2  Preventing material damage

2.1 General

ATTENTION!

Alcoholic vapours may catch fire in the hot cooking
compartment and cause permanent damage to the ap­pliance. The appliance door may spring open due to
an explosion and it may fall off. The door panels may
shatter and fragment. Due to the resulting negative
pressure, the cooking compartment may become con­siderably deformed inwards.

▶ Do not heat spirits (≥ 15% vol.) when undiluted (e.g.

for marinating or pouring over food).
If there is water on the cooking compartment floor
when operating the appliance at temperatures above
120°C, this will damage the enamel.

▶ Do not use the appliance if there is water on the

cooking compartment floor.

▶ Wipe away any water on the cooking compartment

floor before operation.
Objects on the cooking compartment floor at over
50°C will cause heat to build up. The baking and
roasting times will no longer be correct and the enamel
will be damaged.

▶ Do not place any accessories, greaseproof paper or

foil of any kind on the cooking compartment floor.

▶ Only place cookware on the cooking compartment

floor if a temperature under 50°C has been set.
When the cooking compartment is hot, any water in­side it will create steam. The change in temperature
may cause damage.

▶ Never pour water into the cooking compartment

when it is still hot.

▶ Never place cookware containing water on the

cooking compartment floor.
The prolonged presence of moisture in the cooking
compartment leads to corrosion.

▶ Allow the cooking compartment to dry after use. To

do this, open the cooking compartment door com-

pletely or use the drying function.

▶ Do not keep moist food in the cooking compartment

for a long time with the door closed.

▶ Do not store food in the cooking compartment.
▶ Take care not to trap anything in the appliance

door.
Fruit juice dripping from the baking tray leaves stains
that cannot be removed.

▶ When baking very juicy fruit flans, do not pack too

much on the baking tray.

▶ If possible, use the deeper universal pan.

Microwave energy will escape from appli­ances that do not have any casing.

▶ Never remove the casing.
▶ Contact our after-sales service if mainten-

ance or repair work is needed.

Using oven cleaner in a hot cooking compartment
damages the enamel.

▶ Never use oven cleaner in the cooking compartment

when it is still warm.

▶ Remove all food remnants from the cooking com-

partment and the appliance door before you next

heat up the appliance.
If the seal is very dirty, the appliance door will no
longer close properly during operation. This may dam­age the front of adjacent kitchen units.

▶ Keep the seal clean at all times.
▶ Never operate the appliance if the seal is damaged

or missing.
Sitting or placing objects on the appliance door may
damage it.

▶ Do not place, hang or support objects on the appli-

ance door.

▶ Do not place cookware or accessories on the appli-

ance door.
With certain models, accessories may scratch the door
pane when closing the appliance door.

▶ Always push accessories fully into the cooking com-

partment.
If aluminium foil comes into contact with the door pane,
it could cause permanent discolouration.

▶ Do not allow aluminium foil in the cooking compart-

ment to come into contact with the door pane.

2.2 Microwave

Follow these instructions when using the microwave.

ATTENTION!

Metal touching the wall of the cooking compartment
will cause sparks, which may damage the appliance or
the inner door pane.

▶ Metal (e.g. a spoon in a glass) must be kept at least

2cm from the cooking compartment walls and the

inside of the door.
Using accessories directly on top of one another
causes sparks.

▶ Do not combine the wire rack with the universal

pan.

▶ Always place accessories on different levels.

The universal pan and baking tray are not suitable for
use with microwave-only mode. Using either of these
may create sparks, which will damage the cooking
compartment.

▶ Place accessories on the wire rack supplied.

Placing aluminium containers in the appliance may
cause sparks, which will damage the appliance.

▶ Do not use aluminium containers in the appliance.

6

Environmental protection and saving energy en

Operating the appliance without food in the cooking
compartment may lead to overloading.

▶ Do not switch on the microwave unless there is food

inside. The only exception to this rule is when per­forming a short cookware test.

If you prepare microwave popcorn at a microwave
power level that is too high, the door pane may crack
due to overloading.

▶ Never set a microwave power level that is too high.
▶ Use a maximum microwave output of 600 watts.
▶ Always place the popcorn bag on a glass plate.

3  Environmental protection and saving energy

3.1 Disposing of packaging

The packaging materials are environmentally compat­ible and can be recycled.

▶

Sort the individual components by type and dispose
of them separately.

3.2 Saving energy

If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use
less power.

Only preheat the appliance if the recipe or the recom­mended settings tell you to do so.
→"How it works", Page29

Not preheating the appliance can reduce the en-

¡

ergy used by up to 20%.

Use dark-coloured, black-coated or enamelled baking
tins.

These types of baking tin absorb the heat particu-

¡

larly well.

Open the appliance door as little as possible during
operation.

This maintains the temperature in the cooking com-

¡

partment and eliminates the need for the appliance
to reheat.

When baking multiple dishes, do so in succession or
in parallel.

The cooking compartment is heated after baking

¡

the first dish. This reduces the baking time for the
second cake.

If the cooking time is relatively long, you can switch
the appliance off 10minutes before the cooking time
ends.

There will be enough residual heat to finish cooking

¡

the dish.

Remove any accessories that are not being used from
the cooking compartment.

Accessories that are not being used do not need to

¡

be heated.

Allow frozen food to defrost before cooking.

This saves the energy that would otherwise be re-

¡

quired to defrost it.

Switch off the display in the basic settings.
→"Basic settings", Page19

Energy is saved when the display is switched off.

¡

Heat two glasses or cups of liquid at the same time.

Heating several dishes at the same time requires

¡

less energy than heating dishes one after the other.

Note:

The appliance requires:

¡ A maximum of2W in networked standby mode
¡ A maximum of 0.5W in non-networked standby

mode with the display switched off

What it's used for and how it works

The fan in the back panel of the oven distributes the heat evenly
throughout the cooking compartment.

especially good for cakes with moist toppings.
The heat is emitted evenly from above and below.

The fan in the back panel of the oven distributes the heat evenly
throughout the cooking compartment. The food is cooked in
phases using residual heat.
Always keep the appliance door closed when cooking.
This type of heating is used to determine the energy consump­tion in air recirculation mode and the energy efficiency class.

for food that is usually fried in oil, e.g. chips.

Heat is emitted from above and below.
This type of heating is used to measure the energy consumption
in the conventional mode.

The grill element and the fan switch on and off alternately. The
fan circulates the hot air around the food.

Grill flat items such as sausages, or make toast. Gratinate food.
The entire area below the grill element becomes hot.

Grill small quantities such as sausages, or make toast. Gratinate
small quantities of food.
The central area below the grill element becomes hot.

The heat is emitted from below.

5.2 Temperature

With most types of heating , you can read the current
temperature in the cooking compartment from ap­prox.30°C and the set temperature side-by-side on
the display during heating, e.g.120|210°C.
When you are preheating the appliance, the optimal
time to place the food in the cooking compartment is
as soon as the displayed temperature in the cooking
compartment and the set temperature are the same.

Note:Due to thermal inertia, the temperature that is
displayed may differ slightly from the actual temperat­ure inside the cooking compartment.

Residual heat indicator

When the appliance is switched off, a red line around
the control ring indicates the residual heat in the cook­ing compartment. The further the temperature drops,
the darker the ring. The ring goes out completely at ap­prox. 60°C.

10  Microwave

You can use the microwave to cook, heat up, bake or
defrost food very quickly.

10.1 Cookware and accessories with microwave

To heat food evenly and avoid damaging your appli­ance, it is important to only use the right cookware and
accessories.
Follow the cookware manufacturer's instructions.
Unless otherwise specified, place the cookware and
accessory on level 1.

Microwave-safe cookware

Cookware made from heat-resistant, microwave-safe
material:

¡ Glass

¡ Glass ceramic
¡ Porcelain
¡ Temperature-resistant plastic
¡ Fully glazed ceramic without cracks
¡ Serving dishes

Only use cookware with decorative gold or silver
trim if the manufacturer guarantees its suitability for
microwave use.

¡ Supplied wire rack

In microwave-only operation, sheets and trays, e.g.
the universal pan or the baking tray, may create
sparks and are not suitable.

These materials allow microwaves to pass through and
are not damaged.

15

en Microwave

Cookware that is not microwave-safe
Note:Observe the specifications for preventing mater-

ial damage.
→"Microwave", Page6

¡ Metal cookware and bakeware

Microwaves cannot pass through metal. The food is
barely heated or not heated at all. Metal may create
sparks in microwave-only operation.

Cookware when adding microwave to an operating
mode

If you switch on the microwave for another operating
mode, metal is also an option, in addition to
microwave-safe cookware and accessories:
¡ Metal cookware and bakeware

Metal must be kept at least 2cm from the cooking
compartment walls and the inside of the door.
Always place metal cookware or bakeware in the
centre of the supplied wire rack.

¡ Accessories supplied:

Wire rack
Universal pan
Baking tray

Testing cookware for microwave suitability

If you are unsure whether your cookware is suitable for
use in the microwave, carry out a cookware test.

ATTENTION!

Operating the appliance without food in the cooking
compartment may lead to overloading.

▶ Do not switch on the microwave unless there is food

inside. The only exception to this rule is when per­forming a short cookware test.

WARNING‒Risk of burns!

The accessible parts of the appliance become hot dur­ing operation.

▶ Never touch these hot parts.
▶ Keep children at a safe distance.

1.

Place the empty cookware in the cooking compart­ment.

2.

Set the appliance to run for 30 seconds to 1 minute
at maximum power.

3.

Start the operation.

4.

Check the cookware several times:

‒ If the cookware remains cold or warm to the

touch, it is suitable for microwave use.

‒ If the cookware becomes hot or sparks are cre-

ated, stop the cookware test. The cookware is
not microwave-safe.

10.2 Setting options with the microwave

The microwave can be used on its own, or in combina­tion with a different operating mode.

Microwave-only operation

The electromagnetic waves of the microwave alone
generate energy and this is converted into heat in food,
for example.

Added microwave

Adding the microwave to an operating mode reduces
the cooking time.
You can combine the microwave with the following
functions:
¡ Types of heating →Page13

– 2Dhot air

26  How it works

Here, you can find the ideal settings for various types
of food as well as the best accessories and cookware.
We have perfectly tailored these recommendations to
your appliance.

Tip:A lot of other information about the food prepara­tion and corresponding adjustment values can be
found in the HomeConnect app or on our website
www.bosch-home.com.

26.1 General cooking tips

Take note of the following information when cooking all
types of food.
¡ The temperature and cooking time depend on the

amount of food and the recipe. Settings ranges are
specified for this reason. Try using the lower values
to start with.

¡ The setting values apply to food placed in the cook-

ing compartment while the cooking compartment is
still cold. If you want to preheat anyway, do not
place accessories into the cooking compartment un­til it has finished preheating.

¡ Remove any accessories that are not being used

from the cooking compartment.

26.2 Baking tips

¡ Dark-coloured metal baking tins are most suitable

for baking cakes, bread and other baked goods.

¡ Use wide, shallow cookware for bakes and gratins.

Food takes longer to cook in deep, narrow cook­ware and it browns more on top.

¡ If you are cooking bakes directly in the universal

pan, place the universal pan into the cooking com­partment at level1.

¡ The setting values for bread dough apply to both

dough placed on a baking tray and dough placed in
a loaf tin.

¡ The recommended settings for baking in combina-

tion with the microwave mode are for metal baking
tins.

ATTENTION!

When the cooking compartment is hot, any water in­side it will create steam. The change in temperature
may cause damage.

▶ Never pour water into the cooking compartment

when it is still hot.

▶ Never place cookware containing water on the

cooking compartment floor.

Shelf positions

If you are baking on one level, use shelf position 1.

26.3 Roasting, braising and grilling tips

¡ The recommended settings are for fridge-temperat-

ure food and unstuffed, oven-ready poultry.

¡ Place the poultry onto the cookware breast-side or

skin-side down.

¡ Turn roasting joints, grilled items or whole fish after

approx. ½ to ⅔ of the specified time.

Roasting on the wire rack

Food roasted on the wire rack will become very crispy
on all sides. You can roast large poultry, for example,
or multiple individual pieces at the same time.
¡ Roast pieces of a similar weight and thickness. The

grilled food will brown evenly and will remain succu­lent and juicy.

¡ Place the food to be roasted directly on the wire

rack.

¡ To catch any liquids that drip down, place the uni-

versal pan into the cooking compartment one level
below the wire rack.

29

en How it works

¡ Add up to ½litre of water to the universal pan, de-

pending on the size and type of food that you want
to roast.
You can make a sauce from the juices that are col­lected. This also means that less smoke is pro­duced and the cooking compartment does not be­come as dirty.

Roasting in cookware

If you cover the cookware when you cook your food,
this will keep the cooking compartment cleaner.

General information about roasting in cookware

¡ Use heat-resistant, ovenproof cookware.
¡ Place the cookware on the wire rack.
¡ Glass cookware is best.
¡ Follow the manufacturer's instructions for your roast-

ing dishes.

Roasting in uncovered cookware

¡ Use a deep roasting dish.
¡ If you do not have any suitable cookware, you can

use the universal pan.

Roasting in covered cookware

¡ Use a suitable lid that seals well.
¡ When roasting meat, there should be at least 3cm

between the food and the lid. The meat may ex­pand.

WARNING‒Risk of scalding!

Very hot steam may escape when the lid is opened
after cooking. Steam may not be visible, depending on
the temperature.

▶ Lift the lid in such a way that the hot steam can es-

cape away from you.

▶ Keep children away from the appliance.

Grilling

Grill food if you want it to be crispy.

ATTENTION!

Acidic food may damage the grid

▶ Do not place acidic food, such as fruit or food with

an acidic marinade directly on the pan support.

Information for those allergic to nickel
In rare cases, small amounts of nickel may pass into
the food.
The "Grill" type of heating is good for cooking thinner
pieces of poultry, meat and fish such as steaks, drum­sticks and burgers. It is also excellent for toasting
bread.
Circulated air grilling is very well suited to cooking
whole poultry and fish, as well as meat, e.g. roast pork
with crackling.
¡ When grilling several food items, choose pieces that

are of a similar weight and thickness. The grilled
food will brown evenly and will remain succulent
and juicy.

¡ Place the food to be grilled directly onto the wire

rack.

¡ To catch any liquids that drip down, place the uni-

versal pan into the cooking compartment at least
one level below the wire rack.

Notes

¡ The grill element switches on and off continuously.

This is normal. The grill setting that you use determ-

ines how frequently this occurs.
¡ Smoke may be produced when grilling.

26.4 Microwave cooking

If you cook food using the microwave mode, you can
reduce the cooking time considerably.

General information

¡ When using the microwave mode, the cooking time

is determined based on the total weight.

If you want to cook a quantity that differs from the

specified quantity, the general rule is Double the

quantity requires just under double the cooking

time.

¡ The food transfers heat to the cookware. The cook-

ware may become very hot.
¡ The main part of the instruction manual contains in-

formation on how to configure the microwave and

microwave boost oven settings.

Page34

Cooking, braising or steaming using the microwave mode

¡ Use microwave-safe cookware with a lid. Alternat-

ively, you can use a plate or special microwaveable

film to cover the dish.
¡ For cereal products, e.g. rice, use deep cookware

with a lid. Cereal products foam a lot during cook-

ing. Add liquid in accordance with the instructions

and information provided in the recommended set-

tings tables.
¡ Do not wash or dry food. Add 1-3 tablespoons of

water or lemon juice to the food.
¡ Spread the food out so that as much of it as pos-

sible is in contact with the bottom of the cookware.

Food that is in contact with the bottom will cook

more quickly than food that is piled up.
¡ Use salt and seasoning sparingly. When cooking

food using the microwave mode, most of the food's

natural flavour will be retained.

¡ Turn or stir the food 2-3times during cooking.
¡ After cooking, leave the food to rest for 2-3minutes.

26.5 Cooking instructions for ready meals

¡ The cooking result greatly depends on the quality of

the food. Pre-browning and irregularities may

already be present in the food before cooking.
¡ Do not use frozen products that are covered with a

thick layer of ice. Remove any ice on the food.

¡ Take ready meals out of the packaging.
¡ If you are warming or cooking the ready meal in

cookware, make sure that the cookware is heat-res-

istant.

30

How it works en

¡ Distribute foods that are in the form of separate

pieces, such as bread rolls and potato products, so
that they are spread out flat and evenly on the ac­cessory. Leave a little space between the individual
pieces.

¡ Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the pack-

aging.

¡ If the packaging specifies a different value than can

be selected on the appliance, use the next lowest
wattage setting on the appliance. To achieve the
same results, increase the cooking time.

26.7 Special cooking methods and other applications

Information and recommended settings for special
cooking methods and other applications, e.g. slow
cooking.

Air Fry

Cook food with Air Fry until crispy and with little fat. Air
Fry is particularly suitable for meals that are normally
fried in oil.

Cooking tips for Air Fry

Observe this information when cooking food with Air
Fry.
¡ Only one level can be used when cooking with Air

Fry.

¡ The Air Fry accessory makes food crispier. If the Air-

Fry accessory is not included with the appliance as
standard, you can obtain the Air-Fry accessory as
an optional accessory.

40-45 - 8–9 hrs

¡ Do not preheat the oven.
¡ Do not use greaseproof paper. The air must circu-

late in the cooking compartment.

¡ Do not defrost frozen food.
¡ Cover the Air-Fry accessory or the universal pan

evenly with the food. If possible, only distribute the
food on the accessory in a single layer.

¡ Insert the accessory into the cooking compartment

at level 2. If you use the Air Fry accessory, you can
insert an empty universal pan at level 1 to protect
against dirt.

¡ Turn the food halfway through cooking. If you are

cooking larger quantities, turn the food twice.

Tip:Do not season the food until after you have
cooked it. This makes the food crispier.
Breaded vegetables are also suitable for cooking with
Air Fry. To save fat, use a sprayer to spray the coating
with oil. This forms a crispy crust with little fat.

Defrosting

You can defrost frozen food in your appliance.

¡ Defrosting works best if you divide it into more than

one step. The steps are listed one after the other in
the recommended settings tables.

Tips for defrosting food

¡ You can use the "microwave" mode to defrost

frozen fruit, vegetables, poultry, meat, fish or baked
goods.

¡ Remove frozen food from its packaging before you

defrost it.

¡ Use heat-resistant, microwave-safe cookware.
¡ The recommended settings are for freezer-temperat-

ure food (-18°C).

¡ Stir or turn the food 1-2times during defrosting.

Turn large items several times. Split the food into
smaller pieces as it defrosts.
Remove pieces that have already defrosted from the
cooking compartment.

¡ Once the food has defrosted, switch off the appli-

ance and leave the food in the appliance for another
10 to 30minutes to allow the temperature to equal­ise.

Warming up food using the microwave mode

You can use the microwave mode to warm up food or
to defrost and warm up food in a single step.

34

Tips for warming up food using the microwave mode

¡ Use microwave-safe cookware with a lid.
¡ Turn or stir the food 2-3times during warming.
¡ After warming up the food, leave it to rest for

1-2minutes.

How it works en

¡ The food transfers heat to the cookware. The cook-

ware can become very hot.

¡ Make sure that you do the following when you are

warming up baby food:
– Place bottles on the wire rack without the teat or

lid.

– Shake or stir the baby food well after warming it

up.

– Always check the temperature of the baby food.

¡ Wipe the cooking compartment dry after using it to

warm up food.

WARNING‒Risk of scalding!

There is a possibility of delayed boiling when a liquid is
heated. This means that the liquid reaches the boiling
temperature without the usual steam bubbles rising to
the surface. Exercise caution even when only gently
shaking the container. The hot liquid may suddenly boil
over and splatter.

▶ Always place a spoon in the container when heating

liquids. This prevents delayed boiling.

ATTENTION!

Metal touching the wall of the cooking compartment
will cause sparks, which may damage the appliance or
the inner door pane.

▶ Metal (e.g. a spoon in a glass) must be kept at least

2cm from the cooking compartment walls and the
inside of the door.
