About the Appliance

Thermador Professional combines timeless design, mondern technology and premium operating convenience.

The classic design of Thermador has made it a symbol of the perfect American kitchen for over 70 years. Our ovens today lead the way in continuing this tradition.

Behind the classic design is modern and perfected technology that ensures a high degree of efficiency. Fo rinstance, we have further improved the distribution of heat in the oven by using newly designed elements. The advantage of this results in shorter cooking times, perfect results and lower energy costs.

The oven also includes features that fulfill all of your needs. The rotisserie makes food crisp on all sides. The probe can be used to determine the internal doneness of food, especially meat and poultry. Similarly, the broil pan and grid included with the oven offer the flexibility you need when cooking, since they can be used to hold food, collect fat or provide a supporting surface.

This oven is very convenient and easy to operate, even with the wide variety of options. The cooking mode and temperature can be adjusted with very little effort. The additional functions such as Fast Preheat, Cook Time and Sabbath Mode can be set at the touch of a button in just a few seconds, and the display always presents the most important information while you are cooking.

Basic Features

Setting the Clock

To set the clock, no Stop Time can be active. To set the analog clock:

1.Press SELECT repeatedly until “CLOCK“ appears in the display.

2.Press and hold “+“ until the desired time is reached.

The time is accepted after a few seconds and the clock starts running. “CLOCK“ disappears from the display.

Setting the Cooking Mode and Temperature

To set the cooking mode and temperature:

1.Turn the heating mode dial to the preferred cooking mode.

2.Turn the temperature dial to the desired temperature.

The light next to “OVEN ON” (“UPPER ON”/“LOWER ON”) for double ovens) illuminates as soon as a valid cooking mode temperature has been selected.

Preheat monitor:

The preheat monitor fills with bars while the oven heats up. All of the four bars are visible and a beep sounds when the programmed temperature is reached.

Tips:

▯The cooking mode temperature ranges are limited. The oven will not start if an invalid temperature is set. A beep sounds and “Err” appears in the display.

▯For double oven models: if Speed Convection is set for one oven, the other oven cannot run at the same time.

Heating Time Limitation

The maximum heating time is limited. If you forget to turn off the oven, it turns off automatically after a set period of time (see table below), unless using Cook Time.

The maximum time allowed for Dehydrate mode is 48 hours. The maximum time for Sabbath mode is 74 hours. For all other cooking modes, the maximum time allowed depends on the temperature:

Temperature in	Temperature in	Max. time allowed
°F	°C	without activity
100-200	38-93	24 h
201-550	94-288	12 h

Heating stops until a setting is changed.

Turning the Oven Light On and Off

Press the light button on the control panel to turn the oven light on and off. For a single oven the button toggles the oven light on and off. The way the button functions is different for a double oven because it controls the lights in both ovens independently.
