THERMADOR PRO GRAND PRD486WDGC (01) PDF Document

To prevent burns, never remove or reposition the oven racks while the oven is ON or while the oven is cooling. Always remove the oven racks before self-cleaning the oven. If the gliding racks remain in the oven during self-clean, lubricants in the glide mechanisms of each rack will be lost and the finish will discolor.

Installing rack guides:

1. Push the two rails in the holes in the back of the oven cavity.

2. Slide the guide’s key slots over the shoulder bolts.

3. At the front of the oven cavity press down on the front of the rack guide to clear the heads of the two shoulder bolts.

Installing Full Access® racks:

1. Hold the rack on a slight angle and place the safety hooks under the front of the rack guides.

2. Push the rack into the oven, lifting the rack stops over the front of the rack guides.

3. Hold the rack straight.

4. Push the rack in completely.

5. Engage the rack’s front hooks on the rack guides.

Installing flat racks:

1. Grasp rack firmly on both sides and insert rack.

2. Tilt rack up to allow stop into rack guide.

Before baking or broiling with your THERMADOR PRO GRAND PRD486WDGC, the oven and broiler should be turned on to burn off the manufacturing oils using one of the two following methods:

Method 1:

1. Turn on kitchen ventilation (or if the vent hood is a recirculation type, open a window).

2. Turn the oven on to 450°F (230°C) for 20 to 30 minutes; then turn the broiler to broil for the same length of time.

Method 2 (or):

1. Turn on kitchen ventilation (or if the vent hood is a recirculation type, open a window).

2. Remove oven racks.

3. Set oven to self-clean (for select models).

To prevent flare-ups and burns, do not use the rangetop without all burner caps and grates properly positioned. Do not touch burner caps or grates while hot. The burner caps must be properly placed on the burner bases for the cooktop to function correctly. If a burner cap is not properly placed, one or more of the following problems may occur:

• Burner flames are too high

• Flames shoot out of burners

• Burners do not ignite

• Burner flames light unevenly

• Burner emits gas odor

Placing the burner caps:

Each cap has a letter (B, D, or F) cast in its underside that corresponds to a letter cast in the burner base.

1. Place each burner cap on its correct burner base per its corresponding letter designation.

2. Place the burner cap gently on top of the base so that the prongs of the burner base fit snugly into the groove of the burner cap.

Checking the burner cap placement:

• Check each burner to make sure there is no gap between the burner cap and burner base.

• You may gently try to move the burner caps from side to side to check if the caps are properly placed on the burner bases.

• When properly placed, each burner cap will rest flat on top of its burner base and completely cover the star-shape of the burner base when viewed from the top.

1. Place grates flat-side down and align into the rangetop recess.

2. Grates should rest flush against each other and against the sides of the recess.

Important:

• For proper combustion, do not use the rangetop without the burner grates in place.

• There is a slight sound associated with gas combustion and ignition. This is a normal condition.

Turning on the burners:

Do not touch the burners when the igniters are sparking.

1. Press in on the knob and turn it counter-clockwise to HI.

2. Rotate the knob to any flame setting between HI and LO.

Operating the ExtraLow® burners:

The control knob has an additional range after the XLO setting. When the knob is set within this range, the flame cycles off and on.

• XLO, the very lowest setting, is achieved by cycling the flame on for approximately 10 seconds and off for 50 seconds of each minute.

• When the knob is set just below the XLO setting, the flame will cycle on for approximately 50 seconds and off for 10 seconds of each minute.

• To vary the amount of low heat to suit the food and quantity, the control can be set anywhere within the XLO range marked on the knob.

Operating the POWERBOOST®:

The POWERBOOST, or XHI, offers the convenience to quickly boil water, sear steaks, stir-fry vegetables, etc. Use of the LO and XLO remains the same as the other XLO knobs.

To avoid risk of injury, never operate the griddle without the griddle plate installed.

Preparing the griddle:

1. Check the griddle plate adjustment by pouring two tablespoons of water on the back of the griddle plate.

2. If water does not flow to the front of the griddle, move the griddle plate to the side.

3. Adjust the two screws under the back of the plate. Start with one half turn counterclockwise of the screws.

4. Further adjustment should be made by one-quarter turn until water slowly flows into the grease tray.

IMPORTANT:

• NEVER flood a hot griddle plate with cold water. This can damage the griddle plate.

• DO NOT clean the griddle plate in a self-cleaning oven.

• DO NOT heat cookware on the griddle surface.

• Care should be taken to avoid scratching or gouging the surface.

• The griddle plate is dishwasher safe, however, hand washing the griddle plate is recommended.

Main oven one rack baking:

Main oven two rack baking:

Secondary oven (48″ models):

Main oven three rack baking: If three-rack baking is desired, the convection bake or true convection modes are best.

Close the oven door while broiling and monitor the food closely. Food placed close to the broil element may cause smoking, splattering, and the possibility of fats igniting. Use caution when broiling on upper rack positions. Broiling above rack position 4 is not recommended in the Pro series gas ranges.

Dual fuel main oven broil rack recommendations:

Gas main oven broil rack recommendations:

• To convert most recipes for baked items (cookies, cakes, pies, etc.); reduce the oven temperature by 25°F (14 °C).

• For meats and poultry, the temperature should not be reduced.

• Low, shallow bakeware should be used with convection cooking.

• When baking on more than one rack, cookie sheets should not be staggered; round cake pans should be staggered.

• For small items such as cookies, check to see if they are done one to two minutes before the recipe time. For larger baked items such as cakes, check five to six minutes before the time indicated on the recipe.

• Large meat or poultry items may cook up to 30 minutes less than the suggested time so check them so they will not be over baked.

Convection bake dehydration recommendations:

True convection recommendations:

Proof recommendations:

Roasting recommendations:

About self-clean:

• The self-cleaning mode features pyrolytic self-cleaning. When set to self-clean, the oven reaches approximately 850°F (454°C) to burn off food soil.

• It is common to see smoke and/or flames during the clean cycle. If a flame persists, turn off the oven and allow it to cool before opening the door to wipe up the excessive food soil.

• At the end of the clean cycle, some gray ash or burned residue may remain. This is a mineral deposit that is easily removed using a damp paper towel, sponge, or cloth when the oven is cold.

• To reduce flare-ups and excess smoke, wipe out puddles of grease and any loose soil that can be easily removed before starting.

Before setting the oven to self-clean:

• Remove all utensils.

• Remove racks and rack guides.

• Clean the oven front frame and outer door edges.
