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<leaning 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: !. 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.

COOKTOP SAFETY
%_en usingthecod<top,DO NOTTOUCH THE HOT COOK%NG AREA OR THE IMMEDIATE SURROUNDING AREA. Areas
adjacent to the burners may become hot enough to cause burns. Never let clothing, potholders, or other flammable materials come in contact with acooking area until it has
cooled. 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. Other than the use of metal pans, only certain types of glass,heatproof glass ceramic, ceramic, 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.
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.
Always position handles of utensils inward so they do not
extend over adjacent work areas, burners or the edge of the cooktop. Do not dean the cooktop while it is still hot. Some
cleaners produce noxious fumes when applied to a hot
surface.
S|:LF_CLFAMING SAFETY
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 SeIFClean. Phone 800/944=2904
for service.
Note; During a normal Self Clean cycle, the door does not
lock atthe 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 notto rub, damage, move or remove the oven gasket.
o 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 and other utensilsand wipe out excess softspillage,
REGARDING PET BIRDS:
Birdshaveverysensitiverespiratorysystems.Keep petbirds outofthekitchenorotherrooms where kitchenfumes 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.
OVEN SAFETY
To reduce the risk of fire:
Do not store flammable materials in. on or near the oven.
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.
o Have an appropriate fire extinguisher available, nearby,
highly visible and easily accessible near the oven. Do not use the oven's cavity for the storage of any item,
especially anything that iscombustible, toxic, or flammable. If materials inside the oven should ignite, keep oven door
closed.Turn offoven, disconnect the circuit atthe circuit breaker box and turn off gas supply at shut off valve.
Do not blockanyventopenings. NEVEPcover anyslots, holes and passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack with
materials such as aluminum foil Doing so blocks air flow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning.
Aluminum foil linings may alsotrap heat, causing a fire hazard. Never use the oven to warm or heat a room. This can
damage the oven parts and may result in carbon monoxide poisoning or overheating of the oven.
Never wear loose=fitting or hanging garments while using the appliance. Becareful 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, lean, or sit on am/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 injur%
Have the installer show the location of the gas shutoff valve
and the circuit breaker or fuse. Hark the circuit breaker or fuse for easy reference.
WARMING DRAWER SAFETY
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to pe_ons:
Do not use the warming drawer for storage. Flammable or combustible material may ignite, and toxic material could produce toxic vapors or explode.
Exercise caution when opening the drawer=standing to the side, open the door slowly and slightly to let hot air and/ or steam escape, keeping your face clear of the opening and making surethere are no children or pets near the unit. Only after the release of hot air and!or steam should you proceed to access the warming drawer. Unless needed for cooking or cleaning purposes, keep drawer shut, and do not leave the drawer open unattended.
Do not place food in unopened containers in the warming drawer. Pressure could build up and cause containers to
burst,

ADD][TONAL PRECAUTIONS FOR GAS-
POWERED APPLIANCES:
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, "What to do if
you Smell Gas.", page !.
In the event that a burner goes out and gas escapes, open a window or door. Do not attempt to usethe cooktop until the gas has had time to dissipate. Wait at least five minutes before using the range.
Do not hang articles from any part of the appliance or place anything against the oven. Some fabrics are quite flammable and may catch on fire.
Ifthe range is near a window, be certain the curtains do not blow over or near the cooktop burners. They could catch on fire.
When using the cooktop, do not touch the burner grates or the immediate surrounding area. Areas adjacent to
the burners may become hot enough to cause burns.
Never leavethe cooktop unattended when in use. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. Hore importantly, if the burner flames are smothered, unburned gas will escape into the room. See warning,
"What to do if you Smell Gas", page 1. Avoid high flame settings with a pan larger than the grate
or with one that spans more than one burner, for prolonged periods of time. That can result in poor combustion that results in harmful by=products.
For proper lighting performance of the burners, keep the
ignitor ports dean. It is necessary to dean these when there is a boilover or when the burner does not light even though the electronic ignitors click.
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.
Besure all cooktop controls are turned offand the cooktop
is cool before using any type of aerosol cleaner on or
around the cooktop. The sprayed chemicals could ignite
or cause hot metal parts to corrode.
Grease is flammable. Let hot grease cool before
attempting to handle it. Avoid letting grease deposits
collect. Clean after each use.
Do not allow flames to spread around or over the rim of
pan that contains grease. A grease fire could be ignited. 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.
RANGE SAFETY
In order to prevent possible burn injury while using the appliance, 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. Beaware that certain clothing and hair sprays may contain flammable
chemicals. The burners may be hot even though they are not on.
Interior surfaces of an oven become hot enough to cause burns.
Do not touch burners or interior surfaces of oven during
operation.
During and after use, do not touch or let clothing or other
flammable materials contact the burners or the interior surfaces of the oven until they have had sufficient time to
cool. The trim on the sides of the oven door may become hot
enough to cause burns.
Exercise caution when opening the door-standing to the side, open the door slowly and slightly to let hot air and!or steam escape, keeping your face dear of the oven opening and making sure there are nochildren or pets near the unit. Only after the release of hot air and/or steam should you proceed with your cooking. Unless needed for cooking or cleaning purposes, keep doors shut, and do not leave open
doors unattended.
Donot heat unopened food containers. Build-up ofpressure may cause the container to burst and cause injury. Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is
cool. Ifa rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact the hot heating elements.
Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result inburns from steam. Do not letpotholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use atowel or other bulky cloth.
Keep the oven free from grease build up.
Do not place food directly on oven bottom. When using cooking or roasting bags in the oven, follow the
manufacturer's directions.
Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottoms. Improper installation of aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric
shock or fire. Toavoid electric shock, do not operate the oven without the
light bulb cover in place.
