General Appliance, Oven and Microwave Oven
A Safety Precautions
GENERAL OVEN SAFETY
, Do not touch hot elements or hot interior surfaces
of the oven.
The heating elements may be hot even though they
are dark in color. Interior surfaces of an oven become
hot enough to cause burns.
During and after use, do not touch or let clothing or
other flammable materials contact the heating
elements until they have had sufficient time to cool.
The trim on top and on the sides of the oven door
may become hot enough to cause burns.
Use care when opening the oven door. Open slightly
at first to let hot air or steam escape before removing
or replacing food.
Do not heat unopened food containers. Buildup of
pressure may cause the container to burst and result
in injury.
Always place oven racks at desired level while oven is
cool. If a rack must be moved while oven is hot, do
not let pothotder contact the hot elements.
Tie long hair so that it doesn't hang loose.
In the event that personal clothing or hair catches fire,
drop and roll immediately to extinguish flames.
Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders
in contact with hot surfaces may result in burns from
steam.
Do not use a towel or other types of bulky cloth in
place of potholders. They may ignite if they touch a
hot element.
A WARNING
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic
Enforcement Act requires businesses to warn
customers of potential 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 self-
cleaning the oven.
SELF°CLEANING MODE SAFETY
Confirm that the door locks and wil! not open before
starting self-clean mode. If door does not loci<, do not
run self<lean; phone [phone] for service (see
Page 54, for obtaining service.)
Clean only oven parts listed in this manual.
Keep surfaces of door and oven free of soil, especially
where they meet. Refer to cleaning instructions on
Page 51.
Do not clean the door gasket. Care should be taken
not to rub, damage, loosen or remove the door gasket.
It is essential for a good seal.
Do not use commercial oven cleaners or oven liner
protective coating of any kind in or around any part of
the oven.
Before setting the self-clean mode, remove the broiler
pan, oven racks, other utensils and excess, soft
spillage.
MICROWAVE MODE SAFETY
, Do not tamper with, adjust or repair the door, safety
interlock switches or any other part of the oven. Repairs
must be done by a qualified service technician.
, Do not operate the microwave mode when the oven
is empty. If food or water is not present to absorb the
energy, the oven could be damaged with a risk of fire.
, Do not dry clothes, newspapers or other materials in
the oven. Newspapers and paper bags are not suitable
for cooking; a fire may result.
, Do not use recycled paper products unless they are
labeled safe for microwave use. These products may
contain impurities that may cause sparks and result in
a fire.
, Always use potholders to remove food from oven
when usnig the microwave mode. Heat is transferred
from the HOT food to the cooking container.
REGARDING PET BIRDS
Birds have very sensitive respiratory systems. Keep
pet birds out of the kitchen or other rooms where
kitchen fumes could reach them. During Self Clean
mode, fumes that may be harmful to birds are
released. Other kitchen fumes, such as from
overheating margarines and cooking oils, may also
be harmful.

SafetyPrecautions
IMPORTANT." Do not overcook food; fire could result. Proper cooking depends on selecting the correct power level
and cooking time for the amount of food in the oven. Smaller portions of food that are cooked too long may catch fire.
Always have food in the microwave oven when it is on to absorb the microwave energy. When using the oven at power
levels below 100%, you can hear the magnetron cycling on and offl Condensation is a norma! part of microwave
cooking. Covered foods will not cause as much condensation as uncovered ones. Do not block oven vents. This oven
is rated for 600 watts by using the IEC Test Procedure. When preparing foods, check food 1-2 minutes before the
minimum time and add time accordingly.

Heating Modes Available in Each Oven
The following i!lustrations 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,
i
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.
::>\
CONVECTION or
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 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 con-
ventional open roasting when drip-
pings are desired or for covered-dish
roasting. 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 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-
1/2" thick.
BROIL
Broiling uses intense heat radiated
from the upper element to give ex-
cellent top browning or searing.

Cooksmart TM settings cook in approximately one-half the
standard cooking time. See Pages 15 - 22 for operation.
HICP,OWAVE - The microwaves enter through the plate
in the top of the oven. Select from ten power levels when
microwaving. See Pages 23 - 33 for operation.

HICP,OBP,OIL - This mode combines microwave and broil
settings. The intense heat from the upper element gives
excellent top-browning and microwaves shorten the total
cooking time. llicrobroil is best for tender meat, poultry
and fish that is more than 1-1/4 inches thick. See Pages

General Tips for Upper and Lower Oven
PREHEATING THE OVEN
Place oven racks in desired position before heating
the oven,
Preheat the oven when using the BAKE,
CONVECTION, ROAST and CONVECTION BAKE
modes,
Preheat is not used for BROIL and CONVECTION
BROIL modes,
Allow oven to preheat while preparing recipe
ingredients or food item,
Setting a higher temperature does not shorten preheat
time,
During preheat, the selected cooking temperature 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 PREHEATto speed up preheating (See page
34),
SUGGESTIONS FOR OPERATION
Use the cooking recommendations as a guide.
Use the interior oven light to view the food through
the oven door window rather than opening the door
frequently.
, Use TIMER 1 or TIMER 2 to keep track of cooking
times.
, Open the door as little as possible to avoid
temperature reduction.
BAKING PANS AND DISH INFORMATION
, Glass baking dishes absorb heat; therefore, reduce
oven temperature 25°F when baking in glass.
, Use pans that give the desired browning. For tender,
light golden brown crusts, use light, anodized 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 reducing the
temperature 25° Fwhen using this type of pan. Follow
manufacturer recommendations.
Insulated cookie sheets or baking pans may increase
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 performance.
Store the broil pan outside of the oven.
Tips for"Sotving Baking Problems" are found on Page
55.
HIGH ALTITUDE BAKING
When cooking at high altitude with BAKE,
CONVECTION, CONVECTION BAKE, ROAST or
CONVECTION 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 preparation guide you prefer:
general information, cakes, cookies, breads, etc.
CONDENSATION /TEMPERATURE SENSOR
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 mechanica! thermostat that drifted gradually
over time to a higher temperature. 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.

GENERAL TIPS
, Placing racks in oven: 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.
Removing racks from oven: To remove racks or
reposition racks in the oven, pull the rack toward the
front of the oven. Lift up the front of the rack over
the safety stops and pull from the oven.
Place oven racks in desired positions before turning
the oven on.
Oven rack supports should not be removed from the
oven,
, _I, CAUTION! Never use aluminum foil to cover the
oven racks or to line the oven. It can cause damage
to the oven 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 and not
tilt when pulled forward.
SELF CLEANING THE RACKS
, If the racks are left in the oven during Self Clean, the
racks will lose the shiny finish, See Oven Care and
Cleaning Recommendations on Page 51,
Always
remove
before
Self Clean
Extendable Rack
, The Extendable Rack (some models) must be removed
before starting the Self Clean mode.

the cooking mode,
, Refer to the cooking recommendations in this manual
for suggested rack positions,
MULTIPLE RACK COOKING AND BAKING
, Now you can cook a complete meal using multiple
racks without flavor exchange from different foods.
, Check that cooking or baking temperatures are the
same when cooking different foods at the same time.
, Two racks can be used at one time during BAKE mode,
such as when baking a batch of cookies.
, Three racks or more can be used with convection
modes.

Cooksmart T"®
Cooksmart TM combines convection heat and microwave
energy to cook food in about half the conventional cook
time (i.e. 12 minutes conventional time = 6 minutes
Cooksmart TM time).
Cooksmart TM modes include:
CS1 - Breads, Desserts
CS2 - Large Roasts, Poultry, and Casseroles
CS3 - Small Roasts, Poultry, and Appetizers
CS4 - Vegetables
CS5 - Frozen Foods
, Each Cooksmart TM mode represents a pre-
programmed combination of convection temperature
with a microwave power level. Enter the longest cook
time that is called for in your conventional recipe.
Cooksmart TM will automatically reduce time entered
when preheating starts.
Set timer and check food when half of shortest
recommended conventional time has elapsed.
Always preheat before using a Cooksmart TM mode.
Do not use Cooksmart TM mode when oven is empty.
Mode -Upper or Single Oven ONLY
, Select bakeware that is made of either metal, oven-
safe glass or glass ceramic. Metal pans become hot quickly
and will yield more browning. Do not cover food.
, Select rack level before selecting the CS mode. Remove
all racks except one.
, Rack positions are numbered from the bottom (position
#1) to the top (position #6).
, Do not allow metal pans to touch each other or arcing
may occur.
, When using metal containers or foi!, allow at least
1-inch (2.S cm) spacing from oven walls.
, When using microwave, Cooksmart TM or combination
modes, do not leave an oven thermometer in oven.
, Do not use paper towels in oven when using
Cooksmart TM modes.
, Food soil is more substantial in the Cooksmart TM modes
than in conventional oven modes. As a result, the oven
may require more frequent self cleaning.
, Many factors affect cooking time. Always check food
for doneness. You Will See
