IMPORTANTSAFETY NOTICE

WARNING

When 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.

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 elimination of soil during self-cleaning generates some by-products which are on the list.

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

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.

Important Safety Instructions

Please read all instructions before using this appliance.

COOKTOP SAFETY (cont’d)

Never leave the cooktop unattended. Boilovers can cause smoke and possibly damage the cooktop.

Hold the handle of the pan to prevent movement of the utensil when stirring or turning food.

Other than the use of metal pans, only certain types of glass, heatproof glass ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop use. Other types of utensils may break with sudden temperature changes. Use only on low or medium heat settings according to the utensil manufacturer’s directions.

OVEN SAFETY

To reduce the risk of fire:

Do not store flammable materials in or near the oven.

Do not use water on a grease fire. Smother fire or use a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

Have an appropriate fire extinguisher available and highly visible near any cooking appliance.

Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils or food in the cavity when not being used.

If materials inside the oven should ignite, keep oven door closed. Turn off oven and disconnect the circuit at the circuit breaker box.

Do not block any vent openings.

Never use the oven to warm or heat a room. This can damage the oven parts.

Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while using the appliance. Be careful when reaching for items stored over the range. Flammable material could be ignited if brought in contact with hot surface units or heating elements and may cause severe burns.

Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on the oven door, warming drawer door, storage drawer or cooktop. This can damage the range and even tip it over, causing severe personal injury.

Have the installer show the location of the circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy reference.

SELF-CLEANING SAFETY

Confirm that the door locks and will not open once the door lock indicator icon appears. If the door does not lock, touch OFF and do not run Self-Clean. Phone 800/944-2904 for service.

Note: During a normal Self-Clean cycle, the door will not lock until the oven reaches 450º F. In a Delayed Self-Clean cycle, the door locks immediately.

Do not clean the oven gasket. It is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage, move or remove the oven gasket.

Do not use commercial oven cleaners or oven liner protective coatings of any kind in or around any part of the oven.

Clean only oven parts listed in this manual.

Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the broiler pan, oven racks, oven probe, other utensils and wipe out excess soft spillage.

REGARDING PET BIRDS:

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.

CAUTION

Items of interest to children should not be stored in cabinets above a range or on the backsplash of a range. Children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured.
