New Thermador Wall Ovens Featured at Builders' Show

In celebration of its 75th anniversary, Thermador (Booth W759) will be featuring two new lines of wall ovens at the International Builders’ Show — the Professional and Masterpiece Series.

The manufacturer forever changed the face of the American kitchen more than five decades ago with the introduction of the world’s first built-in ovens.

The new Professional wall ovens feature a heavy-duty professional-style with stainless steel knobs and an elegant, luxurious chronometer, as well as a unique dishwasher-safe rotisserie, the largest on the market, with two handles for easy lifting.

With chiseled angular edges and a contemporary design, the Masterpiece ovens feature a massive oven cavity and an array of 17 different cooking modes, including the new Speed Convection mode, which is also available in the Professional Series.

A new EasyCook function assists with convection cooking and includes 20 pre-programmed recipes. Users can also save their four favorite recipes in the ovens’ program for easy access.

Both new wall oven lines feature an exclusive two-hour rapid self-clean cycle that even cleans the oven racks and supports.

The Masterpiece ovens are available in seven different configurations, offering the ultimate in design flexibility.

Thermador is owned by BSH Home Appliance Corporation, which is a member of the National Council of the Housing Industry — The Supplier 100 of NAHB.
