Heating Modes Available In Each Oven - Thermador CM301 Care And Use Manual

Oven Features
The following illustrations give an overview of what happens in the oven with each mode. The
arrows represent the location of the heat source during specific modes. The lower element is con-
cealed under the oven floor.
BAKE, PROOF or WARM
Baking is cooking with heated air.
Both upper and lower elements are
used to heat the air and cycle to main-
tain the temperature. Proofing, while
similar to baking, holds an optimum
low temperature for yeast to rise.
Warm mode uses bottom heat to
keep foods at optimum warm tem-
perature.
ROAST
Roast has more top heat than bake.
This additional top heat is for con-
ventional open roasting when drip-
pings are desired or for covered-dish
roasting.
BROIL
Broiling uses intense heat radiated
from the upper element to give ex-
cellent top browning or searing.

Heating Modes Available in Each Oven

CONVECTION or
DEHYDRATE
Convection cooking uses heat from
a third element concealed behind the
back wall of the oven. It also uses a
fan to speed up the circulation of
heated air throughout the oven. De-
hydrate is similar to convection cook-
ing and holds an optimum low tem-
perature while circulating the heated
air to remove moisture slowly for food
preservation.
CONVECTION BAKE
Convection Bake has heat from the
upper and lower element with circu-
lation assisted by the convection fan.
This mode is designed for breads and
pastries.
CONVECTION ROAST
Convection roasting combines the
heat from the lower concealed
element with additional heat from the
convection element and fan. The
result is a crispier exterior that seals
in the interior juices. It is perfect for
roasting tender meats in an
uncovered, low-sided pan.
CONVECTION BROIL
Convection broiling combines the
intense heat from the upper element
with air circulation assisted by the
convection fan. This air circulation
crisps the exterior surface and retains
inner moisture in meats more than 1
