Interpreting the Control Panel:Sights & Sounds
The directions in the Care and Use Manual for setting the oven and its various modes are based on the
assumption that the panel displays and sounds will“lead” or help you set the controls easily. To aid in this
path the following descriptions provide a basis for interpreting what is seen and heard.
Flashing Symbols or Numbers
Signals an incomplete setting;calls for another step or
START to be touched.
I Beep
Signals the receipt of an entry.
2 Beeps
Signal an error in entry.
4 Chimes
Signal the end of a setting.
Probe Symbol
Displays the internal temperature of the meat rather
than the oven roasting temperature.
Oven tempera-
ture can be seen briefly by touching the cook mode
after touching START.
Lock Symbol
Displays during the Microwave, CookSmart, and Self
Clean modes whenever the door is locked. Door can
be opened when symbol no longer appears.
PAU
Displays when a Microwave or Cooksmart program is
paused or interrupted and door unlocks.
Err
Displays if an invalid temperature or time is entered.
Power Failure
After the power returns to the oven,the clock displays
the time when the power was lost or turned off.
UPPER
LOWER
(Double oven models only) Selects the
active oven to be set by highlighting the
oven in the mode display window.
Default Settings
The cooking modes automatically select a suitable
temperature. These can be changed when a different
one is needed.
START
Touch to complete an entry and before entering an
additional one.
UPPER OFF and LOWER OFF
Touch to cancel a mode that has already been started
or completed.
COOK TIME
Sets the number of hours and minutes the oven will be
“on”. UnlikeTimer 1 or 2, the oven turns“off” auto-
matically when the time elapses. This pad is used with
the automatic timed oven control.
F Number Codes
Thesecodesaredisplayedwhen thereis aproblem with
thesignalsent totheelectroniccontrolboard.See Solv-
ing Operational Problems,Page 36.
Convection Fan
Operates during any convection mode.The fan turns
off if the door is opened.
Component Cooling Fan
Activates during any cooking or self-cleaning mode to
cool inner components and outer door surfaces.This
air is exhausted through the vent located below the
lower oven in double oven models. It continues to run
until components have cooled sufficiently.
120/208 Volt Connection
• Preheat the oven for all cooking modes.
Preheat time will be slightly longer.
• Preheatthe broil element withthedoor open
for 3 to 4 minutes or until the top element is
red.Do not preheat with the broil pan in the
oven.
• The Self-Clean mode may need a longer clean
time than normal, depending on the amount
of soil.

C Oven Care and Use Manual
Heating Modes Available in Each Oven
Oven Features
Page 8
The following illustrations give an overview of what happens in the oven with each mode setting. The arrows repre-
sent the location of the heat source during specific modes.The lower element is concealed under the oven floor.
CONVECTION BROIL
Convection broiling combines the
intenseheatfromthe upper element
with the circulation assisted by
convection fan.This air circulation
crisps the exterior surface and
retains inner moisture in meats
more than 1-1/2" thick.
CONVECTION ROAST
Convection roasting combines the
heat from the lower concealed ele-
ment with additional heat from the
convection element and fan and the
top element. The result is a crispier
exterior that seals in the interior
juices. It is perfect for roasting ten-
dermeats inanuncovered,low-sided
pan.
CONVECTION BAKE
Convection Bake has heat from the
upper and lower element with
circulationassisted bythe convection
fan.Thismodeis designed forbreads
and pastries.
CONVECTION or
DEHYDRATE
Convection is cooking with heat
from a third element concealed
behind the back wall of the oven.It
is used with a fan to speed up the
circulation of heated air throughout
the oven. Dehydrating is similar to
convection cooking and holds an
optimum low temperature while
circulating the heated air to remove
moisture slowly for food
preservation.
BROIL
Broiling uses intense heat radiated
from the upper element to give ex-
cellent top browning or searing.
ROAST
Roast has more top heat than bake.
This additional top heat is for con-
ventional open roasting when drip-
pingsaredesiredorforcovered-dish
roasting.
BAKE or PROOF
Baking is cooking with heated air.
Both upper and lower elements are
used to heat the air and cycle to
maintainthe temperature.Proofing,
while similar to bake,holds an opti-
mum low temperature for yeast to
rise.

PREHEATINGTHE OVEN*
• Preheat the oven when using the BAKE,
CONVECTION and ROAST modes.
• Preheat is not necessary for BROIL and
CONVECTION BROIL modes.
• Preheat is optional for CONVECTION ROAST.
Preheating is not recommended for
CONVECTION ROAST when using the PROBE.
A hot oven impairs connecting the meat probe
into the receptacle.
• Ovenis notpreheatedfor CONVECTIONBAKE,
to take advantage of the lower heat yielding a
better crust on baked items.
• Place racks in the oven before preheating.
• Duringpreheat,the selected cookingtemperature
is displayed and alternates with a display of the
actual oven temperature.
• The oven chimes once when it is preheated and
the selected cooking temperature is displayed.
OPERATIONAL SUGGESTIONS
• Use the cooking charts as a guide.
• Do not set pans on the opened oven door.
• Use the interior oven light to view the food
through the oven door window rather than
opening the door frequently.
• UseTIMER1 ORTIMER 2to keeptrackof cooking
times.
UTENSILS
• Reduceoventemperature25ºwhen bakinginglass.
• Usepansthatgivethe desiredbrowning.Fortender,
golden brown crusts, use light nonstick/anodized
or shiny metal utensils.
• Forbrown,crispcrusts,usedarknonstick/anodized
or dark, dull metal utensils or glass bakeware.
Insulated baking pans may increase the length of
cooking time.
• Do not cook with the empty broiler pan in the
oven, as this could change cooking performance.
Store the broil pan outside of the oven.
• Tips for“Solving Baking Problems” are found on
Page 35.
GeneralTips
HIGH ALTITUDE BAKING
• Whencooking athighaltitude,recipesand cooking
times will vary from the standard. For accurate
information,writethe ExtensionService,Colorado
State University, Fort Collins, Colorado 80521.
There may be a cost for the bulletins.
CONDENSATION
/ TEMPERATURESENSOR
• It 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 temperature.It is
common to experience an adjustment period
when cooking your favorite recipes in the new
oven.
OVEN RACKS
• Rackpositionsarenumberedfromthe bottomrail
guide (#1) to the top (#6). Check the cooking
charts for the recommended position.
• To insert racks into the oven,hold the rack with
the back rail up and toward the back. Place the
safety hooks under the front of the rail guides.
Push the rack into the oven,lifting the rack stops
over the front of the rail guides. Slide the rack
into position.
• To remove racks or reposition racks in the oven,
pull the rack towards the front of the oven.Lift up
the front of rack over the safety stops and pull
from the oven.
• Rack rail supports should not be removed from
the oven.
• CAUTION! Never use aluminum foil to cover the
ovenracks or toline theoven. Itcan causedamage
to the oven can liner if heat is trapped under the
foil.
• When placing food on a rack, pull the rack out to
the stop position. The racks are designed to lock
when pulled forward.

CONVECTION BAKE TIPS
• Most recipes are cooked on rack positions 1 or 2 to take advantage of bottom heat.
• When a recipe has a two-step temperature cooking method (ex: pumpkin pie),
use the lower temperature for the entire cooking time given.
• For extra crisp bottom crusts (ex:scratch pizza),place the metal pan directly on the oven floor.
• Oven is not preheated for CONVECTION BAKE to take advantage of the lower heat yielding a
better crust on baked items.
• Use the conventional baking temperature and cooking time given in the recipe.
• Cook using only one rack at a time.
