General Tips

Aluminum Foil

WARNING: Do not use aluminum foil or protective liners to line any part of the appliance, especially the oven bottom. Installing these liners may result in risk of electric shock or fire.

Preheating the Oven

• Place oven racks in desired position before heating the oven.
• Preheat the oven when using the Bake, Convection Bake, True Convection, Pizza, Broil, Convection Broil, Steam Convection, Steam, Reheat, Defrost and Warm modes.
• Preheat is not required for Speed Convection, Roast, Convection Roast, Proof, and Dehydrate modes.
• Allow oven to preheat while preparing recipe ingredients or food items.
• Setting a higher temperature does not shorten preheat time.
• Once oven is preheated, open the oven door and 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

Preheat Reminders

The lower element is hidden under the oven bottom. It is normal that the preheat time is different than your previous oven that had an exposed element on the bottom.

• Preheating is not necessary for meats, poultry, casseroles and Speed Convection mode.
• Preheat time will be longer when the electrical supply to your house is less than 240 volts.
• Increasing the oven temperature will require a longer preheat time. For example, the preheat time for 425° F is longer than the preheat time for 350° F.

When broiling, preheat the oven 3-4 minutes. Do not preheat for more than 5 minutes.

For Best Results

• Use the cooking recommendation charts which can be found in the Cooking Charts Use and Care Guide.
• Open the door as briefly as possible to avoid temperature reduction.
• Use the interior oven light to view the food through the oven window rather than opening the door frequently.
• Use the timer to keep track of cooking times.

Baking Pans and Dishes

• Glass baking dishes absorb heat. Some cookware manufacturers recommend reducing the temperature 25° F when using this type of dish. Follow manufacturers’ recommendations.
• Use pans that provide the desired browning. For tender, light, golden brown crusts, use light, anodized or shiny metal bakeware.
• 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° F when using this type of pan. Follow manufacturers’ recommendations.
• Insulated cookie sheets or bakeware may increase the length of cooking time.
• Do not set broil pans or any other heavy object on the open oven door.
• Do not keep the empty broil pan in the oven during cooking as this changes cooking performance. Store the broil pan outside the oven.

Condensation

It is normal for 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.

• Clean the smooth enamel surfaces with a dish cloth and hot soapy water. Dry with a soft cloth.
• Soften baked-on food residues with a damp cloth and soapy water. If there are heavy food deposits use a soapfilled pad.

Note: Food residues can leave a white coating behind. These are harmless and do not affect performance. You can remove these residues using lemon juice if required.

Keeping the Appliance Clean

Always keep the appliance clean and remove food and food spills immediately so that stubborn deposits do not build up.

• Clean the oven cavity after each use. This will ensure that food and food spills cannot be baked on.
• Always remove flecks of limescale, grease, starch and albumin (e.g. egg white) immediately.
• Use suitable ovenware for roasting, e.g. a roasting dish.
• For cakes or pies that may spill over, place on baking sheet lined with aluminum foil and place on wire rack.

Cleaning Functions

NOTICE: Do not use oven cleaner on the self-cleaning surfaces. These will damage the surfaces. If oven cleaner does get onto these surfaces, wipe it off immediately using water and a sponge. Do not rub the surface and do not use abrasive cleaning aids.

Your appliance is equipped with “Ecolytic Clean”, “Easy Clean” and a “Descale” function. The self-cleaning surfaces in the oven cavity are cleaned with the "Ecolytic Clean" cleaning function. Use the “Easy Clean” function for intermediate cleaning of the oven cavity bottom. Food and food spills are saturated with steam enabling soils to loosen when using the “Easy Clean” function and can then be removed more easily. You can use the “Descale” function to remove limescale from the evaporator.

Ecolytic Clean

• Some surfaces in the oven cavity are cleaned with the Ecolytic Clean operating mode.
• Ecolytic cleaning is constantly cleaning. The side panels, ceiling panel and back panel are coated with a porous, matte ceramic material known as an ecolytic coating.
• The coating absorbs and breaks down splashes over time from baking, roasting and broiling while the oven is in operation.
• If the surfaces no longer clean themselves adequately and dark patches appear, the surfaces can be “refreshed” using the Ecolytic Clean mode which helps clean the ecolytic coating by operating the unit at a higher temperature to help speed the process.
• Note: During normal operation the appliance records the number of times it is used and indicates when it has reached a point where cleaning is recommended. The recommendation is displayed until the Ecolytic Clean mode has finished.
• If this function is not performed, then the ecolytic surfaces may become damaged.
• If your appliance becomes prematurely soiled or if you notice dark patches on the back panel, do not wait until your appliance recommends cleaning. The more often the appliance is cleaned, the longer the porous surfaces will retain their cleaning capability. You can clean your appliance at any time needed using the Ecolytic Clean function.
• Wipe out large spills from the oven before running the Ecolytic Cleaning function.
• Do not clean parts or accessories in the self-clean oven.

Before Running the Ecolytic Clean Function

• Remove racks, rails, accessories and ovenware from the oven cavity.

Cleaning the Oven Bottom and the Inside of the Appliance Door

• Remove the worst food spills from the oven bottom, the inside of the appliance door and the interior lighting. Otherwise, patches will appear that cannot be removed.

NOTICE: Do not use oven cleaner on the ecolytic cleaning surfaces. These will damage the surfaces. If oven cleaner does get onto these surfaces, wipe it off immediately using water and a sponge. Do not rub the surface and do not use abrasive cleaning aids.

Start

Before setting the cleaning function, ensure that you have followed all instructions for preparation. Cleaning takes 1 hour. The duration cannot be changed.

1. Turn the function selector to CLEAN MODES.
2. Swipe to the left or right to select "Ecolytic Clean ™".
3. Touch the bottom line. The cleaning time with Ecolytic Clean is displayed.
4. Touch the bottom line. After a few seconds the appliance starts Ecolytic Clean. The remaining time appears on the display.

Keep the kitchen ventilated while the cleaning function is running.

As soon as the cleaning aid has run through, a signal sounds and the appliance ends the operation automatically

Once the Cleaning Function has Ended

• Once the oven cavity has cooled down, wipe down the oven cavity with a damp cloth if necessary.

Note: During operation and while the cleaning function is active, reddish patches may form on the surfaces. This is not rust, but food residues. These patches are not hazardous to your health and do not limit the cleaning capacity of the self-cleaning surfaces.

Easy Clean

• The Easy Clean function makes it easier to clean the oven floor. Food and food spills are soaked beforehand by vaporizing the vinegar solution. It can then be removed more easily.

WARNING - RISK OF SCALDING: Hot steam can arise due to water in the hot oven cavity. Never pour water into the hot oven cavity.

Setting

The "Easy Clean " function can only be started once the oven cavity is cold (room temperature) and the appliance door is closed. Do not open the appliance door during this operation. Doing this will interrupt the "Easy Clean " function.

1. Remove the accessories and racks from the oven cavity.
2. Turn the function selector to CLEAN MODES.
3. Swipe to the left or right to select "Easy Clean ".
4. Touch the bottom line. After a few seconds the appliance starts the Easy Clean function. The remaining time appears on the display.

Exit

• As soon as the cleaning function has run through, a signal sounds and the appliance ends the operation automatically.
• As soon as you open the appliance door, the interior lighting is switched on so that you can rinse the oven cavity more easily. The remaining water in the oven cavity must be removed promptly. Do not leave the remaining water in the oven cavity for a long time (e.g. overnight). The appliance must not be operated when the oven cavity is still wet or damp.

Subsequent Cleaning

1. Open the appliance door and remove the remaining water with an absorbent sponge cloth.
2. Clean the smooth surfaces in the oven cavity with a dish cloth or a soft brush. Stubborn residues can be removed using a soft scouring pad.
3. Remove limescale with a cloth soaked in vinegar. Then wipe with clean water and rub dry with a soft cloth (including under the door seal).
4. Turn the function selector to OFF.
5. Leave the appliance door ajar in the stop position (approx. 30°) for approx. one hour to allow the enamel surfaces in the oven cavity to dry thoroughly. Alternatively, you can also run the Drying function for the oven cavity.

Running the Drying Function for the Oven Cavity

1. Turn the function selector to CLEAN MODES.
2. Swipe to the left or right to select "Drying ª".
3. Touch the bottom line. After a few seconds the appliance starts Drying. The remaining time appears on the display.

As soon as the Drying function has run through, a signal sounds and the appliance ends the operation automatically.

Removing Heavy Food Deposits

You have several options for removing particularly stubborn food deposits.

• Leave the vinegar solution to work for some time before starting Easy Clean.
• Rub vinegar solution onto the food and food spills on the smooth surfaces before starting Easy Clean.
• Repeat the Easy Clean function after the oven cavity has cooled down.

Descale

The appliance must be descaled regularly in order for it to continue operating correctly.

There are several steps in the descaling program. For hygiene reasons, the descaling program must be run through completely so that the appliance can be ready for operation again. In total, the descaling program runs for approx. 70-90 minutes.

• Descale (approx. 55-70 minutes)
• First rinsing cycle (approx. 6-9 minutes)
• Second rinsing cycle (approx. 6-9 minutes)

If descaling is interrupted (for example, due to a power failure or because the appliance is switched off), you are prompted to rinse the appliance twice after it is switched back on. The appliance cannot be used until the second rinsing cycle comes to an end.

The frequency with which the appliance must be descaled depends on the hardness of the water used. When only five more steam-assisted operations are possible, or fewer, the appliance reminds you to descale it with a message on the display. The number of remaining operations is displayed after the appliance is switched on. You can therefore prepare for the descaling in good time.

Start

NOTICES

• Only use the descaler recommended by Thermador for the descaling program. Other descalers may damage the appliance. Descaler order no. 10008170
• If you have used a steam-assisted operation immediately before descaling, you must first switch the appliance off so that the residual water is pumped out of the evaporator system.
• Descaling solution: Do not allow the unmixed descaling chemicals or mixed solution to come into contact with the control panel or other surfaces on the appliance as prolonged exposure may cause damage to the surfaces. Immediately remove any descaler by rinsing with tap water.

1. Mix 32 fluid oz. (950 ml) of water with 1/2 bottle (approximately 200ml) of descale solution.

Note: Mix ratio may vary from packaging.
