IMPORTANT SAFETY 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 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.

Self Help Care and Cleaning

•Have an appropriate fire extinguisher available, nearby, highly visible and easily accessible near the oven.

•Keep the oven and ventilating hood free from grease build up. Clean them frequently.

•Do not place food directly on oven bottom.

•Follow the manufacturer’s directions when using cooking or roasting bags.

•Do not allow anyone to climb, stand, lean, or sit on any part of the oven, nor to hang on the oven door, warming drawer, or storage drawer.

This can damage the range, and the unit may tip over, potentially causing severe injury.

WARNING

• ALL RANGES CAN TIP.

•INJURY TO PERSONS COULD RESULT.

•INSTALL ANTI-TIP DEVICE

PACKAGED WITH RANGE.

SEE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.

•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 sit or stand on any part of the appliance or to play in its vicinity, whether or not the appliance is in use.

CAUTION

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

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

•Use high heat settings on the cooktop only when necessary. Heat oil slowly on no more than a low-medium setting, to avoid bubbling and splatter. Hot oil is capable of causing extreme burns and injury.

•Never move a pan of hot oil, especially a deep fat fryer. Wait until it is cool.

•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.

•Use only utensils that are appropriate for ceramic cooktop use on the cooktop. Use proper pan size. (See Cookware Selection Guide”, page. 26 for further details). Select utensils with flat bottoms that cover the entire surface unit. This will reduce risk of fire and also increase efficiency.

Utensils not approved for use with ceramic cooktops may break with sudden temperature changes.

•Always position handles of utensils inward so they do not extend over adjacent work areas, burners or the edge of the cooktop.

SELF-CLEANINGSAFETY

•Confirm that the door locks and will not open once the door lock icon appears. If the door does not lock, touch OFF and do not run Self-Clean.

Phone [phone] for service.

Note: During a normal Self Clean cycle, the door does not lock at the beginning of the cycle; However, it does lock prior to reaching the high self clean temperatures. 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 (such as aluminum foil) of any kind in or around any part of the oven.

•Clean only oven parts listed in this manual.

•Remove the broiler pan, oven racks, oven probe and other utensils and wipe out excess soft spillage before self-cleaning the oven.

REGARDINGPETBIRDS:

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.

RANGEOPERATIONOVERVIEW:

Operation of the range is through touch pads on the backguard, touch pads on the cooktop, the dial on the backguard and the mTwist magnetic dial on the cooktop.

Cooktop Features

... Our Inspiration

Before Using the Cooktop

•Remove all packing materials and labels from the cooktop surface.

•While cool, wipe with a clean, damp sponge and dry.

•Apply the Cooktop Cleaning Creme packaged with the range. Buff with a clean cloth. See Care and Cleaning Section.

•There may be a slight odor during the first several uses; this is normal and will disappear.

•Optimum cooking results depend on the proper cookware being selected and used.

•The cooking surface will hold the heat and remain hot up to 30 minutes after the elements have been turned off.

•Read and understand all safety precautions and Use and Care Manual information prior to operating.

Precautions for Long Life and Good Appearance of the Surface

•Regular, daily care using the Cooktop Cleaning Creme will protect the surface and make it easier to remove food soil and water spots.

•The ceramic glass cooking surface is a durable material resistant to impact but not unbreakable if a pan or other object is dropped on it.

•Never cook food directly on the glass.

•Avoid placing a wok support ring, trivet or other metal stand on the glass surface.

•Do not use the glass surface as a cutting board.

•Do not slide cookware across the cooking surface; it may scratch the glass.

•Do not place wet pans on the glass surface.

Retained Heat

The glass cooking surface retains heat and stays hot after the element(s) have been turned off. The retained heat may be used to hold foods at serving temperatures for a short time. If a hot surface light is on, use caution when working or cleaning around the cooktop as the cooktop is still hot.

Temperature Limiters

Each radiant heating element has its own sensor to protect the glass cooking surface from extreme high temperatures. The limiters will operate automatically by cycling the element off regardless of the cook setting. Although cycling is normal, any one of the following conditions can activate the limiter and cause it to cycle on and off more than usual:

•The base of the pan is not making full contact with the heating surface (due to a warped or uneven base).

•The pan is too small for the element.

•The pan has boiled dry.

•The material or shape of the pan is slow to transfer the heat.

Radiant Elements

Bosch UltraSpeedTM radiant elements use a wire ribbon located under the ceramic glass surface to provide the heat for cooking. These radiant elements will cycle on and off by design (see Temperature Limiters at left.)

There are 9 heat setting positions from 9 (high) to 1 (low) and a special setting for keep warm.

Dual Element

The dual element consists of two radiant ribbon elements within the same heating area. Either the small inner element or both the inner and outer elements may be selected for use, depending on the size of cookware.

Triple Element (Some Models)

The Triple Element, located in the left front position, consists of three radiant ribbon elements within the same heating area, one, two or three elements can be selected.

•The default setting is the largest element.

•Touch POT SIZING once for medium size.

•Touch POT SIZING twice for small size.

Note: If the dial is removed from the cooktop when in use, all elements will be turned off after 10 seconds. The cooktop is locked and the Panel Lock light comes on. (See Setting Panel Lock on Page 11.)

Element ‘ON’ Indicator Light

The area above the element touch pad being used will show the cook setting when the element is on (See Hot Surface Indicator Light graphic above). When the element is turned off, the hot surface indicator comes on in this area.

Hot Surface Indicator Light

Each element features a hot indicator light to show when the cooking surface is too hot to touch. A letter H will appear above the element touch pad.

The light remains on until the cooking area has cooled to a safe-to-touch temperature.

If a hot surface light is on, use caution when working or cleaning around the cooktop as the cooktop is still hot.

Keep Warm

Each element has a keep warm setting to keep hot, cooked foods at serving temperatures.

To set Keep Warm feature:

1.Touch element pad for desired element.

2.Touch KEEP WARM pad. L is displayed above selected element and element comes on.

Keep Warm Guidelines

Use pans/utensils with flat bases. Plates and casseroles with shallow ridges around the base can be used provided they are made of heat-safe materials.

Keep dish covered to keep foods hot. Do not use paper or plastic.

Choose pans and cookware that may be safely used on a hot surface. Example: Use CorningWare® "Safe for Rangetop" rather than Pyrex® which is not recommended for cooktop use.

Use a trivet or steamer inside a pan when necessary to raise food off bottom of pan.

Front of Rack

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 guides. 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 (some models) 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 top 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.

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 recommend reducing temperature 25° F when using this type of pan. Follow manufacturer recommendations. Use glass or dark metal pans for pies.

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

Multiple Rack Cooking

When using multiple racks, follow the placement recommendations below.

Two rack: Use rack positions 2 and 5. The rack in position 2 can be a full extension rack if desired.

Pan Placement

Baking results are better if pans are placed on the center rack. 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. See graphic at right.

Three rack: (for convection bake): Use positions 1, 3 and 6. The rack in position 3 can be a full extension rack if desired.

CAUTION:

Many factors affect cooking performance. Always check food for doneness before serving.

BAKE, PROOF (some models) 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 temperatures are 85° to 110° F. The default temperature is 100° F.

•Loosely cover the bowl or pan and use any rack that accommodates 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

•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.

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®); they cannot tolerate the high temperature.

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 (some models) 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 meat to prevent overbrowning.

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

DEHYDRATE

Dehydrate dries foods 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.

Oven Operation - Using the Probe (some models)

... Our Inspiration

About the Probe

•The probe can be used to determine the internal doneness or the “END” temperature of many foods, especially meats and poultry.

•The temperature range for the probe is 135°F to 200°F (57°C to 93°C).

•Preheating the oven is not recommended when using the probe. A hot oven will impair your ability to easily connect the probe to the receptacle and to insert it into the meat.

•Oven temperature can be set for 100°F up to 450°F (38°C up to 232°C).

Inserting the Probe

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 roast 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.

4.TouchCOOKINGMODEand selectBAKE, CONVECTIONBAKEorCONVECTIONROAST.

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:

DO NOT connect to probe receptacle until probe tip is properly inserted into meat.

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.

Changing the Oven Temperature

1.TouchTEMPERATURE. OVENTEMP will flash in the display.

2.Turn the knob to desired temperature and press START twice.

Changing the Probe Temperature

1.Touch TEMPERATURE. The oven temperature will flash.

2.Press START and PROBE TEMP will flash.

Care and Cleaning - The Cooktop

Use - The Cooktop Getting Started

Self Help Care and Cleaning

Before Use Care

Care is easy when preventative steps are taken. For example, apply a small amount of Cooktop Cleaning Creme (packaged with range) on a daily basis.

Daily Cleaning Techniques

1.Clean the surface when it is completely cool with the Cooktop Cleaning Creme. Exception: Remove Dry Sugar, Sugar Syrup, Tomato Products and Milk immediately with the razor blade scraper (See Care and Cleaning Chart, next page).

2.Wipe off spatters with a clean, damp sponge or paper towel. Rinse and dry. Use white vinegar if smudge remains; rinse.

3.Apply a small amount of the Cooktop Cleaning

Creme. When dry, buff surface with a clean paper towel or cloth.

This provides a protective film that makes it easy to remove water spots or food spatters. The temperature of the cooking surface reduces the protective qualities of this cleaner. It must be reapplied before each use. Use a clean cloth and apply Cooktop Cleaning Creme before each use to remove dust or metal marks that can occur on the counter level surface between uses.

Cleaning the Dial

Remove from cooktop. Wipe with hot, soapy cloth, rinse and dry. Do not soak or wash in dishwasher.

Using the Razor Blade Scraper

Use the scraper to remove dried or baked on foods. Hold the scraper at a 30° angle. Move it over the soil to lift it off of the cooktop. Finish with a clean, damp sponge or paper towel. Apply vinegar if smudge remains and rinse.

Do Not Use the Following Cleaners

•Glass cleaners which contain ammonia or chlorine bleach. These ingredients may permanently etch or stain the cooktop.

•Caustic Cleaners

Oven cleaners such as Easy Off® may etch the cooktop surface.

•Abrasive Cleaners

Metal scouring pads and scrub sponges such as Scotch Brite® can scratch and/ or leave metal marks.

Soap-filled scouring pads such as SOS® can scratch the surface.

Powdery cleaners containing chlorine bleach can permanently stain the cooktop.

Flammable cleaners such as lighter fluid or WD-40®.

CAUTION

Do not use any kind of cleaner on the glass while the surface is hot; use only the razor blade scraper. The resulting fumes can be hazardous to your health. Heating the cleaner can chemically attack and damage the surface.

Self Help Care and Cleaning

Self Cleaning the Oven

The Bosch Range features 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 does 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.

•Four hours is the preset length of cleaning. The range can also be set to clean for 3 or 5 hours.

•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.

DONOT hand clean gasket

DOhand clean door area outside gasket

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 will no longer glide smoothly on the rack guides. 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. The gasket is designed to hold in heat during the self-clean cycle. 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.

Caution: Do not use Commercial Oven Cleaners on the self-clean oven or any oven part. They can damage the finish or the part.

WARNING

A flexible door gasket is necessary for a good seal. Do not clean, rub, damage or move the gasket.

DO hand clean 1-1/2" from rack guides to front of oven cavity.
