JANUARY 2016 RETAILOBSERVER.COM 13 For the ovens, there is a choice of a Convection Oven alongside a Steam and Convection Oven and a Warming Drawer, ideal for those who want the healthier option of cooking with steam and more overall cooking options. This is the next level of the 48" Pro Grand ® Steam Range that was introduced in 2012, and is the only 60" range to offer a steam and convection oven. The other choice truly sets Thermador apart in the category. With convection cooking a mainstay in the professional kitchen for decades, it features a 36" Convection Oven, large enough to fit a full- sized catering tray, alongside a 30" Convection Oven. This impressive side-by-side combination provides more usable oven space than any other 60" pro-style range on the market – over 10.5 cubic feet. The massive 60" Pro Grand ® Ranges offer an incredible amount of cooking power no matter which cooking options are selected. They are large enough to feature three different cooking zones, enabling three people to comfortably cook on the appliance at once. Additionally, always with an eye on the designer, Thermador has incorporated innovative venting technology in the 60" Pro Grand ® Ranges to reduce back wall temperatures – making these the first pro-style ranges of this size that can be installed flush against a rear wall. To match the power of the new ranges, in July the brand will also introduce a 60" Professional ® Series Custom Hood Insert, which will integrate seamlessly within wall or island hood applications. It is designed to quietly and efficiently remove odor and steam with three fan speeds that can be selected with push-button controls, an auto function that senses heat from the cooking surface and adjusts fan speed accordingly, and Powerfully Quiet ® ventilation systems to ensure conversations in the kitchen will not be interrupted while the hood is on. "With our newly expanded cooking and cooling lines, we are confident Thermador offers the best array of personalized solutions for the homes of culinary enthusiasts, and will exceed their expectations," said Elkin. 100 Years of Real Innovations for Real Cooks Thermador is a brand that truly redefined what it means to have a kitchen designed for the culinary experience.
