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.
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 Instructions
Range Safety
• Have the installer show you the locations of
the circuit breaker or fuse and the gas shut
off valve. Mark them for easy reference.
• This appliance must be properly installed and
grounded by a qualified technician. Connect only to
properly grounded outlet. Refer to Installation Instructions
for details.
• Service should only be performed by an authorized
service technician who has undergone training for
this specific type of unit. This is a high-tech appliance.
Unauthorized service technicians may not be familiar with
the sophisticated workings of this appliance and may,
therefore, cause damage to the unit or create a hazard.
Contact the nearest authorized service center for
examination, repair or adjustment.
• Do not repair or replace any part of the range
unless specifically recommended by an authorized service
technician.
• Do not operate this appliance if it is not working
properly or if it has been damaged until an
authorized servicer has examined it.
• Use this appliance only for its intended use as
described in this manual. If you have any questions, contact
the manufacturer.
• Do not use corrosive chemicals, vapors, flammables
or nonfood products in this appliance. This type of
range is specifically designed to heat or cook food. It is not
designed for industrial or laboratory use. The use of
corrosive chemicals in heating or cleaning will damage the
appliance and could result in injury.
• 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. 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, Peppercorn 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.

in this manual is not followed
exactly, a fire or explosion may
result causing property damage,
personal injury or death.
• DO NOT operate oven without oven bottom in place.
• Whenever possible, do not operate the blower
during a cooktop fire. However, DO NOT REACH
THROUGH FIRE TO TURN OFF BLOWER.
• Do not clean the range while it is still hot. Some
cleaners produce noxious fumes when applied to a hot
surface.
• Exercise caution when opening the oven or warming
drawer. 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
either in the oven or the warming drawer. Build-up of
pressure may cause the container to burst and cause injury.
• 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 hot 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.
• Do not use water or a wet rag or towel on a grease
fire. Smother fire with baking soda or use a dry chemical or
foam-type (ABC) extinguisher.
• Take care that drafts like those from fans or forced
air vents do not blow flammable material toward the
flames or push the flames so that they extend beyond the
edges of the pan.

Please read all instructions before using this appliance.
Important Safety Instructions
• 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.
More importantly, if the burner flames are smothered,
unburned gas will escape into the room. See warning,
page 1.
• After a spill or boilover, turn off the burner and
allow cooktop to cool. Clean around the burner
and burner ports. After cleaning, check for proper
operation.
• Hold the handle of the pan to prevent movement
of the utensil when stirring or turning food.
Self-Cleaning Safety
• Confirm that the door locks and will not open by
pulling gently on it once the door lock icon appears. If
the door does not lock, touch OFF and do not run Self-
Clean. Phone Bosch at 800-944-2904 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. (Continued next page).
• Have an appropriate fire extinguisher available,
nearby, highly visible and easily accessible near the oven.
• Keep the oven free from grease build up.
• 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.
• Use only utensils that are approriate for
cooktop use on the cooktop (See “Cookware
Selection Guide”, pg. 26 for further details). Other
types of utensils may break with sudden temperature
changes. Use utensils according to the manufacturer’s
directions.
• Use only low or medium heat settings when
possible, particularly with pans larger than the grate
or that span more than one burner. Prolonged use of
high heat settings with these types of utensils can
cause poor combustion. Poor combustion results in
harmful by-products.
• Match pan size to size of burner. Undersized pans
expose element to direct contact which could result in
burn or injury. Do not allow flames to spread around
or over the rim of a pan that contains grease. A
grease fire could be ignited. Proper pan size also
improves efficiency.
• Clean cooktop with caution. Be sure all cooktop
controls are turned off and the cooktop is cool before
beginning. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes
when applied to a hot surface. Sprayed chemicals
could ignite or cause hot metal parts to corrode.
• Keep the ignitor ports clean for proper lighting
performance of the burners. It is necessary to
clean these when there is a boilover or when the
burner does not light even though the electronic
ignitors click.
• This range is intended for residential use only.
It is not approved for outdoor use.
• Take care that drafts like those from fans or
forced air vents do not blow flammable material
toward the burners.
• Always position handles of utensils inward so
they do not extend over adjacent work areas, burners
or the edge of the cooktop.
• If you smell gas, your installer has not done a
proper job of checking for leaks. If the
connections are not perfectly tight, you can have a
small leak and, therefore, a faint smell. Finding a gas
leak is not a “do-it-yourself” procedure. Some leaks
can only be found with the burner control in the ON
position and this must be done by a qualified service
technician. See Warning, page. 1.
• Open a window or door in the event that a
burner goes out and gas escapes. Do not attempt
to use the cooktop until the gas has had time to
dissipate. Wait at least five minutes before using the
range.
• Always place pan on burner before turning it
on. Be sure you know which knob controls which
burner. When cooking is complete, turn the burner off
before removing the pan.
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.

Cooktop
Right Side Burner - Side View
Before Using the Cooktop
• Remove all packing materials and labels from the
cooktop surface.
• While cool, wipe with a clean, damp sponge and dry.
• Optimum cooking results depend on the proper
cookware being selected and used.
• Read and understand all safety precautions and Use
and Care Manual information prior to operating.
Cooktop Features
A range of heat settings are listed because the actual setting
depends on:
1) size, type and quality of pan (See “Cookware Selection Guide”,
page 26).
2) type, quantity and temperature of the food.
3) burner used.
4) the cook’s preference.
Sealed Gas Burners
Your new cooktop has sealed gas burners and
removable burner caps. There are no burner parts
under the cooktop to clean, disassemble or adjust. Your
cooktop has four (4) different burner cap sizes. Match
the pan size to the burner size.
Burner Caps
The burner cap is porcelainized steel. Make sure the
burner cap is completely seated into the burner base
before attempting to light the burner. If the burner cap
is not placed correctly, the burner may not light or the
flame may not burn completely or correctly.
Burner Grates
Your cooktop has two grates: one for the left side of the
cooktop and one for the right side of the cooktop.
Position them as shown in the figure below. Do not
operate the burner without a pan on the grate.
Use this chart as a guide for heat settings:

Burner Performance
For best cooking results, observe the following burner
characteristics:
PowerSim™ Burner (Some Models): The PowerSim™
is the largest, most versatile burner on the cooktop. The
burner 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 and high enough to stir-fry and boil
quickly. The large burner cap also accommodates 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.
All igniters spark when any single burner is turned
ON. Do not touch any of the burners when the
cooktop is in use.
Burner Control Knobs
Cooktop Operation
Power Failure
In the event of a power failure, the cooktop 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.
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 22. 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.
Control Knobs - Front View
The burner controls have an infinite number of heat
settings with no fixed positions. A plastic bezel is
located under each control knob.
To LIGHT: Select the appropriate control knob, push in
and turn counterclockwise to the flame symbol. The
ignitor will click.
To SET FLAME SIZE: After lighting, turn
counterclockwise to the desired flame size.
Turn OFF by turning the control knob clockwise to OFF.
To remove knob, spring and bezel: Place knob in
the OFF position. Pull straight out and off. Spring and
bezel will be loose and can be pulled straight off after
the knob is removed.
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 ignitor.
• If the ignitor 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 26.

Use - The Oven
Oven Racks
Depending on the model, the range is equipped with
either three flat racks or two flat racks and one full
extension rack. The racks are designed with a stop so
they will stop before coming completely out of the oven
and not tilt.
Oven Modes and Features
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.
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 (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 self-
cleaning oven.

Oven Modes and Features
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, stagger pans
as shown in 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 pans for pies.
Insulated baking pans may increase the length of the
recommended baking time.

Oven
BAKE, PROOF (some models) and WARM
Oven Modes - Bake and Convection Bake
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.
Proofing is the rising of a yeast dough. In the Proofing
mode, the oven will use the upper and lower element to
maintain a low temperature to proof bread.
• 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
accomodates the size of the container.
• Keep the door closed and use the oven light to
check the rising of the dough.
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.
Baking is cooking with dry, heated air. Both the upper
and lower element cycle to maintain the oven
temperature:
Convection Bake Chart
*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.

Oven Modes - Broil and Convection Roast
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.
ALWAYS BROIL WITH THE DOOR CLOSED
*Broiling times are approximate and may vary slightly. Times are
based on cooking with a preheated broil element.

CONVECTION ROAST
Convection Roast uses heat from the bottom burner 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.

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.

Using the Probe (some models)
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 self-
clean with the probe installed in the oven.
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.
4. Touch COOKING MODE and select BAKE,
CONVECTION BAKE or CONVECTION ROAST.
5. Touch START. The default oven temperature will
appear.
6. Turn knob to change oven temperature if
necessary.
7. Touch START.
8. Turn knob to set the probe temperature (desired
end temperature of the food).
9. Touch START.
• 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° 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.
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.
• 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
.
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.
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. Touch TEMPERATURE. OVEN TEMP 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

Care and Cleaning - Oven
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.
Self Cleaning the Oven
Do not use commercial oven cleaners on the self-clean
oven or any part; they will damage the finish or part.

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.
• The preset length of cleaning time is 4 hours. 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.
WARNING
Care and Cleaning
A flexible door gasket is
necessary for a good seal.
Do not clean, rub, damage or
move the gasket.
Do not remove oven bottom.

Cookware Selection Guide
Match Pan Diameter to Flame Size
– The flame should be the same size as the bottom of the pan or
smaller. Do not use small pans with high flame settings as the
flames can lick up the sides of the pan.
– Oversize pans that span two burners are placed on the left side,
front to rear (not side to side).
Use Balanced Pans
– Pans must sit level on the cooktop grate without rocking.
– Center pan over burner.
Use a Lid That Fits Properly
– A well-fitting lid helps shorten the cooking time.
For best results, choose cookware with the following characteristics:
• Aluminum or copper bottomed pans conduct heat evenly.
• Steel pans, if not combined with other metals, may cook unevenly.
• Cast-iron cookware absorbs heat slowly and cooks more evenly at low-to-medium settings.
• Flat, heavy bottom pans provide even heat and stability.
DO NOT USE pans that are thin, warped, dented or ridged as they heat unevenly.
• Use a wok with a flat bottom.
• For simmering stews and soups, use right front burner. For melting chocolate, use the burner in the right
rear position.
• Canners and pressure cookers must meet the same requirements as described above. After bringing
contents to a boil, use lowest heat setting possible to maintain a boil or pressure (for pressure canners/
cookers).
