COOKTOP OPERATION
Burner Grates
The position of each double grate is labelled on the
underside edge of the grate as shown in the figure below.
The following pages explain how each feature on the
gas cooktop works and how to get the best cooking
results.
Follow these hints when cooking on the cooktop:
•
•
Use proper cookware. (See Page 7.)
Center the pan over the burner before turning the
burner on.
•
Refer to the Cooking Chart on Page 8 for suggested
flame settings.
Single
(36"
models
only)
Sealed Burners
Center
Universal
(30" models only)
Side
Your new cooktop has sealed gas burners. There are
no burner parts under the cooktop to clean, disassemble
or adjust. Your cooktop has two different burner sizes,
large and medium. Match the pan to the size burner.
30" Models have two universal grates. Position the
straight side in the center. They are interchangeable by
rotating 180°.
Burner Caps
36" Models have one side grate, one center grate and
one single grate. Position the grates on the cooktop as
illustrated above.
Porcelain
Enamel Burner Cap
45" Models have two side grates and one center
grate. The side grates can be placed on either side of the
center grate and the center grate may be rotated 180°.
W ARNING: All grates must be properly
positioned on the cooktop whenever the
!
cooktop is in use. Each of the four feet
Ports
Locator
must be placed into the corresponding
dimples in the cooktop. See illustration on Page 8.
Do not use a grate if the rubber feet are missing or
damaged.
Igniter
Notch
Burner Control Knobs
Burner Base
The burner cap is porcelainized steel. On the under-
side of the cap is one locator which must fit into the
corresponding notch on the burner base. If the burner
capisnot placed correctly, the burner maynot light or the
flame may not burn completely or correctly.
W ARNING: Do not use the cooktop
without allburner capsand allburner grates
properly positioned.
!
Burner “O N” Light (Models SGCS304,
SGCS365 & SGCS456 only)
The “ON” light is located to the right of the burner
control knobs. When illuminated, it indicates that one or
more burnersare inuse. It remainsonuntilallburnersare
turned off.
SGC models which do not feature ExtraLow® opera-
tions have only standard burner controls and bezels.
ExtraLowcooktops(SGCSmodels)have standard burner
controls and bezels as well as 2 ExtraLow burner controls
and bezels. (See Page 5.)
PAGE 4
COOKTOP OPERATION
The ignitor should be clean and dry for proper opera-
tion.
• Avoid getting water or food on the igniter.
Burner Control Knobs (continued)
The standard burner controls have an infinite number
of heat settings with no fixed positions. Refer to Page 3 to
see the location of the burner and it corresponding knob.
• If the igniter is wet or soiled, it may spark without
igniting the burner, or even spark continuously when a
flame is present.
To operate: Select the appropriate control knob, push
down and turn counterclockwise to the desired flame
size. Turn OFF by turning the control knob clockwise to
OFF.
Note: If the burner does not light within 4 seconds,
turn the burner off. Check to see that the cap is posi-
tioned correctly on the burner base and the igniter is
clean and dry. If a burner still fails to ignite, see Before
Calling Service on the back cover.
Burner Control Knob Bezels
The bezels for standard burner controls feature one
locator on the underside. This single locator snaps into
the notch in the cooktop so that O FF is at the 12 o’clock
position.
Typical Flam e Characteristics
The bezels for ExtraLow® burner controls feature two
locators on the underside. These two locators snap into
two notches in the cooktop so that O FF is at the 12
o’clock position.
The burner flame should be blue in color and stable
with no yellow tips, excessive noise or fluttering. It should
burn completely around the burner cap.
Foreign particles in the gas line may cause an orange
flame during initial use. This should disappear with use.
Check burner cap to make sure port holes are not
obstructed. If the ports are clogged, see ‘Before Calling
for Service’ on the back cover
To rem ove knob and bezel: With burner in the
OFF position, gently lift knob up and off. Use a plastic
spatula to gently lift the bezel from the side.
Note: An audible “pop” may be heard when the
burner is turned off manually, or when cycling in the
XLO® zone (SGCS models). The “popping” may be
louder with LP gas than with natural gas.
W ARNING: Do not reach through bezel
opening into rough-in box.
!
To replace bezel and knob: With OFF on the bezel
in the 12 o’clock position, press to snap in place. Replace
control knob by placing indicator line at the 12 o’clock
position; press down flrmly. For m odels SGCS only,
be sure to replace ExtraLow bezels in the 2 center
burner positions.
Power Failure
In the event of a power failure, only the standard
burners can be ignited manually. The two XLO burners
on SGCS models cannot be ignited manually.
If the cooktop is being used when a power failure
occurs, turn all the burner control knobs to the O FF
position. The standard burners can then be ignited manu-
allybyholdingamatchat the portsand turningthe control
knob to the HI position. Wait until the flame is burning all
the way around the burner before adjusting the flame to
the desired height.
Electronic Ignition/Reignition
The cooktop uses electronic igniters to light the
burners. There is no pilot light. Each burner has its own
igniter. If a burner flame blows out during use, the burner
will automatically reignite.
!
CAUTIO N: All four igniters spark when any
single burner is turned ON or the reignition system is
activated. Do not touch any of the burners when the
cooktop is in use.
W ARNING: The reignition feature will
not workinthe event ofapower failure. See
Page 6 for ExtraLow burners.

COOKTOP OPERATION – ExtraLow® BURNERS
(MODELS SGCS304/SGCS365/SGCS456)
This feature is not on all m odels.
Therm ador® ExtraLow Burners
For Best Results
Two burnersare enhanced withthe ExtraLow(XLO®)
feature. W hen the control knob is set within the
XLO zone, the flam e cycles O FF and O N auto-
m atically for varying seconds every m inute. This
cycling is norm al and allows you to simmer, poach,
melt or hold cooked food without scorching or burning.
•
Bring food to a boil; stir well to be sure all the food
is boiling, then cover and reduce the setting to the
XLO zone.
•
Use a lid to keep a more constant cooking tempera-
ture.
•
•
Use a higher XLO setting if the pan is uncovered.
How They Work
Check the food occasionally to see if the control
knob should be turned to a lower or higher setting.
•
The burner flame will cycle ON and OFF each minute
when the setting is at any position between LO (past
detent) and XLO.
•
If the control knob is set too low to maintain simmer,
bring the food back to a boil before setting a higher
simmer setting.
•
•
The length of time the flame is ON and OFF depends
on the knob setting.
•
•
It is normal to stir food occasionally.
Simmer bubbles may not be seen when the flame has
cycled OFF.
With a setting just below LO, the flame will be ON
approximately 53 seconds and OFF 7 seconds of
each minute.
•
•
While the flame is ON, there may be bubbling.
•
•
With a setting at the XLO position, the flame is ON
approximately 7 seconds and OFF 53 seconds of
each minute.
There should be at least steam and a slight quivering
of the liquid’s surface while simmering.
The knob can be set to any position between LO and
XLO.
W ARNING:
Do not clean or touch any of the burners
when one or both XLO burners are in use.
When the XLO burner automatically reig-
nites, the igniters at all burners will spark.

heat settings on
Page 7.
IMPO RTANT:The two XLO burners cannot be
used during a power failure. Be sure to turn knobs
OFF if a power failure occurs. The burners will not turn
back on until both control knobs are turned OFF and then
turned back ON again after power has been restored. See
What To Do If You Smell Gas inside the Front Cover.

PROPER COOKWARE
Cookware Characteristics
•
•
•
•
Aluminum or copper bottomed pans conduct heat evenly.
Steel pans, if not combined with other metals, may cook unevenly.
Cast-iron cookware absorbs heat slowly and cooks more evenly at low-to-medium settings.
Flat, heavy bottom pans provide even heat and stability.
DO NOT USE pans that are thin, warped, dented or ridged as they heat unevenly.
Match Pan Diam eter to Flam e Size
– The flame should be the same size as the bottom
of the pan or smaller. Do not use small pans with
high flame settings as the flames can lick up the
sides of the pan.
– Oversize pans that span two burners are placed
front to rear, not side to side.
Use Balanced Pans
– Pans must sit level on the cooktop grate without
rocking.
– Center pan over burner.
Use a Lid That Fits Properly
– A well-fitting lid helps shorten the cooking time.
Pans that span 2 burners, i.e. griddles, roasters and fish poachers, may be used when placed front to
back. Adjust flame equally to cook evenly. Use the Thermador® accessory griddle Model AGGRIDDLE.
To order call the 800 number listed below.
Use a W ok with a flat bottom . If using a round bottomed wok, use the Thermador accessory support
wok ring, Model AWOKRING. To order call the 800 number listed below.
Canners and pressure cookers must meet the same requirements as described above.
• After bringing contents to a boil, use lowest heat setting possible to maintain a boil or pressure (for
pressure canners/cookers).
