Thermador SB2B - Manual (Page 5)

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
This outdoor gas cooking appliance is not intended to
be installed in or on recreational vehicles and/or boats.
Always inspect the natural gas or LP gas hose assembly
before each use of the appliance. If there is evidence of
excessive abrasion or wear, or if the hose is cut, it must
be replaced prior to the appliance being put into
operation. Replacement hose assemblies can be
purchased at barbecue supply stores, or ordered through
Thermador®. If purchased at a retail outlet, the hose
assembly must be identical to the one supplied with the
unit. To inspect the hose assembly, check under the
unit through access opening in the enclosure.
Keep the area around the appliance clear and free from
combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable
vapors and liquids.
Do not place any items in front of the unit while in use.
This could obstruct the proper flow of air needed for
proper combustion and ventilation.
Keep ventilation opening(s) of the LP cylinder enclosure
free and clear of obstructions and debris.
Keep electrical supply cord and the fuel supply hose
away from any heated surfaces.
Do not leave the cooktop unattended while
cooking.
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Read this manual carefully before using the cooktop
to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to
persons.
• Insure proper installation. Have the installer show
you where the gas supply shutoff valve is located, and
how to shut off the gas to the cooktop. Always adhere
to the minimum clearances to combustible materials as
specified in Section 3.
• Do not repair or replace any part of this
appliance unless specifically recommended in this
manual. All other servicing should be referred to a
qualified service technician.
• If you smell gas when the unit is not in use, have the
unit checked for leaks as defined in Section 6. Finding a
gas leak is not a do-it-yourself procedure as some leaks
can only be found with the burner control in the ON
position. This must be done by a qualified technician.
• If you smell gas when the unit is in use, immediately
shut off all controls. Let the gas dissipate for at least five
minutes. Relight the burner(s) and verify that they are
operating properly. If the burner(s) fail to relight or are
not operating properly, shut of the gas to the unit and
have the unit checked by a qualified service technician.
• This appliance is equipped with a three-prong
(grounding) plug for your protection against
shock hazard and should be plugged directly into a
properly grounded three-prong receptacle. Do not cut
or remove the grounding prong from this plug.
• Be aware that spiders and insects can nest in
the burners of this cooktop. This can obstruct the
proper flow of gas into the burner and cause improper
operation, fire hazard and potential damage to the unit.
Inspect the burners periodically, or immediately if any
of the symptoms denoted in Section 7 exist. Check
Burner Air Adjustment, Page 12.
