Built-in DM Oven Care and Use Manual
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 potholder
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.
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.
SELF-CLEANING MODE SAFETY
•Confirm that the door locks and will not open before starting
self-clean mode. If door does not lock, do not run self-clean;
phone 800 / 735-4328 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.
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.
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.

Safety Precautions
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 off.
Condensation is a normal 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.
FOOD ITEM OR PROCESS
Home Canning
Drying
Foods with Nonporous
Skins or Shells
Popcorn
DO
• Pierce skins of potatoes, apples, whole
squash, hot dogs and sausages so that
steam can escape.
• Puncture whole egg yolks before cooking
to prevent bursting.
• Use popcorn packaged for microwave
ovens.
• Refer to popcorn package for popping
time. Set the time early to check popping.
• Place popcorn package on a microwavesafe dish.
DON’T
• Heat, cook or can in closed glass jars or air
tight containers.
• Home can in the microwave as harmful bacteria
may not be destroyed.
• Use brown paper bags or glass bowls to pop
corn in.
• Place popcorn package on oven rack or oven
bottom.
Baby Food/Baby Formula
General
• Place baby food in a small dish and heat
gently, stir often, and check temperature
before serving.
• Place nipples/cap on bottles after heating
and shake thoroughly. Always “wrist test”
before feeding.
• When using oven cooking bags, use
plastic ties or cotton string to close bag.
• Stir liquids before and after heating to
help prevent “eruption.”
• Baked items with fillings should be cut
open to allow steam to escape and avoid
burns.
• Pizza sauce can become extremely hot.
Check temperatures before eating.
5
• Heat baby food in the original jars.
• Heat bottles with nipples on.
• Heat bottles with disposable liners.
• Use wire twist-tie to close an oven cooking
bag.
• Deep fat fry.
• Use paper towels or cloths that contain a
synthetic fiber woven into them (the fiber may
cause the towel to ignite).

Oven Features
The following illustrations 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 concealed under the oven floor.
Built-in DM Oven Care and Use Manual
Heating Modes Available in Each Oven
BAKE, PROOF or WARM
Baking is cooking with heated air. Both upper and lower elements are used to heat the
air and cycle to maintain 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 temperature.
ROAST
Roast has more top heat than bake. This
additional top heat is for conventional open
roasting when drippings are desired or for
covered-dish roasting.
CONVECTION or
DEHYDRATE
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.
Dehydrate is similar to convection cooking
and holds an optimum low temperature while
circulating the heated air to remove moisture slowly for food preservation.
CONVECTION BAKE
Convection Bake has heat from the upper
and lower element with circulation assisted
by the convection fan. This mode is designed for breads and pastries.
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.
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 excellent top browning or searing.

Oven Features
Built-in DM Oven Care and Use Manual
Microwave Modes available only in Single or Upper Ovens
The following illustrations give an overview of the heating activity with each mode setting. The arrows
represent the heat source for specific cooking modes.
Cooksmart™ – This mode combines pre-programmed microwave
energy and convection temperatures. Cooksmart™ settings cook in
approximately one-half the standard cooking time. See Pages 15 –
22 for operation.
MICROWAVE – 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.
DEFROST – Power level is programmed in control. Microwave
energy only. See pages 32 and 33 for operation.
MICROBROIL – This mode combines microwave and broil settings. The intense heat from the upper element gives excellent topbrowning and microwaves shorten the total cooking time. Microbroil
is best for tender meat, poultry and fish that is more than 1
inches thick. See Pages 28 – 29 for operation.

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 PREHEAT to 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° F when 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.
Built-in DM Oven Care and Use Manual
•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 “Solving 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 mechanical thermostat that drifted

Oven Racks
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.
•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.

•This mode is not recommended for stuffed poultry.
•A basting sauce keeps the outside skin moist.
•If roasting bags are used, cook time may need to be increased.
•Marinate boneless, skinless chicken breasts up 24 hours before
cooking (for best results, marinate at least 30 minutes).
Fish should be removed from
oven when fish flakes with a
fork. Remove small pieces that
may cook faster. Thin ends of
fillets should be folded under
to make pieces as uniform in
shape as possible.
•Small pieces of aluminum foil may be used to cover poultry

•Quantity – Larger food items will cook faster than smaller food
items. A small amount of food, i.e. 4 Tbsp. butter, will take longer
to heat because the oven cavity is large compared to the small
amount of food.
•Content – Food with higher fat, sugar and liquid contents cook
faster than those with lower contents. For example, eggs, cheese,
mayonnaise, etc. cook very quickly.
•Density – A nonporous food, such as roast, takes longer to cook
than a porous food such as bread.

Defrosting Tips and Recommendations
•Defrost uncooked meat, fish and poultry using the DEFROST mode.
•Defrost mode is programmed using 30% microwave power.
•No thermal heat is used during DEFROST mode.
•The convection fan also runs during the DEFROST mode to help speed up defrosting.
•Center items on rack level 3 when defrosting.
•Remove store wrap and place in a shallow microwaveable container to catch juices.
•Use the chart below as a guide for determining defrosting time.
•When calculating defrosting time, allow 4 to 5 minutes per pound.
•Oven will pause automatically for rotating or turning food.
•Add more time in one minute increments until food is defrosted.
•Allow meat to stand covered after removing from oven to complete defrosting.
•Casseroles, sauced foods, vegetables and soups should be defrosted using HI (100%) microwave power level. Stir once or
twice during defrosting to redistribute heat.

Bake Mode Tips
•Preheat when using the Bake mode.
•Baking time will vary with the size, shape and finish of the
baking utensil. Dark metal pans or nonstick coatings will cook
faster with darker results. Insulated bakeware will lengthen the
cooking time for most foods.
•For best results, bake food on a single rack with at least 1
space between pans or dishes and oven walls.
-1
•Use a maximum of 2 racks when selecting the bake mode.
Stagger pans so that one is not directly above another.
•To reduce heat loss, avoid opening the oven door. Whenever
possible, check food through the window.
•Do not use any aluminum foil or a disposable aluminum tray to
/2"
line any part of the oven. This will alter the cooking performance
and can damage the finish of the oven.
Bake Mode 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

•Use Roast mode for conventional open roasting when drippings
are desired.
•Roast mode is excellent for less tender meats or poultry when
meat is braised and a covered dish is used.
•Use a high-sided roasting pan or cover dish with a lid or foil.
•This may be used to roast meats, poultry and vegetables, which
would normally be covered or cooked in a high-sided open
roaster.
•Add liquids, such as water, juice, wine, bouillon or stock for
flavor and moisture.
•Roasting bags are suitable to use in this mode.
•When roasting whole chickens or turkey, tuck wings behind
back and loosely tie legs with kitchen string.

Broil and Convection Broil Tips
•Place rack at the rack level needed before turning on the oven.
•Start broiling with a cool oven and broiler pan.
•Brush fish and lean cuts of meat with vegetable oil before broiling
to prevent sticking.
•Start fish with skin side up.
•Start poultry with skin side down.
•Turn food once halfway through the total cooking time. Thicker
cuts of meat or poultry can be turned more often.
Utensils:
•Slotted top grid on broiler pan lets fat drip away from the upper
heating element; this reduces spattering and smoking.
•When top browning casseroles or toasting bread, use only metal
or glass-ceramic (Pyroceram®) such as Corningware
bakeware.
•Never use heatproof glass (Pyrex®) or pottery; they cannot
