WARNING

When used in accordance with its intended purposes and properly cared for, your new Bosch range has been designed to be a safe, reliable appliance. Read all instructions carefully before using this range. These precautions will reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, and injury to persons. Do not operate the oven or cooktop controls if the glass is broken. Food splatter or cleaning solution may penetrate a broken control panel and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately should your glass control panel become broken. When using kitchen appliances, basic safety precautions must be followed, including those in the following pages.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

The California Safe Drinking 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 small amounts of Carbon Monoxide.

The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens gives off very small amounts of formaldehyde during the first several cleaning cycles.

California lists formaldehyde as a potential cause of cancer. Carbon Monoxide is a potential cause of reproductive toxicity.

Exposure to these substances can be minimized by:

1.Providing good ventilation when cooking with gas

2.Providing good ventilation during and immediately after self cleaning the oven.

3.Operating the unit according to the instructions in this manual.

The Bosch range referred to thoughout this manual is manufactured by BSH Home Appliance Corp.

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. Avoid reaching or leaning over the appliance. Be aware that certain clothing and hair sprays may contain flammable chemicals that could be ignited if brought in contact with hot surface units or heating elements and may cause severe burns.

•In the event that personal clothing or hair catches fire, DROP AND ROLL IMMEDIATELY to extinguish flames.

•Do not touch the cooking area(s) or the immediate surrounding area(s) while using the range or while it is cooling. Areas adjacent to the burners, oven and warming drawer may become hot enough to cause burns and may be hot even though they are off. Never let clothing, potholders, or other flammable materials come in contact with a cooking area until it has cooled.

•Do not operate range during a power failure. If the power fails, always turn off the range. If the range is not turned off and the power resumes, the range will begin to operate again. Once the power resumes, reset the clock and oven function.

•Always turn hood ON when flambeing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Pepercorn Beef Flambe).

•Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on the blower or filter. Grease left on filters can remelt and move into the vent.

To replace knob, spring and bezel: Place spring and knob on top of bezel being careful to line up center holes. Push down on knob so that spring is tense. With knob in off position, place center hole around shaft on range and push bezel, spring and knob in toward range. Release knob.

Electronic Ignition

The cooktop uses electronic igniters to light the burners. There is no pilot light. Each burner has its own igniter. For best results, center the pan over the burner before ignition.

The ignitor should be clean and dry for proper operation.

•Avoid getting water or food on the igniter.

•If the igniter is wet or soiled, it may spark without igniting the burner.

Note: If the burner does not light within 4 seconds, turn the burner off. Check to see that the cap is positioned correctly on the burner base and the igniter is clean and dry. If a burner still fails to ignite, see Self “Help - Cooktop”, page 29.

Typical Flame Characteristics

Foreign particles in the gas line may cause an orange flame during initial use. This should disappear with use. Check burner cap to make sure port holes are not obstructed. If the ports are clogged, see “Cleaning the Cooktop”, page 23. For natural gas use, the burner flame should be blue in color and stable with no yellow tips, excessive noise or fluttering. It should burn completely around the burner cap. For Propane (LP) use, some yellow tips are normal.

Note: An audible “pop” may be heard when the burner is turned off manually. The “popping” may be louder with LP gas than with natural gas. This is normal. Refer to the Cooking Guide (previous page) for flame settings.

Power Failure

In the event of a power failure, the burners can be ignited manually. Hold a match at the port and turn the control knob to the HI position. Wait until the flame is burning all the way around the burner before adjusting the flame to the desired height.

CAUTION:

All igniters spark when any single burner is turned ON. Do not touch any of the burners when the cooktop is in use.

Burner Performance

For best cooking results, observe the following burner characteristics:

PowerSim™ Burner (Right Front): The PowerSim™ burner is the most verstile of the burners. The cap retains heat longer than normal burner caps and, at low settings, prohibits the flame from touching the cookware. This results in a gentle, more predictable heat. It can be set low enough to simmer sauces without scorching. However, the flame can also be set high enough to stir-fry and boil quickly. The large size of the burner cap allows the burner to accomodate large pots, so it is also well suited for cooking large quantities of food.

Right Rear: The right rear burner is the smallest burner. It is well suited for delicate cooking such as melting chocolate and butter.

CAUTION:

To avoid possible burns, place oven racks in desired positions before turning the oven on. Always use oven mitts when the oven is warm. If a rack must be moved while the oven is hot, do not let oven mitts contact hot heating elements.

Removing from oven: Grasp rack firmly on both sides and pull rack toward you. When the stop is reached, tilt rack up and pull the rest of the way out.

Replacing in oven: Grasp rack firmly on both sides. Tilt rack up to allow stop into rack holder. Bring rack to a horizontal position and push the rest of the way in. Rack should be straight and flat, not crooked.

Note: The full extension rack must be in the closed position when removing and replacing. Grasp the entire rack (both sections).

The Full Extension Rack allows for easier access to cooking foods. The bottom section extends as far as the standard flat rack. However, the top section extends beyond the bottom section bringing the food closer to the user. To order a full extension rack, contact Bosch Service: 800/944-2904 for a dealer near you.

Use: First, grasp the bottom section and pull straight out. Once the stop is reached, grasp the top section and pull straight out until the second stop is reached. Cleaning: Clean rack with hot sudsy water. Dry thoroughly. For stubborn dirt, use a soap filled steel wool pad. DO NOT clean the rack in the selfcleaning oven.

The two sections of the rack are designed to come apart for easier cleaning. To do so, place rack on flat surface in the closed position right side up. Rotate one side of top rack towards you until it is past the stop (ball). Pull the rack up and out, rotated side first (see Figure 2). To reassemble rack, hold top rack diagonally across bottom rack. Insert one side of top rack to closed position. Rotate the other side toward the back of the rack until it passes the stop (ball). Push top rack the rest of the way in (see Figure 3).

If the top rack will not extend fully, it is not installed correctly. Reinstall it so that the pan stop is in the back of the oven.

Rack Position

(see graphic at right for further details)

RACK 6 (highest position) – Use for melting cheese and broiling thin foods.

RACK 5 – Use for broiling most meats and toasting bread.

RACK 4 – Use for broiling thicker meats.

RACK 3 – Use for most baked goods when baking on one rack, such as on a cookie sheet or baking pan. Use for cakes, frozen convenience foods, biscuits, brownies, and muffins.

RACK 2 – Use for pies, casseroles, breads, bundt or pound cakes, small roasts or poultry.

RACK 1 (lowest position) – Use for angel food cake, large roasts, turkey.

Multiple Rack Cooking:

When using multiple racks, follow the placement recomendations below.

Two rack: For cakes, use rack positions 2 and 5. Three rack: (for convection bake): Use positions 1, 3 and 6.

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. To allow for best baking results, place cakes on back of upper rack and front of lower rack (see graphic at right).

Preheating

Preheat the oven if the recipe recommends it. Preheating is necessary for good results when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads. When using the probe preheating is not recommended. Setting a higher temperature does not shorten preheat time. Place oven racks in proper position before preheating. A beep will confirm that the oven is preheated and the selected oven temperature will be displayed.

Baking Pans

Glass baking dishes absorb heat, therefore, reduce oven temperature 25° F when baking in glass.

Shiny, smooth metal reflects heat resulting in lighter, more delicate browning.

Dark, rough or dull pans will absorb heat resulting in browner, crisper crust. Some manufacturers recommended reducing temperature 25° F when using this type of pan. Follow manufacturer recommendations. Use dark pan for pies.

Insulated baking pans may increase the length of the recommended baking time.

Oven Modes - Bake and Convection Bake

... Our Inspiration

BAKE, PROOF and WARM

Baking is cooking with dry, heated air. Both the upper and lower element cycle to maintain the oven temperature:

The Bake mode can be used to prepare a variety of food items, from pastries to casseroles. It can also be used to roast meats.

In the Warming mode, the oven uses the upper and lower element to maintain a low temperature to keep food at serving temperature.

•Use the Warming setting on the oven to keep foods hot until ready to serve.

•The Warming mode temperatures are 140° - 220°F. The default temperature is 170° F.

•Foods that need to be kept moist should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil.

In the Proofing mode, the oven will use the upper and lower element to maintain a low temperature to proof bread. Proofing is the rising of a yeast dough.

•The Proofing mode temeratures are 85° to 110° F. The default temperature is 100° F.

•Loosely cover the bowl or pan and use any rack that accomodates the size of the container.

•Keep the door closed and use the oven light to check the rising of the dough.

*The convection bake temperature is 25°F less than recommended on packages or recipes. The temperature in this chart has been reduced 25°F.

**This chart is a guide. Actual times depend on the mixes or recipes baked. Follow recipe or package directions and reduce temperature appropriately.

CONVECTION BAKE

Convection Baking is similar to Baking. In this case, heat comes from the lower heating element and a third element behind the backwall. The main difference in convection baking is that the heat is circulated throughout the oven by the convection fan:

The Convection Bake mode is well-suited for baking large quantities of food on multiple racks. It can be used to prepare cookies, pies, cupcakes, pastries, breads, snack foods and appetizers among other items.

The benefits of Convection Baking include:

•Slight decrease in cooking time

•Three rack cooking (more even browning)

•Higher Volume (yeast items rise higher)

•Cook more items at once

For Best Results:

•Reduce recipe temperature by 25° F. Refer to the Convection Baking chart for examples.

•Place food in low-sided, uncovered pans such as cookie sheets without sides.

•Center baking pans side to side on the oven rack.

Oven Modes - Broil and Convection Broil

Self Help Care and Cleaning Use--TheCooktopOven Getting Started

BROIL

Broiling uses intense heat radiated from the upper element:

The Broil mode is best suited to cooking thin, tender cuts of meat (1” or less), poultry and fish. It can also be used to brown breads and casseroles.

The benefits of Broiling include:

•Fast and efficient cooking

•Cooking without the addition of fats or liquids

•Browning as the food cooks

For Best Results:

•Preheat oven 3-4 minutes

•Steaks and Chops should be at least 3/4” thick

•Brush fish and poultry with butter or oil to prevent sticking

•Use the broil pan and grid included with your range

•Do not cover the broiler grid with foil. It is designed to drain fats and oils away from the cooking surface to prevent smoking and spattering

•Turn meats once halfway through the recommended cooking time (see Broil Chart for examples).

•When top browning casseroles, use only metal or glass ceramic dishes such as Corningware®.

•Never use heat-proof glass (Pyrex®);it cannot tolerate the high temperature.

Oven Modes -Convection Roast

... Our Inspiration

CONVECTION ROAST

Convection Roast uses heat from the top and bottom elements as well as heat circulated by the convection fan:

The Convection Roast mode is well suited to preparing tender cuts of meat and poultry.

The benefits of Convection Roasting, include:

•As much as 25% faster cooking than standard Roasting/Baking

•Rich, golden browning

For Best Results:

•Use the same temperature as indicated in the recipe.

•Check doneness early as roasting time may decrease by as much as 25%. Refer to Convection Roast Chart for examples.

•Do not cover meat or use cooking bags.

•Use the broil pan and grid provided with the range for roasting. A low-sided, uncovered pan can also be used.

•Use the probe or a meat thermometer to determine the internal temperature of the meat.

•If the meat is browned to your liking, but is not yet done, a small strip of foil can be placed over the browned area to prevent overbrowning.

•Let meat stand covered with foil 10-15 minutes after removing from the oven.

Oven Modes - Dehydrate

Self Help Care and Cleaning UseThe OvenCooktop Getting Started

DEHYDRATE

Dehydrate dries with heat from a third element behind the back wall of the oven. The heat is circulated throughout the oven by the convection fan.

Dehydrating is used to dry and/or preserve foods such as fruits, vegetables and herbs. This mode holds an optimum low temperature (100° F - 160° F) while circulating the heated air to slowly remove moisture.

For Best Results:

•Dry most fruits and vegetables at 140° F. Dry herbs at 100° F. (Refer to the Dehydrate Chart for examples).

•Drying times vary depending on the moisture and sugar content of the food, the size of the pieces, the amount being dried and the humidity in the air. Check food at the minimum drying time.

•Multiple racks can be used simultaneously. Contact your Bosch dealer for drying racks.

•Treat fruits with antioxidants to avoid discoloration.

•Consult a food preservation book, county Cooperative Extension Office or library for additional information.

The door must be open during the Dehydrate mode. Prop the door open at least 1" by placing an object (i.e.; wooden spoon) in the upper corner between the door and the side panel. Be careful that the object does not touch the oven gasket.

Insert the probe tip into the food item.

•For meats, insert the probe tip into the thickest part and do not touch bone, fat, or gristle.

•For large poultry products and turkeys, insert the probe in the thickest part of the inner thigh.

•For other foods, such as a meatloaf, the probe tip should be located in the center of the thickest part of the food.

Using the Probe

1.Prepare meat and place in roasting pan (or on rack in roasting pan as recipe specifies). Insert the probe into the meat (See “Inserting the Probe”, above).

2.Make sure the probe is not touching gristle, fat, bone, the roasting rack or the pan.

3.Place roasting pan with meat in cold oven on recommended oven rack. Plug probe into the probe receptacle. The probe symbol will appear in display.

Note: The probe temperature can only be set when the probe is installed in the oven.

5.Touch START. The default oven temperature will appear.

6.Turn knob to change oven temperature if necessary.

7.TouchSTART.

8.Turn knob to set the probe temperature (desired end temperature of the food).

9.TouchSTART.

•The chosen oven temperature is displayed in the upper right hand corner of the display.

•The probe temperature is displayed in the center to the left of the cooking mode. It starts at 80 degrees and increases in 5°F increments until the chosen probe temperature is reached.

•The oven is preheated when the beep signals once.

•When the set probe temperature is reached, END appears in display and oven turns off.

Note: Always remove probe from oven when cooking is complete. The probe symbol will remain in the display until the probe is removed. Do not leave probe attachment in oven during self-clean. Oven will not selfclean with the probe installed in the oven.

Probe Use Tips

•The oven is well insulated and the retained heat will continue to cook the meat after the oven has shut off. For this reason, remove the meat from the oven as soon as the control beeps.

•Since meat continues to cook after being removed from the oven, set the internal (probe) temperature 5 - 10 degrees below the desired final internal temperature (exception: poultry). Allow “standing time” (10 -20 minutes) before carving the meat.

•Always use the handle of the probe for inserting and removing. Use a potholder to remove since the probe becomes hot.

•Remove the probe from the oven when it is not being used.

•The probe cannot be used with frozen meats. For best results, completely thaw meats before using the probe.

Self Cleaning the Oven

Bosch ovens feature a self-cleaning function that eliminates the manual labor involved with cleaning your oven. During self-cleaning, the oven uses a very high temperature to burn away food soil and grease.

•It is common to see smoke and/or an occasional flame-up during the Self-Clean cycle, depending on the content and amount of soil remaining in the oven. If a flame persists, turn off the oven and allow it to cool before opening the door to wipe up the excessive food soil.

•In a normal Self-Clean mode, the door does not lock at the beginning of the cycle; However, it does lock prior to reaching the high self clean temperatures. The door lock symbol will appear in the display at this point. The door will not lock at the start of the cycle.

•The oven light does not operate during this mode.

•During Self-Clean, the kitchen should be well ventilated to help eliminate odors associated with Self-Clean. Odors will lessen with use.

Preparing the Oven for Self Clean

1.Remove all utensils and bakeware.

2.Remove oven racks. If oven racks are left in the oven during the self-clean cycle, they will permanently lose the shiny finish and change to a dull dark finish. They will also not glide smoothly. See Oven Cleaning Chart for proper care.

3.Wipe up any soft soil spills and grease with paper towels. Excess grease will cause flames and smoke inside the oven during self-cleaning.

4.Review illustration below. Some areas of the oven must be cleaned by hand before the cycle begins. Use a soapy sponge or plastic scrubber or a detergent-filled S.O.S.® pad. Hand clean the oven door edge, oven front frame and up to 1-1/2 inches inside the frame with detergent and hot water. Do not clean or rub the gasket on the oven. Rinse all areas thoroughly then dry.

5.Be sure oven light is turned off and the light bulbs and lens covers are in place. Do not operate oven without lightbulb and cover in place.

•The preset length of cleaning time is 4 hours. The

range can also be set to clean for 3 or 5 hours. Caution: Do not use commercial oven cleaners on

•The mode automatically stops at the end of the clean hours.

•When the oven heat returns to a safe temperature after cleaning, the automatic door lock will release and the door can be opened.
