Page 35. See "Data Rating Plate."
These may

3.
Optional Accessories.
Grill Plate, Gas Black
Knob Kit, Chopping Board, Griddle Cover, Wok
Support Ring and other accessories are avail-
able from your Thermador Dealer.
4.
Position the racks correctly in the oven.
The correct rack position depends on the recipe
and the cooking mode. The rack positions are
numbered from the bottom of the oven, like an
elevator.
Rack position 3 is the most frequently
used position. Place rack(s) in the proper posi-
tion before turning on the oven.
Insert the racks as follows:
a. Hold the rack with the back rail in the up
position towards the rear of the oven. Slip it
into the oven so the rack slides are between
the rack and the rack guides.
b. Tip the front of the rack up slightly as it slides
into the oven so that the safety stops clear the
rack slides. The safety stops on the back of
the rack will keep it from sliding out of the
oven when it is pulled forward.
5.
Ensure that the burner caps are correctly
seated on the burner bases of the range's
cooktop.
Turn on each burner to check for
proper flame color. See Page 11 for details.
Remove all packaging materials
and temporary labels from oven
and cooktop.

Before Using Your Range for the First Time
BEFORE BAKING OR BROILING,
the oven and
broiler should be turned on to burn off the manufac-
turing oils. Turn the oven on to 450°F (230°C) for 20
to 30 minutes; then turn the broiler to "Broil" for same
length of time. You may wish to turn on the ventilator
above your range during this time. Please note that it
is normal for small amounts of smoke to be visible
from the range, during this initial breaking-in process.
Please read Page 33 in Section 6: Care and
Maintenance before cleaning the oven racks.
Aluminum foil should never be used to cover
the oven racks or to line the oven. Do not
remove the infrared burner in the gas oven.
