Appliance 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.
Getting the Most Out of Your Appliance General Tips Pan Placement Baking results are better if pans are placed in the center of the oven. If baking more than one pan on a rack, allow at least 1" to 1 Y2"of air space around the pan. When baking four cake layers at the same time, stagger pans on two racks so that one pan is not directly above the other.
Bake Bake is cooking with dry, heated air. Both the upper and lower el- ements cycle to maintain the oven temperature. The Bake mode can be used to prepare a variety of food items, from pastries to casseroles. Refer to recipe or package directions for oven temperature and baking time.
True Convection True Convection cooks with heat from a third element behind the back wall of the oven. The heat is circulated throughout the oven by the convection fan. True Convection is well suited for cooking individual serving-sized foods such as cookies and biscuits.

Steaks and chops should be at least 3A"thick. Brush fish and poultry with butter or oil to prevent sticking. Use the broil pan and grid included with the oven. Food should be spread out over the entire pan/grid. When using Broil (lower oven), food should be placed in the center of the broil pan.
Max Convection Max Convection Broil is similar to Max Broil. It combines intense heat from the upper element with heat circulated by a convection Broil fan. The larger broil element which allows you to broil large quan- tities of food at one time. Max Convection Broil mode is well suited for cooking thick, tender cuts of meat, poultry and fish.
Speed Speed Convection uses all heating elements as well as the con- vection fan to evenly distribute heat throughout the oven cavity. Convection The main difference between speed convection and other convec- tion modes is that it does not require preheating. Speed Convection is well suited for frozen convenience foods such as fish sticks and chicken nuggets.
Warm In Warm, the upper and lower elements maintain a low tempera- ture in the oven cavity in order to keep food at serving tempera- ture. Use the Warm mode to keep cooked foods hot until ready to serve. Warm mode temperatures are 150 °F - 225 °F. Foods that must be kept moist should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil.
