Thermador® Unveils its Next Generation of Signature Wall Ovens

Inventor of the World’s First Built-in Wall Oven Introduces Contemporary Designs and Functionality in its New Masterpiece™ and Professional Series Lineups

(Orlando, FL – February 7, 2007) – Thermador, the luxury appliance brand, is introducing its latest collection of revolutionary wall ovens. Drawing upon its heritage and considerable expertise as the pioneer of the world’s first built-in wall oven, Thermador has created the chiseled Masterpiece™ and robust Professional Series ovens, both featuring distinctive designs and high-performance features.

“Thermador’s new wall ovens give a whole new meaning to cooking in style,” said Franz J. Bosshard, president and CEO. “These sophisticated ovens are sure to draw consumers in with their brilliant, luxurious designs as well high-performance features, such as our commercial grade rotisserie.”

Both oven lines feature state-of-the-art functionality that offers the ultimate in convenience, performance and versatility. For time-strapped consumers, the new Speed Convection mode reduces cooking time by up to 30% and is perfect for the quick, efficient preparation of frozen foods such as gourmet pizza or previously prepared casseroles—without preheating. Even when preheating is used, the exclusive lightning fast mode takes less than 7 minutes to reach 325 degrees Fahrenheit in True Convection—an industry best. The convenient EasyCook™ function uses 20 pre-programmed recipes to assist with convection cooking by automatically setting the correct temperature and cooking time. Consumers can also save their four favorite recipes for easy access. Additionally, the exclusive self-cleaning cycle completely cleans the entire oven cavity and rack supports in 2 hours—half the time of comparable models.


Masterpiece Series Wall Ovens
The Masterpiece Series wall ovens, with their chiseled angled edges and contemporary design, are truly 3-dimensional statements of Thermador’s bold new look. In addition to a massive oven cavity, the oven offers convenient features such as easy-to-use touch controls that operate the 16 different modes, including Sabbath mode, as well as Panel Lock, Pause and Info functions. Large, full-text displays, including a separate display for each oven in the double configurations, make viewing information a snap and prevent users from having to scroll to a separate display for each oven. CookSmart™ oven models, with technology that combines microwave and convection heating to cut down on cooking times by up to 50%, are also available in the Masterpiece Series.

Professional Series Wall Ovens
The Professional Series wall ovens feature a heavy-duty professional-style design with stainless steel knobs; an elegant, luxurious chronometer; and restaurant-style controls. In addition to its alluring appearance, the oven also offers unique performance capabilities, including a commercial grade, dishwasher-safe rotisserie. With two handles for easy lifting, it is the largest rotisserie on the market, and easily and evenly roasts large meats such as Thanksgiving turkeys while sealing in all the sumptuous flavors. In addition, the 5,000 watt Max Broil™ element—the most powerful in the industry—provides rapid, even heat to perfectly broil a variety of meats. The Professional Deluxe model features two displays for the meat probe temperature, timer and preheat monitor.


Other performance features in both oven lines include the hidden bake element, which increases oven capacity while facilitating cleaning; full-extension telescopic racks; and a sophisticated convection system that uses a powerful 2,000-watt element to ensure even heat distribution and allows for multi-rack cooking of a whole meal at once without flavor transfer between dishes.

Also, the ovens’ flexible configurations, including the exclusive triple oven combination, conveniently allow builders to complete installation of the oven, microwave and warming drawer all at once. Other flexible configurations include both series’ new double combination of a convection microwave and oven and the Masterpiece Series’ exclusive combination of a convection oven with a warming drawer. The oven lines will be available starting in April 2007 with an MSRP of $2,089-$5,499 (Masterpiece Series) and $3,299-$5,279 (Professional Series).
