DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion or ventilation air. For safety reasons and to avoid damage to the range, NEVER sit, stand, or lean on the oven doors. Service should only be done by authorized technicians. Technicians must disconnect the power supply before servicing this unit. Listen to be sure the cooling blower runs whenever the oven controls are set to BROIL or BAKE modes, after ovens heat to 300°F (150°C) - see "Automatic operation of the cooling blower" on page 41. If the fans do not operate, DO NOT use the ovens. Call an authorized service center for service. To avoid a fire hazard, grease accumulation must be prevented by frequently cleaning the ventilation hood and filters. In case of fire or when intentionally "flaming" liquor or other spirits on the range's cooktop, follow manufacturer's instructions. Use caution when cooking foods with high alcohol content (e.g. rum, brandy, bourbon) in the ovens. Alcohol evaporates at high temperatures. There is a risk of burning as the alcohol vapors may catch fire in the ovens. Use only small quantities of alcohol in foods, and open the oven doors carefully. WARNING: To avoid possible burn or fire hazard, a back guard designed specifically for this range must be installed whenever the range is used. IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE: The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances. The burning of gas cooking fuel can generate some byproducts which are on the list. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by: 1. Providing good ventilation when cooking with gas. 2. Providing good ventilation during and immediately after self cleaning the oven. 3. Operating the unit according to the instructions in this manual. DO NOT store or use corrosive chemicals, vapors, flammables or nonfood products in or near this appliance. It English 8 is specifically designed for use when heating or cooking food. The use of corrosive chemicals while heating or cleaning will damage the appliance and could result in injury. Steam Oven Safety Practices Baking and Steaming Safety CAUTION: Hot steam can escape during use. DO NOT touch the ventilation openings. CAUTION: Hot steam can escape when opening the oven door. Hot water may drip from the door. Keep children away. CAUTION: Use pot holders to remove inserted cooking accessories from the hot oven. Hot liquid may spill over when removing the cooking accessories. The steam oven bottom and the evaporator dish must always remain clear. Always place ovenware on the rack or in the perforated cooking pan. Ovenware must be heat and steam resistant. Silicone baking pans are not suitable for STEAM/CONVEC mode. When using STEAM mode with a perforated cooking pan, always slide the baking pan underneath it. The pan will catch any drippings. DO NOT store moist foods for an extended period of time in the closed steam oven. The food could cause corrosion of the oven interior. DO NOT overfill very juicy fruit tortes with fruit when using the baking pan. The fruit juice that drips off the baking pan leaves behind stains that cannot be removed. When using aluminum foil in the steam oven, DO NOT allow it to touch the glass on the door. This could cause permanent staining of the door glass. DO NOT place anything on the open appliance door. This could damage the appliance. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by THERMADOR® may cause injuries.
