SAFETY PRACTICES TO AVOID
PERSONAL INJURY
Section One: General Safety Instructions
PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: When properly
cared for, your new Thermador
Oven has been designed to be a
safe, reliable appliance. Read all
instructions carefully before
using this oven. These precau-
tions will reduce the risk of burns,
electric shock, fire, or injury to
person. When using kitchen appli-
ances, basic safety precautions must
be followed, including the follow-
ing:
Begin by insuring proper in-
stallation. Follow the installation
instructions
provided with this product. Have
the oven installed and grounded by
a qualified
technician.
Do not repair or replace any
part of the appliance unless spe-
cifically recommended in this
manual. All other servicing should
be performed by a qualified techni-
cian.
Children should not be left
alone or unattended in an area
where appliances are in use.
They should never be allowed to
sit or stand on any part of the
appliance.
CAUTION: Do not store
items of interest to children
above the oven. If children
should climb onto the appliance to
reach these items, they could be
seriously injured.
Do not hang articles from any
part of the appliance or place
anything against the oven.
Some fabrics are quite flammable
and may catch on fire.
Do not store flammable ma-
terials in the oven.
Do not use water on grease
fires. Turn appliance off and
smother fire with baking soda or
use a dry chemical or foam-type
extinguisher.
Never let clothing, potholders,
or other flammable materials
come in contact with any ele-
ment until it has cooled.
Use only dry potholders: moist
or damp potholders on hot sur-
faces may cause burns from steam.
Do not use a towel or other bulky
cloth in place of potholders. Do
not let potholders touch hot ele-
ments.
For personal safety, wear
proper apparel. Loose fitting
garments or hanging sleeves should
never be worn while using any
appliance.
Do not use aluminum foil to
line any part of the oven. Im-
proper use of a foil liner could
result in a shock or fire hazard.
Foil is an excellent heat insulator
and heat will be trapped beneath it.
This will upset the cooking perfor-
mance and can damage the finish of
the oven.
Warning: The appliance is for
cooking. Based on safety consid-
erations, never use the oven to
warm or heat a room. Also, such
use can damage the oven parts.
Do not heat unopened food
containers; a buildup of pressure
may cause the container to burst.
When using the oven: DO NOT
TOUCH THE HEATING EL-
EMENTS, THE INTERIOR
SURFACES OF THE OVEN
or THE EXTERIOR AREA IM-
MEDIATELY SURROUND-
ING THE DOOR. Even though
dark in color, the heating elements
may be hot. Interior oven surfaces
become hot enough to cause burns.
The heat deflector/s, which deflect
heat away from the Control Panel
and Upper Oven Door, and the
trim on the top and sides of the
oven door/s will also be hot when
the oven is in use.
Place oven racks in desired
position while oven is cool. If a
rack must be moved while the
oven is hot, do not let the
potholders contact the hot heat-
ing elements.
Use care when opening the
oven door; let hot air or steam
escape before removing or replac-
ing foods.
Before self-cleaning the oven,
remove the broiler pan, any other
utensils, and excess spillage.
Protect the self-cleaning fea-
ture. Clean only those parts indi-
cated in this booklet. Do not use
commercial oven cleaners or oven
liner protective coatings of any
kind in or around the oven.
Exhaust Vent Openings - These
openings (located at the bottom of
the oven) must not be blocked.
