Preheating the Oven

For best results, preheat the oven when using the BAKE, CONVECTION or CONVECTION ROAST modes.

•Place racks in the oven before preheating.

•The oven is preheated when the oven chimes and the selected temperature is displayed.

•Allow oven to preheat while preparing recipe or food.

•Once oven is preheated, place food in the oven as quickly as possible to minimize the loss of heat.

For Best Results

•Use Baking, Roasting and Broiling Charts found on Pages 38 to 40 for suggested rack level and cooking time.

•Minimize opening the door.

•Use TIMER 1 or TIMER 2.

•Use the interior oven light to view the food.

•Store the broiler pan or other utensils outside the oven. An extra pan, without food, affects the browning and cooking.

•Use pans that give you the desired browning:

-For tender, golden brown crusts, use light nonstick/anodized or shiny metal utensils.

-For brown, crisp crusts, use dark nonstick/ anodized or dark, dull metal utensils or glass bakeware.

CAUTION: Never use aluminum foil to cover the oven racks or to line the oven. It can damage the oven if it touches the heating element or damage the oven liner if heat is trapped under it.

High Altitude Baking

When baking at high altitudes, in either BAKE, CON- VECTION or CONVECTION ROAST mode, reci- pes and baking times vary. For information to adjust recipes, 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.).

Condensation

It is normal for a certain amount of moisture to evaporate from the food during any cooking process. The amount depends on the moisture content of the food. The moisture may condense on any surface cooler than the inside of the oven.

Electronic Temperature Sensor

Your new Thermador® oven has an electronic tem- perature sensor which accurately maintains the tem- perature selected. Your previous oven may have had a mechanical thermostat that drifted to a higher temperature with age. You may experience an adjustment period when cooking your favorite reci- pes with your new Thermador® convection oven.
