and you already know how to operate it.
2) The fire is small and contained in the area where it
started.
3) The fire department is being called.
4) You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
Burn Prevention
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 an
oven become hot enough to cause burns. During and after
use, do not touch, or let clothing, potholders, or other
flammable materials contact heating elements or interior
surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient time to cool.
Other surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to
cause burns. Among these surfaces are oven vent
openings, surfaces near these openings and oven doors.
Exercise caution when opening the appliance. Standing to
the side, open the door slowly and slightly to let hot air and/
or steam escape. Keep your face clear of the opening and
make sure there are no children or pets near the unit. After
the release of hot air and/or steam, proceed with your
cooking. Keep doors shut unless necessary for cooking or
cleaning purposes. Do not leave open doors unattended.
Do not heat or warm unopened food containers. Build-up of
pressure may cause the container to burst and cause
injury.
Use caution when cooking foods with high alcohol content
(e.g. rum, brandy, bourbon) in the oven. Alcohol
evaporates at high temperatures. There is a risk of burning
as the alcohol vapors may catch fire in the oven. Use only
small quantities of alcohol in foods, and open the oven door
carefully.
Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is
cool. If a rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let
potholder contact the heating elements.
Always use 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.
Secure all loose garments, etc. before beginning. Tie long
hair so that it does not hang loose, and do not wear loose
fitting clothing or hanging garments, such as ties, scarves,
jewelry, or dangling sleeves.
Child Safety
When children become old enough to use the appliance, it
is the legal responsibility of the parents or legal guardians
to ensure that they are instructed in safe operation of the
appliance by qualified persons.

Important Safety Instructions
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand, lean, sit, or hang on
any part of an appliance, especially a door, warming drawer
or storage drawer. This can damage the appliance, and the
unit may tip over, potentially causing severe injury.
Do not allow children to use this appliance unless closely
supervised by an adult. Children and pets should not be left
alone or unattended in the area where the appliance is in
use. They should never be allowed to play in its vicinity,
whether or not the appliance is in use.
CAUTION:
Items of interest to children should not be stored in an
appliance, in cabinets above an appliance or on the
backsplash. Children climbing on an appliance to reach
items could be seriously injured.
Cleaning Safety
Do not clean the appliance while it is still hot. Some
cleaners produce noxious fumes when applied to a hot
surface. Wet cloths or sponges can cause burns from
steam.
When self-cleaning, confirm that the door locks and will not
open. If the door does not lock, do not run Self-Clean.
Contact service.
Wipe out excessive spillage before self-cleaning the oven.
Birds have very sensitive respiratory systems . Keep pet
birds out of the kitchen or other rooms where kitchen fumes
could reach them. During self-clean, fumes are released
that may be harmful to birds. Other kitchen fumes such as
overheating margarines and cooking oils may also be
harmful.
Keep oven free from grease build up.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE: The California Safe
Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the
Governor of California to publish a list of substances known
to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn
customers of potential exposure to such substances.
The burning of gas cooking fuel and the elimination of soil
during self-cleaning can generate some by-products which
are on the list. To minimize exposure to these substances,
always operate this unit according to the instructions
contained in this booklet and provide good ventilation.
Cookware Safety
Do not place food directly on oven bottom.
Follow the manufacturer's directions when using cooking or
roasting bags.

About the Appliance
Your new oven combines premium cooking results and
simple operation.
The oven design has been optimized to improve heat
distribution in the oven cavity. The result is even browning,
shorter cooking times and lower energy consumption.
Thanks to Self-Clean mode, hours of scrubbing into the
darkest corners of the oven is a thing of the past. The oven
burns off soil simply and easily. All that is left to do is to
remove a few ashes from the oven when Self-Clean is
done.
Clear labeling of the touch keys and knobs make operating
the oven very easy. This manual includes all instructions for
operating the oven.
Please call us if you ever have any questions. Our
telephone number is located at the beginning of this

Getting the Most Out of Your Appliance
General Tips
Pan Placement
Baking results are better if pans are placed in the center of
the oven. If baking more than one pan on a rack, allow at
least 1" to 1 ½" of air space around the pan. When baking
four cake layers at the same time, stagger pans on two
racks so that one pan is not directly above the other.
Aluminum Foil
WARNING:
Do not use aluminum foil or protective liners
to line any part of the appliance, especially the
oven bottom. Installation of these liners may
result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
Preheating the Oven
•Allow oven to preheat while preparing recipe
ingredients or food items.
•Setting a higher temperature does not shorten preheat
time.
•Once oven is preheated, place food in the oven as
quickly as possible to minimize the loss of heat and
reduction of oven temperature.
•Use Fast Preheat to speed up preheating (some
models).
For Best Results
•Use the cooking recommendations as a guide.
•Open the door as briefly as possible to avoid
temperature reduction.
•Use the interior oven light to view the food through the
oven window rather than opening the door frequently.
•Use the Timer to keep track of cooking times.
•Place oven racks in desired position before heating the
oven.
•Preheat the oven when using the Bake, Convection
Bake, Pie, Pizza, and Warm modes.
•Preheat is not used for Roast, Convection Roast, and
Proof.
English 10
Baking Pans and Dishes
•Glass baking dishes absorb heat. Therefore, reduce
oven temperature 25 ºF when baking in glass.
•Use pans that provide the desired browning. For
tender, light, golden, brown crusts, use light, anodized
or shiny metal bakeware.
•Dark, rough or dull pans (nonstick or anodized) will
27” appliances:
30” appliances:
absorb heat and result in a browner, crisper crust.
Some manufacturers recommend reducing the
temperature 25 ºF when using this type of pan. Follow
manufacturers' recommendations.
•Insulated cookie sheets or bakeware may increase the
length of cooking time.
•Do not set any heavy object on the open oven door.
•Do not keep empty pans in the oven during cooking as
this changes cooking performance. Store the pans
outside the oven.
High Altitude Baking
•When cooking at high altitudes, recipes and cooking
times will vary.
For accurate information, write the Extension Service,
Colorado State University, Fort Collins, Colorado
80521. There may be a cost for the guides. Specify
which high altitude food preparation guide you prefer:
general information, cakes, cookies, breads, etc.
Condensation
that one is not directly above the other (see graphic
below). You may also consider using a convection
mode.
•It is normal for a certain amount of moisture to
evaporate from the food during any cooking process.
The amount depends on the moisture content of the
food. The moisture may condense on any surface
cooler than the inside of the oven, such as the control
panel.
Bake
t
The Bake mode can be used to prepare a variety of food
items, from pastries to casseroles. Refer to recipe or
package directions for oven temperature and baking time.
Tips:
•Preheat the oven if the recipe recommends it.
•Baking time will vary with the size, shape and finish of
the bakeware. Dark metal pans or nonstick coatings
will cook faster with darker results. Insulated bakeware
will lengthen the cook time for most foods.
•For best results, bake food on a single rack with at
least 1–1½" space between pans or dishes and oven
walls.
•Eliminate heat loss from the oven by using the window
to periodically check food for doneness instead of
opening the door.
•If multiple racks are necessary, use a maximum of 2
racks. For cakes, use rack positions 3 and 5. For
cookies, use rack positions 1 and 4. Stagger pans so
Bake is cooking with dry, heated air. Both
the upper and lower elements cycle to
maintain the oven temperature.
Convection Bake (some
models)
Convection Bake is similar to Bake. Heat
comes from the upper and lower heating
á
The Convection Bake mode is well suited for baked goods
such as cookies, biscuits, breads and cakes. It is also good
for cooking on multiple racks (2 or 3) at the same time. The
benefits of Convection Bake include:
•Use of multiple racks at one time.
•Slight decrease in cook time.
•Higher volume (yeast items rise higher).
•Even browning.
Tips
•Reduce recipe temperature by 25 ºF. Refer to
Convection Cooking chart.
•If baking more than one pan on a rack, allow at least 1"
to 1 ½" of air space around the pan. Stagger pans so
that one is not directly above the other (see graphic
below).
elements. The main difference in
convection baking is that the heat is
circulated throughout the oven by the
convection fan.

Pie (some models)
27” appliances:
30” appliances:
Tips:
•For a crispy crust, place pizza directly on the rack.
•For a softer crust, use a pizza pan.
•When proofing dough, coat dough with olive oil and
cover bowl tightly with plastic wrap to prevent crust
formation.
•Sprinkle cornmeal on the pizza pan to prevent sticking.
•If using a pizza paddle, sprinkle the paddle liberally
with cornmeal for ease in transferring the dough to the
pan.
•If par-baking handmade pizza dough, prick the dough
with a fork before baking.
•If using a pizza pan, choose a dark, perforated pan for
a more crisp crust and a non-perforated pan for a softer
crust.
•Preheat baking stones while the oven is preheating.
•Bake homemade pizzas on rack position 2 in center of
the rack.
•Follow manufacturer’s directions for frozen pizza.
•The convection fan cycles on and off when using pizza
mode.
á
Use Pie to cook fresh or frozen pies.
Tips:
•Baking times may slightly decrease when using this
mode. Check pies earlier.
•To prevent over browning, the pie edge may need to be
covered with foil or a pie ring.
•Use bleached all purpose flour or pastry flour for crusts.
Cake or bread flour may yield weak or tough crusts.
•For tender crusts, substitute a small amount of vinegar
for part of the liquid.
•For a flaky crust, make sure that ingredients are cold
during preparation.
•To prevent dough from shrinking during cooking, place
crust in pie pan, wrap in plastic wrap and rest in
refrigerator for 30 minutes before adding filling. Note:
dough can be stored like this for up to two days.
•The convection fan cycles on and off when using pie
mode.
Pizza (some models)
á
In the Pie mode, heat from the upper and
lower element is circulated throughout the
oven by the convection fan.

The benefits of Convection Roast mode include:
•As much as 25% faster cooking than non-convection
modes.
•Rich, golden browning.
Convection Broil (some
models)
Tips:
•Use the same temperature as indicated in the recipe.
•In this cooking mode you don‘t need to preheat the
oven.
•Check doneness early, since roasting time may
decrease. Refer to Convection Cooking chart for
examples.
•Do not cover meat or use cooking bags.
•Use a shallow, uncovered pan and roasting rack.
•Use a meat thermometer to determine the internal
temperature of the meat.
•If the meat is browned to your liking, but is not yet

Convection Broil mode is well suited for cooking thick,
tender cuts of meat, poultry and fish. Convection Broil is not
recommended for browning breads, casseroles and other
foods. Always use convection broil with the door closed.
In addition to the benefits of standard broiling, convection
broiling is faster.
Tips:
•Preheat oven 3–4 minutes. Do not preheat for more
than 5 minutes.
•Steaks and chops should be at least 1½" thick.
•Use a broil pan and grid designed to drain fats and oils
away from the cooking surface to prevent smoking and
spattering. Do not cover the grid.
•Turn meats once during the recommended cook time

element with heat circulated by a
convection fan.
The Broil mode is best suited for cooking thin, tender cuts
of meat (1" or less), poultry and fish. It can also be used to
brown breads and casseroles. Always broil with the door
closed. The benefits of broiling include:
•Fast and efficient cooking.
•Cooking without the addition of fats or liquids.
Tips:
•Preheat oven 3–4 minutes. Do not preheat for more
than 5 minutes.
•Steaks and chops should be at least ¾" thick.
•Brush fish and poultry with butter or oil to prevent
sticking.
•Use a broil pan and grid designed to drain fats and oils
away from the cooking surface to prevent smoking and
spattering. Do not cover the grid.
•Turn meats once during the recommended cook time
(see Cooking chart for examples).
•When top browning casseroles, use only metal or glass
ceramic dishes such as Corningware ®.

Cleaning and Maintenance
Cleaning
Self-Clean
WARNING:
Children should not be left alone or
unattended in an area where appliances are
in use. During the self clean cycle, parts of the
appliance may become potentially harmful to
persons who lack adult knowledge of
appliances and adult reactions to potentially
harmful conditions. During the elimination of
soil during self-cleaning, small amounts of
Carbon Monoxide can be created and the
fiberglass insulation could give off very small
amounts of formaldehyde during the first
several cleaning cycles. To minimize
exposure to these substances, provide good
ventilation with an open window, or use a
ventilation fan or hood.
During Self-Clean, the oven is heated to a very high
temperature. Soil is burned off at this temperature.
When self-cleaning, confirm that the door locks and will not
open. If the door does not lock, do not run Self-Clean.
Contact service.
NOTICE:
Wipe out excessive spillage before self-cleaning the oven.
To set the self-clean mode:
1. Remove all accessories and racks from the oven.
2. Turn the Heating Mode Dial to Self Clean.
"Self Clean", "Cook Time" and the corresponding
arrow appear in the display:
3. Turn the settings dial to set the cleaning time. Select
2:30 hours for a heavily soiled oven. Select 1:30 hours
for a lightly soiled oven.
Self-Clean starts after a few seconds. The arrow next
to Cook Time disappears and the oven door is locked.
To cancel Self-Clean, turn Cooking Mode Dial to
"Off".
Once the oven is cool, "Self Clean" disappears and the
arrow next to Cook Time reappears. The oven door is
unlocked when “End” appears in the display.
NOTICE:
Do not clean parts or accessories in the Self-Clean oven.
English 14
Wipe remaining ash from the oven using a moist cloth.
Note:
•The oven light cannot be turned on during selfcleaning.
•The special heat-resistant enamel and the polished
components in the oven can become discolored over
time. This is normal and does not affect operation. Do
not use scouring pads or abrasive cleaners to treat
discolorations.
•In double oven models, Self Clean is only available for
one oven at a time, and the other oven must be turned
off.
PartRecommendations
Porcelain
Surfaces
Immediately wipe up acid spills like
fruit juice, milk and tomatoes with a
dry cloth. Do not use a moistened
sponge/cloth on hot porcelain. When
cool, clean with hot soapy water or
apply Bon-Ami® or Soft Scrub® to a
damp sponge. Rinse and dry. For
stubborn stains, use soap-filled
pads. It is normal for porcelain to
show fine lines with age due to
exposure to heat and food soil.
Avoid These Cleaners
Do not use commercial oven cleaners such as Easy Off®.
They may damage the oven finish or parts.
Never use scouring pads or abrasive cleaners.
Cleaning Guide
PartRecommendations
Flat RackWash with hot soapy water. Rinse
thoroughly and dry, or gently rub
with cleansing powder or soap-filled
pads as directed. DO NOT clean the
rack in the self-cleaning oven.
If flat racks are cleaned in the oven
during the self clean mode, they will
loose their shiny finish and may not
glide smoothly. If this happens wipe
the rack edges with a small amount
of vegetable oil. Then wipe off
excess.

STATEMENT OF LIMITED PRODUCT
WARRANTY
What this Warranty Covers & Who it
Applies to
The limited warranty provided by BSH Home Appliances
Bosch in this Statement of Limited Product Warranty
applies only to the Bosch Built-in oven sold to you, the first
using purchaser, provided that the Product was purchased:
•For your normal, household (non-commercial) use, and
has in fact at all times only been used for normal
household purposes.
•New at retail (not a display, "as is", or previously
returned model), and not for resale, or commercial use.
•Within the United States or Canada, and has at all
times remained within the country of original purchase.
The warranties stated herein apply only to the first
purchaser of the Product and are not transferable.
Bosch reserves the right to request proof of purchase at the
time any warranty claim is submitted to confirm that the
Product falls within the scope of this limited product

no responsibility or liability for repairs or work performed by
a non-authorized servicer. If you choose to have someone
other than an authorized service provider work on your
Product, THIS WARRANTY WILL AUTOMATICALLY
BECOME NULL AND VOID. Authorized service providers
are those persons or companies that have been specially
trained on Bosch products, and who possess, in Bosch's
opinion, a superior reputation for customer service and
technical ability (note that they are independent entities
and are not agents, partners, affiliates or representatives of
Bosch). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bosch will not incur
any liability, or have responsibility, for the Product if it is
located in a remote area (more than 100 miles from an
authorized service provider) or is reasonably inaccessible,
hazardous, threatening, or treacherous locale,
surroundings, or environment; in any such event, if you
request, Bosch would still pay for labor and parts and ship
the parts to the nearest authorized service provider, but you
would still be fully liable and responsible for any travel time
or other special charges by the service company, assuming
they agree to make the service call.
Bosch warrants that the Product is free from defects in
materials and workmanship for a period of twelve (12)
months from the date of purchase. The foregoing timeline

stalled, tolled, extended, or suspended, for any reason
whatsoever.

During this warranty period, Bosch or one of its authorized
service providers will repair your Product without charge to
you (subject to certain limitations stated herein) if your
Product proves to have been manufactured with a defect in
materials or workmanship. If reasonable attempts to repair
the Product have been made without success, then Bosch
will replace your Product (upgraded models may be
available to you, in Bosch's sole discretion, for an
additional charge). All removed parts and components shall
