Thermador's convection warming drawer and microwave reflect the breadth of convection cooking options offered by the premier luxury appliance brand. The flush mounted warming drawer features a digital touch display with four temperature settings and an exclusive five-hour timer and Sabbath mode. The 400 watt convection option is perfect for the quick and efficient pre-heating of dishes prior to usage, while the 600 watt warming plate offers an exclusive glass-ceramic surface that has a 30-pass element spanning the entire unit. This can be used for direct and even heating of food at the desired temperature before serving. In addition, the uniquely designed telescopic drawer has no side walls, making it easier to load and unload heavy food items. This smart design contributed to the warming drawer's 2007 Platinum Award for Design Excellence (ADEX) from Design Journal and 2006 Good Design Award from the Chicago Athenaeum.
