About Your Oven
Above you will find an illustration of a Bosch
oven showing the components of the oven.
This manual covers the complete line of Bosch
single and double ovens so some of the features
described may not be available on your oven.
Convection element (not visible)
and fan located on back of oven
cavity (Convection Models Only)
114193-2
Each level guide consists of paired supports
formed in the sidewalls on each side of the oven
cavity.
The rack should be positioned within the paired
supports. Each oven is provided with the following parts and utensils, see Figure 2:
• Rack(s)
Cooling Fan
All the ovens whether convection type or thermal
type have a cooling fan to cool the control panel.
You may hear this fan continue to run after cooking and/or cleaning has been completed.
The fan will run as long as the oven is hot and the
oven’s function selector is turned to any position
other than “Off”. This is normal operation.
Rack Positions
The oven has rack guides at four levels as shown
in the illustration.
4
Always be sure to position the oven racks, etc. before turning the oven on.
Make sure that the rack(s) are level once they are
in position.
To remove oven rack from the oven, lift rack at
front and lift out.
To replace oven rack:
1.Place rear of rack between the rack level
guides.
2.While lifting front of rack, slide rack in all
the way, then lower front.
Please refer to illustration if there is any
question as to which side is the front of the
rack.
Baking Elements
The Bosch oven uses two baking elements: one
located at the top of the oven and the second located below the floor of oven cavity to provide
ease in cleaning the oven cavity.
Figure 2.
Broiling Elements
The broiling elements of the Bosch ovens are located at the top of the oven cavity.
Do not touch the heating elements or let potholders touch the broiler elements.
Never use a towel or bulky cloth for a potholder;
they could catch on fire.
Convection Element
If you have purchased one of the convection oven
models you will find the convection element (not
visible) and fan located at the back of the oven
cavity.
This element and fan combination performs the
cooking when in the convection bake mode.
When in any of the convection modes the fan is
on, see Table 3.
tion of a conventional thermal oven many are unclear as to how a convection oven works or in
what ways it is superior to a conventional thermal
oven.
Below you will find a brief explanation of how a
convection oven works and its advantages.
In Bosch Ovens, the Genuine European Convection system (the 3 elements, fan and venting
panel) circulates even, heated air throughout the
oven. This process:
• Seals in juices and flavor
• Provides even baking and browning
• Saves time and energy
• Baking on multiple levels at the same time
• Dehydrates herbs, fruits and vegetables
• Bakes whole meals at once with no flavor
transfer
• Thaws evenly
The Bosch cookbook provides many helpful tips
and a description of each cooking cycle. It also
has many recipes for each cycle to help you enjoy
your new oven.
Many of your own recipes have time and temperature instruction for the regular bake cycle. As a
rule, most of these recipes can be cooked with
better results in one of the convection cycles. In
general, to convert standard recipes for use in
convection, you reduce the temperature by about
25°F and check for doneness at the minimum suggested cooking time.
When baking on more than 1 rack it may be necessary to increase the cooking time a few minutes
for each additional rack. As individual tastes vary,
you may find you need to adjust the time and temperature to achieve desired results.
You may feel your new oven cooks differently
than your old oven. We recommend you use the
various cooking cycles for a few months and refer
to the Bosch Cookbook to become more familiar
with it.
We do not recommend you use oven thermometers found at many grocery stores to check oven
temperature. They may be inaccurate and are slow
to respond to temperature changes.
About Convection Ovens
Both the single ovens and double ovens are available as either conventional thermal ovens or as
convection ovens.
Although most people are familiar with the opera-

not rise properly if cooked in this way. Also,
please keep in mind that the time required for the
oven to come up to temperature must be included
in the cooking time. In most cases this means that
approximately 10 minutes should be added to the
cooking time. A preheat time is usually not necessary for convection function, but in all cases follow your recipe.
Figure 9.
