PROFESSIONAL SERIES RANGETOPS FEATURES & BENEFITS EXTRALOW® Our ExtraLow feature provides the widest variety of temperature control of any simmer system. It cycles the Star Burner on and off to maintain temperatures as low as 100°. Perfect for simmering delicate sauces or keeping food warm without scorching or stirring. Each and every Thermador Pro Rangetop features two ExtraLow burners. 18,000 BTU/HR ON EVERY BURNER Delivers superior cooking flexibility by offering maximum heat output on every burner. Leading competitors offer only one or two powerful burners. OUR EXCLUSIVE, PATENTED STAR® BURNER The Star Burner's unique shape isn't just for show. It creates a perimeter 56% longer than a round burner of the same size, which allows the inclusion of more flame ports. The result is a burner that delivers superior flame spread and a reduced cold spot for faster and more even heating across any size pan. And this latest generation features a more stylish shape and a raised pedestal design for easier cleaning than ever before. The Star Burner's coverage area allows for more ports and more flame distribution than a round burner. 35 ports / 16 3/4" perimeter 28 ports / 10 3/4" perimeter The design of the Star Burner offers greater heat coverage, and a smaller cold spot, making it ideal for any pan size. QUICK CLEAN BASE™ Raised pedestal burner and porcelain maintop have been crafted for perfect integration and easy cleanup. A hand and sponge fit easily under each burner to wipe the surface clean and a teardrop emboss reduces food buildup near the base. FASTEST TIME TO BOIL Our Star Burner's 18,000 BTU/hr of output and superior heat distribution boils water in a fraction of the time of a conventional range or cooktop and over 50% faster than leading competitors. MULTIPLE CONFIGURATIONS Configure the rangetop to match the way you cook, by adding a 12-inch castaluminum titanium-surface electric griddle or an optional grill accessory. Griddle and grill are removable for easy clean-up of the entire cooking surface. 62
