during the first several cleaning cycles.

• To minimize exposure to these substances

always operate this unit according to the in-

structions contained in this booklet and pro-

vide good ventilation to the room during

and immediately after self-cleaning the

oven.

SAFETY FOR ALL APPLIANCES

• Use this unit only in the manner intended

by the manufacturer. If you have any ques-

tions contact the manufacturer.

• Be sure the range is properly installed and

grounded by a qualified technician.

• Never use the oven or cooktop to warm or

heat a room. Also such use can damage the

cooktop or oven parts.

• Children should not be left alone or unat-

tended in the area where the appliance is in

use. They should never be allowed to sit or

stand on any part of the appliance.

• Do not store flammable materials on or near

the cooktop or in the oven.

• Do not use water on a grease fire. Smother

fire or flame or use a dry chemical or

foam-type extinguisher.

• Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp

potholders on hot surfaces may result in

burns from steam. Do not let potholder

touch hot heating elements. Do not use a

towel or other bulky cloth.

• Do not repair or replace any part of the ap-

pliance unless specifically recommended in

this manual. All other servicing should be

referred to an authorized servicer.

• In the event that personal clothing catches

fire, DROP AND ROLL IMMEDIATELY to

extinguish flames.

• As a precaution, it is highly recommended

that a fire extinguisher be readily available

and highly visible next to any cooking ap-

pliance.

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF

TIPPING OF THE

APPLIANCE, IT MUST BE

SECURED BY A PROPERLY

INSTALLED ANTI-TIP

DEVICE. TO CHECK IF THE

DEVICE IS INSTALLED

PROPERLY, REMOVE THE

STORAGE DRAWER/KICK

PANEL BELOW THE OVEN

DOOR AND VERIFY THAT

THE ANTI-TIP DEVICE IS

ENGAGED PER

INSTALLATION

INSTRUCTIONS.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read all instructions before using this appliance.

SAFETY FOR THE COOKTOP

• Do not touch the cooktop or the area imme-

diately surrounding it.Areas near the cooktop

may become hot enough to cause burns.

• Do not cook on a broken cooktop. If the

cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and

spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop

and create a risk of electric shock. Contact an

authorized servicer immediately.

• Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet

sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a

hot cooking area, be careful to avoid steam

burns. Some cleaners can produce noxious

fumes if applied to a hot surface.

• Use the proper pan size. This appliance is

equipped with elements of different sizes. Se-

lect utensils having flat bottoms large enough

to cover the surface unit heating element. The

use of a utensil smaller than the size of the

element will expose a portion of the element

to direct contact with the user which could

result in burns. Proper relationship of utensil

to element will also improve cooking effi-

ciency.

• Never leave the cooktop unattended at high

heat settings. Boilover causes smoking and

greasy spillovers that may catch fire.

• Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of

the cooktop or oven. Improper use of these

liners could result in an electric shock or fire.

Foil is an excellent heat insulator and heat

will be trapped beneath it. This will upset

the cooking performance and can damage

the finish.

• Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic,

ceramic, earthenware or other glazed uten-

sils are suitable for cooktop service without

breaking due to the sudden change in tem-

perature.

• To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flam-

mable materials, and spillage due to the un-

intentional contact with the utensil, the

handle of a utensil should be positioned in-

ward. Make sure the handle does not extend

over adjacent work areas, cooking areas or

the edge of the cooktop.

• Flat cookware will provide better stability

on the cooktop and ensure the best perfor-

mance.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read all instructions before using this appliance.

SAFETY FOR THE OVEN

• Do not touch heating elements or interior

surfaces of oven. Interior surfaces of an oven

become hot enough to cause burns.

• The trim on the top and sides of the oven door

of the range may become hot enough to cause

burns.

• Use care when opening the door. Let hot air

or steam escape before removing or replac-

ing food.

• Do not heat unopened food containers.

Buildup of pressure may cause the container

to burst and result in injury.

• Do not block the oven vent ducts (located

along the top of the backsplash, back trim, or

cooktop).

• Always place oven racks in desired location

while oven is cool. If a rack must be moved

while oven is hot, do not let potholder con-

tact the hot heating elements

• If F-1 or F-3 flashes in the display, follow in-

structions in “Solving Operational Problems.”

SAFETY FOR THE SELF-CLEANING OVEN

• Do not clean the door gasket. It is essential

for a good seal. Care should be taken not to

rub, damage, move or remove the door gas-

ket.

• Do not use commercial oven cleaners or oven

liner protective coatings of any kind in or

around any part of the oven.

• Clean only the parts of the oven listed in this

manual.

• Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the

broiler pan, oven racks, other utensils and

excess spillage.

• Do not leave food or cooking utensils etc., in

oven during the self-cleaning mode of opera-

tion.

SAFETY FOR THE VENTILATING HOOD

• Clean the hood above the range or the intake

at the back of the range frequently. Grease

should not be allowed to accumulate on the

hood/intake or the filters.

• When flaming foods, turn the hood/intake

fan ON.

WARNING: Do not store items of interest

to children in cabinets above the range or

at the back of it. Children climbing on the

range to reach items could be seriously in-

jured.

208 VOLT CONNECTIONS

When using this oven on 120/208 volts, preheating times will

be longer. The oven is preheated when the temperature

display reaches the selected temperature.

When using Broil it is recommended to preheat. Preheat the

broil element with the door open to the Broil Stop for 4 to 5

minutes or until the top element is red. Do not preheat with

the broil pan in the oven.

When using the cooktop, use the same recommended heat

settings, but allow a little extra time to finish cooking the

food.

If the information in this manual is not followed exactly, a

fire or explosion may result causing property damage, per-

sonal injury or death.

(Installation and service must be performed by a qualified

installer and an authorized servicer).
