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.

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

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
