A Special Message to Our Customers,

Thank you for selecting a Thermador Gas Cooktop. If you follow the few simple procedures and suggestions in this manual, the cooktop should give you years of service.

You have either a steel top or a glass top. The glass cooktop fully meets the safety and durability requirements of the American Gas Association, the Canadian Gas Association and the Tempered Glass Association as well as the stringent test requirements imposed by Thermador. Testing includes dropping a 1.2 pound steel ball from about 2 feet and hitting the glass with a 4 pound "pan bottom" 10 times. The cooktop is tough, but it is glass. Severe abuse or excessively rough treatment may break the glass. Tempered glass derives its excellent strength and heat resistance from powerful internal tensions throughout the piece. When any part of the glass is broken, these tensions are released throughout the piece. In this unlikely event, the entire glass will break into many small, blunt pieces called popcorn (the average count is 20 pieces per square inch). The pieces may scatter somewhat and since most particles are transparent, food on or near the cooktop should not be eaten. The cooktop should not be used again until it is repaired by a qualified service technician. Remember, the steel top is covered with porcelain enamel, which is also a very durable glass. Severe abuse or excessively rough treatment may cause the porcelain enamel to chip.

There is no limit to the types of food which can be cooked on your cooktop, but some utensils could harm it. Do not use any utensil which spans two burners because this will excessively heat the space between them. Utensils which have large overhangs beyond the burner grate may cause over heating or tipping, if used for long periods of time. Of course, hard impact should be avoided.

We recommend that you read this entire manual before using your new cooktop. We know you will enjoy cooking on your new cooktop. Please contact us if you have questions or comments. When you write, please include the model and serial numbers of your cooktop.

Sincerely,

The Home Economics Staff
