,, Do not clean the door gasket. It is essential for
a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub,
damage, move or remove the door gasket.
" Do not use commercial oven cleaners or oven
liner protective coatings of any kind in or around
any part of the oven.
• Clean only oven parts listed in this manual.
• Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the
broiler pan, all oven racks, other utensils and
excess soft spillage.
• Listen for fan. A fan noise should be heard some=
times during the cleaning cycle, tf no fan is heard,
call for service. See Page 34.
WARNING
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic
Enforcement Act requires businesses to warn
customers of potentiam exposure to substances
which are known by the State of California to
cause cancer or reproductive harm.
The elimination of soil during self-cleaning
generates some by-products which are on this
list of substances.
To minimize exposure to these substances,
always operate this oven according to the
instructions in this manual and provide good
ventilation to the room during and immediately
after serf-cleaning the oven. J
REGARDING PET BIRDS
Birds have very sensitive respiratory systems.

Heating Modes Available in Each Oven
The following illustrations give an overview of what happens in the oven with each mode
setting. The arrows represent the location of the heat source during specific modes. The
lower element is concealed under the oven bottom.
J
BAKE, PROOF or WARM
Baking is cooking with heated aft.
Both upper and lower elements
are used to heat the aft and cycle
to maintain the temperature.
Proofing, while similar to baking,
holds an optimum low tempera-
ture for yeast to rise. Warm mode
uses bottom heat to keep foods
at optimum warm tenperature.
CONVECTmON or
Convection cooking uses heat
from a third element concealed
beMnd the back wall of the oven.
tt also uses a fan to speed up the
cffculation of heated aft through-
out the oven. Dehydrate is simF
lar to convection cooking and
holds an optimum low temperature
while circulating the heated air to
remove moisture slowly for food
preservation.

/z _.........:'b .... ........... .
L"4'__i ..........

CONVECTmON 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.
ROAST
Roast has more top heat than
bake. This additional top heat is for
conventional open roasting when
drippings are desired or for cov-
ered-dish roasting. CONVECTION BAKE
Convection Bake has heat from
the upper and lower element with
circulation assisted by the convec-
tion fan. This mode is designed for
breads and pastries.
CONVECTION BROIL
Convection broiling combines the
intense heat from the upper
element with the circulation
assisted by the convection fan.
This air circulation crisps the
exterior surface and retains inner
moisture in meats more than 1-_/
2" thick.
BROIL
Broifing uses intense heat radi-
ated from the upper element to
give excellent top browning or
searing.

Oven Features SEM/SEMW Oven Care and Use ManuaJ
General
PREHEATmNG THE OVEN
• Place oven racks in desired poskion before heat-
ing the oven.
Preheat the oven when using the BAKE,
CONVECTION, ROAST, CONVECTION BAKE and
CONVECTION ROAST modes.
Preheat is not used for BROIL and CONVEC-
TION BROIL modes.
Allow oven to preheat while preparing recipe in-
gredients or food item.
,, Setting a higher temperature does not shorten
preheat time.
During preheat, the selected cooking tempera-
ture is displayed and alternates with a display of
the actual oven temperature.
The oven beeps once when it is preheated and
the selected cooking temperature is displayed.
Once oven is preheated, place food in the oven
as quickly as possible to minimize the loss of
heat and reduction of oven temperature.
,, Use FAST PREHEAT to speed up preheating.
OPERATmONAL SUGGESTmONS
,, Use the cooking recommendations as a guide.
Use the interior oven light to view the food
through the oven door window rather than open-
ing the door frequently.
,, Use TIMER 1 or TIMER 2 to keep track of cook-
ing times.
Open the door as briefly as possible to avoid
temperature reduction.
BAKING PANS AND DISH INFORMATION
,, Glass baking dishes absorb heat; therefore, re-
duce oven temperature 25°F when baking in
glass.
Use pans that give the desired browning. For
tender, light golden brown crusts, use light, an-
odized or shiny metal utensils.
• Dark, rough or dull pans (nonstick or anodized)
will absorb heat and result in a browner, crisper
crust. Some manufacturers recommend reduc-
ing the temperature 25 ° F when using this type
of pan. Follow manufacturer recommendations.
Tips
,, insulated cookie sheets or baking pans may in-
crease the length of cooking time.
Do not set roasting pans or other baking pans on
the open oven door.
Do not keep the empty broiler pan in the oven
during cooking as this could change cooking per-
formance. Store the broil pan outside of the
oveR.
Tips for "Solving Baking Problems" are found on
Page 35.
HIGH ALTITUDE BAKING
When cooking at high altitude with BAKE, CON-
VECTION, CONVECTION BAKE, ROAST or CON-
VECTION ROAST modes, recipes and cooking
times will vary.
For accurate information, write the Extension
Service, Colorado State University, Fort Collins,
Colorado 80521. There may be a cost for the
guides. Specify which high altitude food prepara-
tion guide you prefer: general information, cakes,
cookies, breads, etc.
CONDENSATION /TEMPERATURE SENSOR
tt 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, such as the control panel.
Your new Thermador ® oven has an electronic
temperature sensor that accurately maintains
the temperature selected. Your previous oven
may have had a mechanical thermostat that
drifted gradually over time to a higher tempera-
ture. if you have adjusted your favorite recipe
for use with your previous oven, you may have
to adjust the time or temperature in your new
oven.

,, Preheat when using the Bake mode.
BaMng time will vary with the size, shape and
finbh of the baking utensil. Dark metal pans or
nonstbk coatings will cook faster with darker re-
suits. Insulated bakeware will lengthen the cook-
ing time for most foods.
For best results, bake food on a single rack with
at least 1-1/2" space between pans or dishes and
oven walls.
Baking
Baking Tips
Use a maximum of 2 racks when selecting the
bake mode. Stagger pans or baking sheets so
that one is not directly above another.
Eliminate heat loss from the oven by using the
window to periodically check food for doneness
instead of opening the door.
Do not use any aluminum foil or a disposable
aluminum tray to line any part of the oven. Foil
is an excellent heat insulator and heat will be
trapped beneath it. This will alter the cooking
performance and can damage the finish of the
oven.
Recommendations
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.*
Use BAKE for baking on one or two racks. Most items are baked on rack position 3 (center rack in oven).
Some foods are best when other rack positions are used. Refer to the chart below for foods that should be
baked using other rack positions.

Convection Node Operation
Preheat when using the convection mode.
For a quick recipe conversion, reduce the oven
temperature 25 ° from the bake setting. @
Set Timer 1 or2 as a reminder to check doneness
of the food at minimum time.
MuUtiple-rack cooking and baking can be done in
this mode. For example, cookies can be baked
on air six racks.
Check doneness 5 to 10 minutes sooner than the
minimum time for foods taking 30 minutes or more
to cook.
Items such as angel food cake, popovers and
souffles wHRhave higher voUume when baked in
this mode.
To Set the Convection mode:
1.
Use low-sided uncovered pans, such as cookie
sheets with 1 or 2 sides. 2.
Shiny aUuminum pans are best, unless otherwise
specified.
Dark finish metal pans and heatproof glass or
ceramic bakeware may require oven temperature
to be reduced or the time shortened.
Foods cooking in less than 15 minutes requires
the same time as in bake mode.
Cookie-baking time may be a few minutes longer
for multi-rack convection baking. That is because
the presence of additional baking sheets in the
oven has an effect on the heating and air
circulation. Place baking sheets directly under
each other on the oven racks to enable optimum
heat circulation.
Foods taking 30 minutes or more to cook will have
a 10 to 15 percent time savings.
