the accident potential. When using  
kitchen appliances, basic safety  
precautions must be followed,  
including the following:  
Use only dry potholders: moist  
or damp potholders on hot surfaces  
may cause burns from steam. Do  
not use a towel or other bulky cloth  
in place of potholders. Do not let  
potholders touch hot elements, hot  
burners, or burner grates.  
Do not repair or replace any  
part of the appliance unless  
specifically recommended in this  
manual. Allotherservicingshouldbe  
referred to a qualified technician.  
Childrenshouldnotbeleftalone  
or unattended in an area where  
appliancesareinuse. Theyshould  
never be allowed to sit or stand on  
any part of the appliance.  
Forpersonalsafety,wearproper  
apparel. Loose fitting garments or  
hangingsleevesshouldneverbeworn  
while using this appliance. Some  
syntheticfabricsarehighlyflammable  
and should not be worn while  
cooking.  
CAUTION: Do not store items  
of interest to children above the  
range or at the back of it. If  
children should climb onto the  
appliance to reach these items, they  
could be seriously injured.  
Read this Care and Use Manual  
carefully before using your new  
range to reduce the risk of fire,  
electrical shock,orinjurytopersons.  
Do not use aluminum foil to line  
anypartoftheovenorcooktop.  
Use of a foil liner could result in a  
shock or fire hazard, or the  
obstructionoftheflowofcombustion  
andventilationair. Foilisanexcellent

performance and can damage the  
finish of the oven or the cooktop.  
Insure proper installation and  
servicing. Follow the installation  
instructions provided with this  
product. Have the range installed  
andgroundedbyaqualifiedtechnician.  
Never use any part of the  
cooktop or oven for storage.  
Flammable materials can catch  
fire and plastic items may melt  
or ignite.  
Have the installer show you  
where the gas supply shut-off  
valve is located so that you know  
how and where to turn off the gas to  
the range.  
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.  
WARNING  
If you smell gas, your installer has  
notdoneaproperjobofcheckingfor  
leaks. If the connections are not  
perfectly tight, you can have a small  
leak and therefore a faint gas smell.  
Finding a gas leak is not a “do-it-

like those from forced air vents  
or fans do not blow flammable  
material toward the flames or  
push the flames so that they  
extend beyond the edges of the  
pot.  
Warning: The appliance is for  
cooking. Based on safety  
considerations, never use the oven  
orcooktoptowarmorheataroom.  
Also, such use can damage the  
cooktop or oven parts.  
WARNING  
After a spill or boil over, turn off  
the burner and clean around the  
burner and burner port. After  
cleaning, check for proper  
operation.

SURROUNDING AREA. Areas  
adjacenttotheburnersmaybecome  
hot enough to cause burns.  
Never leave the cooktop  
unattended when using high flame  
settings. Boil overs cause smoking  
and greasy spillovers that may ignite.  
More importantly, if the burner  
flames are smothered, unburned gas  
willescapeintotheroom. SeeInside  
Front Cover regarding gas leaks.  
To minimize burns, ignition of  
flammablematerialsandunintentional  
spillovers, position handles of  
utensils inward so they do not  
extend over adjacent work areas,  
cooking areas, or the edge of the  
cooktop.  
Be sure all cooktop controls are  
turned off and the cooktop is cool  
before using any type of aerosol  
cleaner on or around the cooktop.  
The chemical that produces the  
sprayingactioncould,inthepresence  
of heat, ignite or cause metal parts to  
corrode.  
Hold the handle of the pan to  
prevent movement of the utensil  
when stirring or turning food.

SURROUNDING THE DOOR.  
Interior oven surfaces become hot  
enough to cause burns. The heat  
deflector, which deflects heat away  
from the cooktop and the trim on  
the top and sides of the oven door,  
will also be hot when the oven is in  
use.  
Onlycertaintypesofglass,heat-  
proof glass-ceramic, ceramic,  
earthenware, or other glazed  
utensilsaresuitableforcooktop  
use. This type of utensil may break  
with sudden temperature changes.  
Use only on low or medium heat  
settings according to the utensil  
manufacturer’s directions.  
DO NOT use pots or pans on the  
grill section.  
Do not use the grill for cooking  
excessively fatty meats or  
products which promote flare-  
ups.  
The optional cutting board  
accessory must be removed  
before operating the griddle beneath  
or burners adjacent to it.  
Do not heat unopened food  
containers; a buildup of pressure  
may cause the container to burst.  
GREASE IS FLAMMABLE. Let  
hot grease cool before attempting to  
handle it. Avoid letting grease  
deposits collect. Clean after each  
use.  
During cooking, set the burner  
control so that the flame heats  
only the bottom of the pan and  
does not extend beyond the  
bottom of the pan.  
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 infrared burner.  
For proper lighting and performance  
of the burners, keep the igniter  
ports clean. It is necessary to clean  
these when there is a boil over or  
when the burner does not light even  
though the electronic igniters click.

Indicator  
Location  
The controls for the two left burners,  
front and rear, have flame settings  
even lower than the standard LO  
settings.  
Sealed Star™ Burner Base  
The cooktop features four or six gas  
surface burners; each rated at 15,000  
BTU/HR.The burners are sealed to  
the stainless steel top frame to  
prevent liquid spills from  
accumulating below the top surface,  
making it easier to clean.  
On all models, the two left burners  
have the exclusive ExtraLow‚ feature;  
the remaining burners are standard.  
Each burner has its own control  
knob.

Range  
ExtraLow® Burner  
Control Knob  
The drawing shows that the control  
knob has an additional range between  
the LO and XLO settings.When the  
knob is set within this range, the  
flame pulses off and on. By varying  
the length of time the flame is off and  
on, the heat is reduced even further  
to cook delicate foods.For example,  
these very low settings are suitable  
for simmering and poaching, melting  
chocolate and butter,holding cooked  
foods at temperatures without  
scorching or burning, etc.  
OPERATION OFTHE  
BURNERS  
• Press in on the knob and turn it  
counter-clockwise to the HI  
setting.  
• The igniter for the selected sealed  
burner clicks and sparks.  
• After flame ignition, the igniters  
stop clicking.  
• Rotate the knob to any flame  
setting between HI and LO.  
• The Blue Burner Signal Light,  
between the burners, will light  
when adjacent burners are lit.They  
will remain on until the burner is  
turned off.

bring food to a rolling boil. Stir  
well,then cover the pan and lower  
the heat to a setting just below  
LO.  
Burner  
• Check periodically to see if the  
control knob should be turned to  
another setting.  
Base  
• When the knob is set just below  
the LO setting, the flame will cycle  
ON for approximately 52 seconds  
and OFF for 8 seconds of each  
minute.  
• If an over-size pan is used, the  
simmer action may occur mainly  
in the center of the pan. To  
equalize the temperature  
throughout the food,stir the food  
around the outer edges of the pan  
into the food in the center.  
To vary the amount of low heat  
to suit the food and quantity, the  
control can be set anywhere  
within the LO and XLO range  
marked on the knob.  
• It is normal to stir food  
occasionally while simmering.This  
is especially important when  
simmering for several hours,such  
as for a homemade spaghetti sauce  
or beans.  
Bu
Ca
Star™ Burner  
Components  
Each burner has its own electronic  
igniter that sparks when the burner  
is turned on. Each burner should light  
in 4 seconds or less. If a burner does  
not light,check to see that the cap is  
positioned correctly on the base.Do  
not touch the burners when the  
igniters are sparking. If a burner  
fails to ignite,refer to the section on  
Page 43, “Before Calling for Service.”  
• When lowering the flame setting,  
adjust it in small steps.  
• If the setting is too low to hold a  
simmer, bring the food back to a  
boil before re-setting to a higher  
heat.

designations, shown in the  
drawing, are for reference only.  
They do not actually appear  
on the knob. The number  
indicates the position of the flame  
setting as represented on the  
cooking chart, pages 17 and 18,  
with #4 being hotter than #1.  
• There may be bubbling when the  
flame cycles ON and no bubbles  
when the flame is OFF.Even when  
the flame is OFF, there will be  
steam and a slight quiver on the  
liquid’s surface.  
ExtraLowTechniques  
• The type and quantity of food  
affects which setting to use.  
• The pan selected affects the  
setting. Its size, type, material,and  
whether a lid is used,all affect the  
consistency of the cooking  
temperature.

AUTOMATIC RE-IGNITION  
POWER FAILURE  
FLAME HEIGHT  
• In the event of a power failure,  
only the standard burners and  
grill can be manually lit. It is  
necessary to light each one  
individually.  
• The correct flame height depends  
on 1) size and material of pan  
being used;2) food being cooked;  
and 3) amount of liquid in the pan.  
If any one or more burners or grill  
blow out, the electronic igniter  
automatically sparks to re-light the  
flame. Do not touch the burners  
when the igniters are sparking.  
• Never extend the flame beyond  
the base of the pan.  
• If the cooktop is being used when  
the power failure occurs, turn all  
knobs to the OFF position.  
IMPORTANT:  
• Use a low or medium flame for  
pan materials that conduct the  
heat slowly, such as porcelain  
coated steel or glass-ceramic.  
• For proper combustion do not use  
the cooktop without the burner  
grates in place.  
• The standard burners and grill can  
be lighted by holding a match at  
the ports and turning the control  
knob to the HI position.Wait until  
the flame is burning all around the  
burner cap or U-shaped burner  
before adjusting the flame to the  
desired height.  
• There is a slight sound associated  
with gas combustion and ignition.  
This is a normal condition.  
FLAME DESCRIPTION  
• On cooktops using propane gas  
(LP), a slight “pop” sound may be  
heard at the burner ports a few  
seconds after the burner has been  
turned off.  
Dark Blue  
S e c o n d a r y  
Cone  
• Neither ExtraLow burner can be  
used during a power failure. Be  
sure to turn them off.  
Light Blue  
• If either ExtraLow burner is on  
when a power failure occurs,they  
cannot be turned back on until  
both knobs are first turned off.  
Primary  
Cone  
• The griddle cannot be used during  
a power failure.  
• If you smell gas, refer to safety  
precautions listed inside the front  
cover.  
Flame Color  
• The burner flame color should be  
blue with no yellow on the tips.It  
is not uncommon to see orange  
in the flame color; this indicates  
the burning of airborne impurities  
in the gas and will disappear with  
use.  
WARNING  
In the event of a power failure,  
all knobs are to be turned to the  
OFF Position. Only the standard  
burners and the grill can be lit  
manually.  
• With propane (LP) gas, slight  
yellow tips on the primary cone  
are normal.  
• The flame should burn completely  
around the burner cap.If it doesn’t,  
check that the cap is positioned  
correctly on the base and that the  
ports are not blocked.  
• The flame should be stable with  
no excessive noise or fluttering.

SECTION FOUR: USING THE COOKTOP  
COOKWARE RECOMMENDATIONS  
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:  
Food packaged in aluminum foil should not  
be placed directly on the burner grate.  
Aluminum foil can melt during cooking.  
Do not let plastic, paper or cloth come in  
contact with a hot burner grate.They may  
melt or catch fire.  
(51 mm)  
Never let a pan boil dry. This can damage  
your pan and the cooking surface.  
BASE DIAMETER  
• Select the base diameter to match the diameter of the  
flame.The diameter of the flame should be the same  
size as the pan base or slightly smaller. Oversize or  
under size pans sacrifice cooking performance.  
A 5-1/2" (140 mm) base size is generally the smallest  
recommended.  
• For best cooking results,use professional quality pans  
with metal handles.(Plastic handles can melt or blister,  
if the flame extends up the side of the pan.) Professional  
quality pans are found at restaurant supply stores and  
gourmet specialty shops. All cookware should have  
these characteristics: good heat conductivity, good  
balance,correctly sized base diameter,a heavy,flat base,  
and a proper fitting lid.  
• Aluminum and copper are pan materials that conduct  
the heat quickly and evenly.These metals are sometimes  
attached to the base or in the core between stainless  
steel.  
FLAT BASE PAN  
• A heavy, flat base is more apt to remain flat when  
heated. Pan bases that are warped, dented, ridged or  
too lightweight will heat unevenly. Heat and cool pans  
gradually to avoid sudden temperature changes which  
tend to distort cookware.Do not add cold water to a  
hot pan.  
BALANCED PAN  
• Balance is important for stability and even cooking.  
The handle must not be heavier than the pan and tilt it  
unevenly. A pan must sit level on the grate without  
rocking or wobbling.  
COVERED PAN  
• A properly fitting lid will shorten cooking time and  
make it possible to use lower heat settings.  
Page 15  
SECTION FOUR: USING THE COOKTOP  
SPECIALTY COOKWARE  
CANNINGTIPS:  
• A flat base pan is preferred to one with a concave,  
convex or rippled base.  
• When using two canners at the same time, use  
staggered burners. Do not block air to the burners.A  
flame needs the right amount of air for complete  
combustion.  
FLAT-BOTTOM WOK PAN  
• Use a cover on a canner when bringing the contents  
to a boil.  
• Once the contents have reached a boil on HI, use the  
lowest flame possible to maintain the boil or pressure.  
• Canning produces a large amount of steam. Take  
precautions to prevent burns.

COOKING CHART  
SUGGESTIONS FOR USINGTHE CHART  
Use the chart on Pages 17 and 18 as a guide.The settings  
you use will vary depending on the pans selected and the  
starting temperature of the food.  
Woks – Either flat based or round bottom woks with  
the accessory ring can be used on models without a  
built-in wok burner.Round bottom woks must be used  
with a support ring. Place the “F” on the accessory  
ring facing to the front.  
On the chart,theFinish Setting” has been separated for  
the standard and ExtraLow burners.There may or may  
not be a change between the two burner settings.  
Canners and Stock Pots – Select one with a base  
diameter that extends no more than 2 inches (51mm)  
beyond the grate.  
The ExtraLow setting can be either a cooking or a holding  
setting.

SECTION FOUR: USING THE COOKTOP  
Using the Grill  
A VENTILATING HOOD of adequate cubic-feet-per-minute capacity vented to the outside of the house is  
recommended for installation ABOVE THE RANGE AND GRILL. For most kitchens with a wall mounted  
hood, a certified hood is recommended. The hood must be installed according to installation instructions  
furnished with the hood and local building code requirements.  
THE GRILL  
(Available on some models)  
AUTOMATIC  
REIGNITION  
GRILL  
The electronic igniter auto-  
matically sparks the burner to  
light. DO NOT TOUCH any  
burner while the igniters are  
sparking.  
When cooking food on the grill you  
will achieve the same flavor as meat  
cooked on an outdoor barbecue.  
This flavor is actually created by the  
fatsandjuicesthatarebroughttothe  
surface of the food and caramelized  
by the intense heatfromthestainless  
steel radiant.  
BURNER EFFICIENCY  
AND FLAME  
CHARACTERISTICS  
Control Knob  
Most types of foods, steaks, chops,  
patties, poultry pieces, etc., cook  
somewhat faster on the gas grill with  
its constant regulated heat than on  
an ordinary charcoal grill.  
CONTROL KNOB  
The burner control has an infinite  
number of heat settings, and there  
are no fixed positions on the control  
knob between HI and LO. To turn  
the burner on, press the control  
knob and rotate it counterclockwise  
to the LITE position.  
The burner flame should be blue in  
color and stable with no yellow tips,  
excessive noise or lifting. It should  
burn completely along both sides of  
the burner tube.  
Your new Thermador Professional®  
grill is equipped with an aluminized  
steelU-shapedtubeburnertypicalof  
thoseusedinrestaurants.Automatic  
ignition is used to eliminate the  
continuouspilotsfoundonrestaurant  
grills. The grill burner is rated at  
18,000 BTU/HR.  
An improper gas-air mixture may  
cause either a yellow tipped flame or  
burner flutter. Have the flame  
adjusted by a technician. Foreign  
particles in the gas line may cause an  
orange flame during initial use. This  
will disappear with use.  
Adjust the knob to the desired heat  
setting.  
If the flame is uneven, flutters, makes  
excessive noise or lifts, check to see  
if the BURNER ports are clogged. If  
the ports are clogged, use a wire, a  
straightened paper clip or needle to  
clear the ports. If the condition  
persists, contact a service agency for  
adjustment.  
NOTE: When used with pro-  
pane gas, a slight pop or flash  
may occur at the burner ports  
a few seconds after the burner  
has been turned off. This usu-  
ally occurs after the burner has  
been on awhile. This is normal.

SECTION FOUR: USING THE COOKTOP  
Disassembly/Assembly of the Grill  
Follow the steps below to disassemble the compo-  
nents in the grill box.  
CAUTION:  
A. Remove the grill grate, stainless steel radiant and  
burner from the grill box.  
Use extreme care when placing the grill  
components into the grill compartment.  
Avoid contacting the ceramic igniter which  
could break preventing operation of the  
grill.  
B. Remove the rectangular drip pan inside the grill box  
as shown below.  
C. Install the heat deflector into slots of front panel of  
grill box.  
The grill must be assembled as shown. The  
drip tray heat shields must be in place, and  
the burner must be properly positioned  
relativetothegassupply. Incorrectassembly  
ofthegrillmayresultinunsafeorhazardous  
conditions during operation.  
D. Insert the end of the burner into the slots at the  
back of the grill box. Insert the tab on front of the  
burner into slot in the heat deflector.  
E. The stainless steel radiant lies on two (2) studs on  
each end of the grill can.  
Do not leave the grill unattended while in  
use.  
F. Place the grill grate, with raised food containment  
rail oriented towards the grill box rear.  
Do not use charcoal briquettes or coals of  
any kind.

GRILLING SUGGESTIONS  
COOKING ONTHE GRILL  
Trim any excess fat from the meat before cooking. Cut slits in

approximately 5 seconds.  
the remaining fat around the edges at 2" (51 mm) intervals.  
Brush on basting sauce toward the end of cooking.  
• Preheat grill for 10 to 15 minutes  
minimum. The hot grill sears the  
food, sealing in the juices. The  
longer the preheat,the faster the  
meat browns and the darker the  
grill marks.  
Use a spatula or tongs instead of a fork to turn the meat. A fork  
punctures the meat and lets the juices run out.  
Add seasoning or salt after grilling.  
• Grilling requires high heat for  
searing and proper browning.  
Most foods are cooked at the  
higher heat settings for most of  
the cooking time.However,when  
grilling large pieces of meat or  
poultry, it may be necessary to  
turn the heat to a lower setting  
after the initial browning. This  
cooks the food through without  
burning the outside.  
The grill grate has side and rear rails designed to make it easier  
to turn with a spatula.  
After the juices begin to bubble to the surface, turn the meat  
only once.This helps keep the juices in the meat.  
Some pieces of meat and poultry cook faster than others.Move  
those pieces to the cooler area of the grill until the rest have  
finished.  
The doneness of meat is affected by the thickness of the cut.  
• Foods cooked for a long time or  
basted with a sugary marinade  
many need a lower heat setting  
near the end of the cooking time.  
Chefs say it is impossible to have a rare doneness with a thin cut.  
Do not leave the grill unattended while cooking.  
• After grilling and the food has  
been removed, turn the knob to  
HI and burn off any excess grease  
which has accumulated on the  
stainless steel radiant.  
HANDLING EXCESSIVE FLARE-UPS  
The intense heat needed for grilling may also cause flare-ups due  
to grease dripping on the stainless steel radiant.  
• Use a brass wire brush,dipped in  
hot water,to loosen food particles  
from the grate.  
If flare-ups occur,use a long handled spatula to move the food to  
another area of the grill.  
Should flare-ups become excessive, remove the food from the

grill and turn off the burner.  
Excessive flames occur when cooking meat with extra fat, i.e.  
30% ground beef, untrimmed steaks, lamb chops, etc.  
Be cautious when turning meat over.  
It is important that grilling be supervised at all times.

SECTION FOUR: USING THE COOKTOP  
ABOUTTHE GRIDDLE  
(Available on some models)  
The griddle plate should be washed with warm soapy  
water then rinsed with clear water prior to use. The  
griddle may be used without any butter,margarine or oil.  
However,a very small amount may be used to flavor foods.  
Any utensil, including metal ones may be used on the  
griddle surface. Care should be taken so the surface is  
not gouged when metal utensils are used.  
DESCRIPTION  
The built in griddle is made of restaurant quality aluminum  
coated with titanium.This produces a surface with even  
heat that is easy to clean.  
The griddle has an aluminized steel tube burner that is lit  
by a spark igniter.The griddle should light within 4 clicks  
of the igniter.This eliminates the need for a continuous  
burning pilot lighter.  
lide back and lift  
A maple chopping block is available as an accessory and  
purchased separately.It is sized to fit on top of the surface  
when the griddle is not being used.  
•The burner is rated at 15,000 BTU / HR.  
CONTROL KNOB  
GRIDDLE  
Griddle GreaseTray  
GRIDDLE GREASETRAY  
• Push the tray under the front edge of the griddle  
overhang to catch grease or food residue.  
• Use a metal spatula to scrape the grease and food  
particles forward from the surface into the tray.  
• Clean the tray after every use. When removing the  
tray, use care when tipping it so that the contents do  
not spill.  
Cooking on the Griddle  
Control Knob  
1. Check that the grease tray is tucked under the griddle  
plate overhang.  
2. Turn the knob to the cooking temperature to preheat  
the griddle.  
• The griddle is electronically controlled with  
temperatures marked on the knob from 150ºF to  
500ºF.  
3. Preheat 10 to 15 minutes.  
• There are no fixed settings on the knob.  
4. Add butter,margarine,oil or shortening for more flavor.  
5. Add the food and cook.  
• Press and turn the knob counter-clockwise to the  
temperature setting.  
PREPARINGTHE GRIDDLE  
The griddle must be level or tilted slightly forward for  
optimum performance. The griddle should have been  
leveled during installation.If not,the griddle can be leveled  
by removing the griddle plate and frame then adjusting  
the leveling screws at the front and back of the griddle  
opening.

PREHEATING THE OVEN  
Many foods such as meat, poultry,

GETTING THE BEST  
RESULTS  
Minimize opening the door:  
Use a minute timer.  
Usetheinteriorovenlights.  
Choosetherightsizeutensil;use  
the utensil recommended in the  
recipe.  
Store the broiler pans outside  
the ovens. An extra pan without  
food, affects the browning and  
cooking.  
The type of pan used affects the  
browning:  
Large Gas Main Oven  
Bake Rack Positions  
Rack positions in the oven are numbered like an elevator. Number one position  
is the lowest rack and number five is at the top.  
LARGE MAIN OVEN  
One Rack Baking  
The Bake Mode is best for baking on one rack with rack #3 used for most  
baked items. If the item is tall such as an angel food cake rack #2 may be  
used. Pies are best baked on rack #2 to make certain the bottom of the  
crust is done without over browning the top. When large pieces of meat  
or poultry such as a prime rib of beef or a turkey is roasted, rack #2 is the  
preferred rack.  
For tender, golden brown  
crusts, use light non-stick/  
anodized or shiny metal  
utensils.  
For brown crisp crusts, use  
dark non-stick/anodized or  
dark, dull metal utensils or  
glass bakeware. These may  
require lowering the bake  
temperature 25˚F.  
Two Rack Baking  
Racks #2 and #5 may be used when baking on two levels. Foods such as  
cookies and biscuits work well using these two racks. Casserole dishes  
may also be baked using these two racks.  
Three Rack Baking  
If three rack baking is desired, the Convection Bake mode should be used.  
12 INCH AUXILIARY OVEN (PGR48 Models)  
BAKEWARE  
Baking on rack #3 will result in the best product. When additional height  
is needed, rack #2 may be used. The use of rack #2 with pies will result  
in a crisp bottom crust without over baking the top.  
Type  
Metalbakeware(withorwithout  
a non-stick finish), heat-proof  
glass, glass-ceramic, pottery, or  
other utensils suitable for the  
oven.  
Suitable cookie sheets have a  
small lip on one side only.  
Large oven will hold a full  
commercial baking sheet (18" x  
26").  
If two rack baking is desired in this small oven, use racks #2 and #5. For  
best results, stagger baking pans front to rear with the pan on rack #2  
toward the rear and the pan on rack #5 toward the front.  
Placement  
Allow at least 1" of space between the pans and the oven walls so heat can  
circulate around each pan.  
Stagger baking utensils so that one is not directly above another. Allow  
1-1/2 inches above and below each pan.

Convection Bake  
TIPS FOR CONVECTION BAKE  
PREHEATING THE OVEN  
RACK POSITIONS  
LARGE MAIN OVEN  
Many foods such as meat, poultry,  
casseroles, or other long cooking  
foods cook well without preheating  
the oven. See your recipe for pre–  
heatingrecommendation. Preheating  
time depends on the temperature  
setting and the number of racks in  
the oven.  
One Rack Baking  
•When baking on one rack,best results are obtained in the bake mode  
(see Bake).  
•When roasting a turkey or a large piece of meat,convection bake may  
be used. Rack #2 is the most appropriate rack.  
Two Rack Baking  
•Racks #2 and #5 are most appropriate when using the convection  
bake mode. Pans should not be staggered but the baking pan on rack  
#5 should be placed on rack #2 directly under the one on rack #5.  
•This may be used for cakes,cookies,biscuits and other foods for which  
two rack baking is desirable.  
•When several casseroles , frozen pies or cakes are to be baked, use  
racks #2 and #5.  
•These two racks can also be used for a large oven meal.  
HIGH ALTITUDE  
BAKING  
When baking at high altitudes, in  
either BAKE or CONVECTION•  
BAKE, recipes and baking times vary.  
For accurate information, write the  
Extension Service, Colorado State  
University, Fort Collins, Colorado  
80521. There may be a cost for the  
bulletins. Specify the type of  
information you want (example:  
cakes, cookies, breads, etc.).  
Three Rack Baking  
•When several sheets of cookies are to be baked, bake them on racks  
#1,#3,and #5. Place the baking sheets directly on top of each other on  
the respective racks to allow air to flow around the baking sheets.  
BAKEWARE  
Type  
CONDENSATION  
It is normal for a certain amount of  
moisturetoevaporatefromthefood  
during any cooking process. The  
amount depends on the moisture  
content of the food. The moisture  
will condense on any surface cooler  
than the inside of the oven, such as  
the control panel.  
Aluminum bakeware gives the best browning results.  
Cookie sheets should have low sides; use aluminum commercial  
half-sheets or professional cooking utensils.  
Placement  
For better browning, utensils such as cookie sheets, jelly roll pans  
and rectangular baking pans should be placed crosswise on the rack  
with the shorter sides on the right and the left. This allows the air  
to circulate freely.  
When baking on more than one rack, pans should not be staggered.  
CAUTION  
WHEN USING THE  
OVEN IN ANY MODE  
Never use aluminum foil  
to cover the oven racks  
or to line the oven. It can  
damage the oven and cause a  
fire hazard if heat is trapped  
under it.

BROILING USING A REGULAR MEAT THERMOMETER  
For accurately determining the degree of doneness for a thick steak or chop  
(at least 1-1/2 inches thick), use a regular meat thermometer. Insert the point  
of the thermometer into the side of the meat to the center of the steak or  
chop.  
Useaminutetimer. Setitforthe  
minimumtimetocheckthefood.  
For rare steaks, cook the first side to 90˚F. For medium or well done steaks,  
cook the first side to 100˚F. Turn and cook the second side to desired internal  
temperature.  
Center foods directly under the  
infrared burners for best  
browning.  
Small Gas Oven (Models PGR48)  
Foods may be broiled on racks #3, 4 or 5 depending upon the type and  
thickness of the food. Rack #5 may be used for top browning of foods.  
To avoid burning chicken skin,  
remove it before broiling.  
NOTE:  
It is impossible to use the oven and the broiler simultaneously.  
When one is on, the other one cannot be turned on.

(ModelPGR48only),thegriddleand/  
or the grill cannot be used.  
BEFORE SELF CLEANING THE OVEN  
Remove all utensils.  
Be sure the light bulbs  
and glass covers are in  
place.  
It is common to see smoke and/  
or flames during the CLEAN  
cycle, depending on the content and  
amount of soil remaining in the oven.  
If a flame persists, turn off the oven  
and allow it to cool before opening  
the door to wipe up the excessive  
food soil.  
Remove Racks.  
Clean the oven front  
frame and outer door  
edges. Wipe up large  
spillovers and grease.  
Turn on the ventilator  
hoodabovetherangeand  
leave it on until after the  
oven has completed the  
self-clean cycle.  
Wipe out puddles of grease and any  
loosesoilthatcanbeeasilyremoved.  
At the end of the CLEAN cycle,  
some gray ash or burned residue  
may remain inside the oven. This is  
a mineral deposit that does not burn  
or melt. The amount of ash depends  
on how heavily soiled the oven was  
before it was cleaned. It is easily  
removed, when the oven is cold,  
using a damp paper towel, sponge, or  
cloth.  
Remove any soil that is outside the  
door seal area. This appliance is  
designed to clean the oven interior  
and that portion of the door that is  
inside the oven. The outer edges of  
the door and the oven cavity are not  
in the cleaning zone. Wipe this area  
clean BEFORE SETTING THE  
OVEN TO SELF-CLEAN.  
NOTE: For the first Self-  
Cleaning cycle, remove small  
animals and birds from the  
kitchen and surrounding  
areas.Open a nearby window  
for additional ventilation.  
Wipe off any smoke residue that  
remains on the front frame with  
Formula 409® or Fantastik®. If stain  
remains, use a mild liquid cleanser.
