IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING - When using this appliance, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce
the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury to persons, including the following.
I. Read All Instruction Before Using the Oven.
2. Proper Installation - Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified
technician. Have the installer show you where the fuse or breaker box is located and how to turn
off the power to the oven.
3. Do Not Operate the Oven if it is Damaged or Not Working Properly.
4. Never Use Your Appliance for Warming or Heating the Room.
5. Do Not Leave Children Alone - Children should not be left alone or unattended in area where the
appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
6. Do Not Touch Heating Elements or Interior Surfaces of Oven - Heating elements may be hot
even though they are dark in color. Interior surfaces of the oven, including racks become hot
enough to cause serious bums. Do not touch or let clothing or other flammable material come into
contact with the heating elements or interior surfaces or racks of the oven during or immediately
after use. Allow the oven to cool.
7. Wear Proper Apparel - Loose-fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using the
appliance. Fabric may ignite and result in personal injury.
8. Use Only Dry Potholders - Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from
steam. Do not let potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
9. User Servicing - Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recom-
mended in the manual. All other service should be referred to a qualified technician.
10. Storage in or on Appliance - Flammable materials should not be stored in an oven or near sur-
face units,
11. Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires - Smother fire or flame or use dry chemical or foam type ex-
tinguisher.
12. Use Care When Opening Door - Let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food.
13. Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers - Build-up of pressure may cause container to burst
and result in injury.
14. Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed
15. Placement of Oven Racks - Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If
rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact hot heating element in oven.
16. Do Not Clean Door Gasket - The door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken
not to rub, damage, or move gasket.
17. Do Not Use Oven Cleaners - No commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any
kind should be used in or around any part of the oven.
18, Clean Only Parts Listed in Manual

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.
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 cook-
ing 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.
Each level guide consists of paired supports
formed in the sidewalls on each side of the oven
cavity.
The rack or support should be positioned within
the paired supports. Each oven is provided with
the following parts and utensils, see Figure 2:
• Anti-splash pan cover
• Broiler pan
• Pan support
• Rack(s)
Always be sure to position the oven racks, sup-
ports, etc. before turning the oven on. Make sure
that the rack(s) are level once they are in position.
To remove oven rack or pan support from the
oven, lift rack/support at front and lift out.
To replace oven rack or pan support:
1. Place rear of rack or support between the
rack level guides.
.
While lifting front of rack, slide rack or sup-
port in all the way, then lower front.
Please refer to illustration if there is any
question as to which side is the front of
either the rack or the support.

Baking Elements
The Bosch oven uses two baking elements: one
located at the top of the oven and the second lo-
cated below the floor of oven cavity to provide
ease in cleaning the oven cavity.

Broiling Elements
The broiling elements of the Bosch ovens are lo-
cated 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 per-
forms the cooking when in the convection bake
mode. When in any of the convection modes the
fan is on, see Table 3.
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 Convec-
tion TM 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 enclosed Bosch cookbook provides many
helpful tips and a description of each cooking cy-
cle. It also has many recipes for each cycle to help
you enjoy your new oven. Many of your own reci-
pes have time and temperature instruction for the
regular bake cycle. As a rule, most of these reci-
_es 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 tem-
perature by about 25°F and check for doneness at
the minimum suggested cooking time. When bak-
ing on more than 1 rack it may be necessary to in-
crease the cooling time a few minutes for each ad-
ditional rack. As individual tastes vary, you may
find you need to adjust the time and temperature
:o 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 thermome-
ters 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 avail-
able as either conventional thermal ovens or as
convection ovens. Although most people are fa-
miliar with the operation of a conventional ther-
mal oven many are unclear as to how a convec-
tion oven works or in what ways it is superior to a
