WARNING

When properly cared for, your new Siemens 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 splatters or cleaning
solutions 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 Siemens range referred to thoughout this manual is manufactured by BSH Home Appliance Corporation

Getting Started

Use - The Cooktop

Care and Cleaning

Self Help

• 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.

Getting StartedUse - The CooktopCare and CleaningSelf Help

• 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.

• 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.

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 low­medium 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 approriate for ceramic
cooktop use on the cooktop (See Cookware Selection
Guide”, pg. 29 for further details). Other types of
utensils may break with sudden temperature changes.
Use only on low or medium heat settings when
possible. Use utensils according to the manufacturer’s
directions.

• Match pan size to size of element. Undersized pans
expose element to direct contact which could result in
burn or injury. Proper pan size also improves efficiency.

Important Safety Instructions

• Clean cooktop with caution. Be careful to avoid

steam burns when cleaning ahot cooktop with a wet
sponge. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes
when if applied to a hot surface.

• This range is intended for residential use only.

It is not approved for outdoor use.

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.

Range Operation Overview:

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

• 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

Siemens quickStart™ 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 (HE25 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.

Oven Modes and Features

Oven Racks

Your oven has three racks. HE25 models have 2 flat and
one full extension rack. All others have three flat racks.
They are designed with a stop so they will stop before
coming completely out and not tilt.

Getting StartedUse - The CooktopCare and CleaningSelf Help

Oven

Insert Rack with back of rack

toward back wall of range

Figure 1 - The Flat Rack

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 your Siemens
dealer or call Siemens Service: 866-44SIEMENS (447-

4363) 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.

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.

Getting Started

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.

Use - The Cooktop

Oven

CAUTION:

Many factors affect cooking performance.

Always check food for doneness before serving.

Care and Cleaning

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 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.
See graphic at right.
Three rack: (for convection bake): Use positions 1, 3 and

6.

Oven Modes and Features

Baking is cooking with dry, heated air. Both the upper

and lower element cycle to maintain the oven
temperature:

Getting StartedUse - The CooktopCare and CleaningSelf Help

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

Oven

hot until ready to serve.

• The Warming mode temperatures are 140° - 220°F.

The default temperature is 170°.

• 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°.

• 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.

BAKE, PROOF (some models) and
WARM

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.

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.

Oven Modes and Features

DEHYDRATE

Dehydrate dries food 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 Siemens 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.

Oven Operation - Using the Probe (HE25 Models Only)

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. Touch COOKING MODE and select BAKE,
CONVECTION BAKE or CONVECTIONROAST.

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
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.

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.

Care and Cleaning - The Cooktop

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. 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.

Getting StartedUse - The CooktopCare and CleaningSelf Help

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.

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

Care and Cleaning - The Oven

Self-cleaning the Oven

The Siemens 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.

Getting StartedUse - The CooktopCare and CleaningSelf Help

• 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 cylce.

• 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.

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 giudes. 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 light bulb 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.
