A SPECIAL MESSAGE TO OUR CUSTOMERS
Thank you for selecting the Thermador PROFESSIONAL® Cooktop. We recommend that you take time to read this entire booklet before using your new appliance for the first time. The booklet contains suggestions we believe will be helpful as well as directions for using all the features of this cooktop. Keep it in a handy place, as it has the answers to questions that may occur when you start to cook. [. . . ] In the recommendations, the "Finish Setting" has been separated for the standard and ExtraLow burners. Allow time for the pan and the food to adjust to the new setting.

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 COOKTOP AND GRILL. For most kitchens with a wall mounted hood, a certified hood rating of not less than 940 CFM is recommended. The hood must be installed according to installation instructions furnished with the hood and local building code requirements. Refer to ventilation requirements in the Installation Instructions for additional information.
THE GRILL
(Available on some models) 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 fats and juices that are brought to the surface of the food and seared by the intense heat from the stainless steel radiant. 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. Your new Thermador Professional® grill is equipped with an aluminized steel U-shaped tube burner typical of those used in restaurants. [. . . ] It is located on the bottom of the unit.
