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.

Althoughcyclingisnormal,anyoneofthefollowingconditions

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 size of the element.

• The pan has boiled dry.

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

heat.

A range of heat settings are listed because the actual

setting depends on:

1)typeandqualityofpan(See“SelectingCookware” on

page 23)

2) type, quantity and temperature of the food

3) element used

4) the cook’s preference.

208/240 Volt Connection: The Heat Settings

recommended on this page are based on a 240 volt

power source. If your cooktop is connected to 208 volts,

the same heat settings apply but foods may take a little

Oven Features

Oven Racks

Your oven has three flat racks. They are designed with a stop Preheating is necessary for good results when baking cakes,

so they will stop before coming completely out and not tilt. cookies,pastryandbreads. Whenusingtheprobepreheating

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

preheatedandtheselectedoventemperaturewillbedisplayed.

CAUTION:TOAVOIDPOSSIBLEBURNS,PLACE

OVEN RACKS IN DESIRED POSITIONS BEFORE

TURNING THE OVEN ON. ALWAYS USE OVEN MITTS

WHEN THE OVEN IS WARM.

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

position and push the rest of the way in. Rack should be

straight and flat, not crooked.

Pan Placement

Bakingresultsarebetterifpansareplacedinthecenterofthe

oven. If baking more than one pan on a rack, allow at least

1"to1½”ofairspacearoundthepan. Whenbakingfourcake

layers at the same time, place pans on two racks so that one

pan is not directly above the other. Do not place food directly

on oven bottom.

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

manufacturerrecommendations.Useglassordarkmetalpans

for pies.

Insulated baking pans may increase the length of the

recommended baking time.

Rack Position

(see graphic at right for further details)

RACK 6 (highest position) – Use for melting cheese, broiling

thin foods

RACK 5 – Use for broiling most meats, 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, cakes, frozen

convenience foods, biscuits, brownies, muffins

RACK 2 – Used 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

recommendations below.

Two rack: Use rack positions 1 and 5.

Multiple Rack Cooking - Pan Placement

One Rack

To allow for best baking results for cakes, place items on back

of upper rack and front of lower rack (see graphic at right).

Three rack: (for convection bake): Use positions 1, 3 and 5.

The rack in position 3 can be telescopic if desired.

Oven Modes - Bake and Convection Bake

BAKE and WARM

CONVECTION BAKE

Convection Baking is similar to Baking. In this case, heat

also comes from the top and bottom elements. The main

difference in convection baking is that the heat is circulated

throughout the oven by the convection fan:

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, frompastriestocasseroles. Itcanalsobeusedtoroast

meats.

The Convection Bake mode is well-suited for baking large

quantitiesoffoodonmultipleracks. Itcanbeusedtoprepare

cookies, pies, cupcakes, pastries, breads, snack foods and

appetizers among other items.

The benefits of Convection Baking include:

•

Slight decrease in cooking time

Betterresultsforthreerackcooking (more evenbrowning)

Higher Volume (yeast items rise higher)

Cook more items at once

In the Warming mode, the oven uses the upper and lower

elementtomaintainalowtemperaturetokeepfoodatserving

temperature.

For Best Results:

•

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 cpvered with

a lid or aluminum foil.

•

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.

Oven Modes - Broil

BROIL

For Best Results:

•

Preheat oven 3-4 minutes

Broiling uses intense heat radiated from the upper element:

Steaks and Chops should be at least 3/4” thick

Brushfishandpoultrywithbutteroroiltopreventsticking

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®.

Neveruseheat-proofglass(Pyrex®);theycannottolerate

the high temperature.

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, casseroles and other foods.

The benefits of Broiling include:

Cleaning the Glass 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.

Do Not Use the Following Cleaners

• Glass cleaners which contain ammonia or chlorine

bleach. These ingredients may permanently etch or stain

the cooktop.

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.

• Caustic Cleaners

Oven cleaners such as Easy Off^®may etch the cooktop

surface.

• Abrasive Cleaners

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.

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.

Daily Cleaning Techniques

1. Clean the surface when it is completely cool with the

Cooktop Cleaning Crème.

Exception: Remove Dry Sugar, Sugar Syrup, Tomato

Products and Milk immediately with the razor blade

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.

scraper (See Care and Cleaning Chart, next page).

2. Wipe off spatters with a clean, damp sponge or paper

towel.Rinseanddry.Usewhitevinegarifsmudgeremains;

rinse.

3. Apply a small amount of the Cooktop Cleaning

Cream. When dry, buff surface with a clean paper towel

or cloth.

Cleaning the Control Knobs and Bezels

The bezel is the plastic piece behind the knob.

Pull out and off to remove both knob and bezel. Wipe

with hot, soapy cloth, rinse and dry. Do not soak.

To replace, position knob on top of bezel hold spring tight.

Place both knob and bezel on shaft at the same time and

release spring.

Using the Razor Blade Scraper

Use the scraper to remove dried or baked on foods. Hold the

scraper at a 45° 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.

Care and Cleaning - Cooktop

Cooktop Care Chart

TYPE OF SOIL

POSSIBLE SOLUTION

Drysugar, sugarsyrup, milkortomatospills. Melted

plastic film or foil. All these items REQUIRE

IMMEDIATE REMOVAL. Remove only these types of

spills while the surface is hot using the razor blade

scraper.

Failure to remove these soils immediately can

permanently damage the surface.

• Remove pan and turn off the element.

• Wearing an oven mitt, hold scraper at 30^oangle, using

care not to gouge or scratch the glass. Push soil off the

heated area.

Be sure to use a new, sharp razor in your scraper.

• After the surface has cooled, remove the residue and

apply the Cooktop Cleaning Creme.

• Soften by laying a damp paper towel or sponge on top

of soil for about 30 minutes.

Burned-on food soil, dark streaks, and specks

• Use a plastic scrubber and Cooktop Cleaning Creme or

use the razor blade scraper. Rinse and dry.

Greasy spatters

• Use a soapy sponge or cloth to remove grease; rinse

thoroughly and dry. Apply Cooktop Cleaning Creme.

Metal marks: Iridescent stain

• Pans with aluminum, copper or stainless steel bases may

leave marks. Treat immediately, after surface has cooled,

withtheCooktopCleaningCreme. Ifthisdoesnotremove

the metal marks, try a mild abrasive (Bon Ami^®, Soft

Scrub^®without bleach) with a dampened paper towel.

Rinse and reapply creme.

Failure to remove metal marks before the next

heating makes removal very difficult.

Hard water spots

Hot cooking liquids dripped on surface

• The minerals in some water can be transferred onto the

surface and cause stains. Use undiluted white vinegar,

rinse and dry. Recondition with Cooktop Cleaning Creme.

Remove boilovers and stains, before using the

cooktop again.

Surface scratches

• Apply Cleaning Creme before using to remove sand-like

grains and grit such as salt and seasoning.

• Canbereducedbyusingpanswithbasesthataresmooth,

clean, and dry before use. Use Cooktop Cleaning Creme

daily on the cooktop.

Care and Cleaning - Oven

Preparing the Oven for Self Clean

1. Remove all utensils and bakeware.

Self Cleaning the Oven

2. Remove oven racks. If oven racks are left in the oven

duringtheself-cleancycle, theywillpermanentlylosethe

shiny finish and change to a dull dark finish. 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

andhotwater. Donotcleanorrubthegasketontheoven.

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 bulb and

lens cover are in place. Do not operate oven without

lightbulb and cover in place.

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

andamount 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 the Self-Clean Mode, the door latch is automatically

activated when the oven reaches 450° F. This

ensures that the door cannot be opened while the oven

interior is at high clean temperatures.The door

lock symbol will appear in the display at this point. The

door will not lock until the ovenreaches 450° F.

When the lock symbol appears in the display,

gently pull on the door to confirm that it is locked.

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 oven can

also be cleaned for three or five hours.

The mode automatically stops at the end of the clean

hours.

When the oven heat returns to 350° F after cleaning, the

automatic door lock will release and the door can be

opened.

Commercial Oven Cleaners are not to be used on the

self-clean oven or any part because they will damage

the finish or part.

Care and Cleaning - Oven

After self-cleaning, the entire oven can be safely cleaned with a soapy sponge, rinsed and dried.

If stubborn soil remains, follow the recommended cleaning methods below.

•

Always use the mildest cleaner that will remove the soil.

Rub metal finishes in the direction of the grain.

Use clean, soft cloths, sponges or paper towels.

Rinse thoroughly with a minimum of water so it does not drip into door slots.

Dry to avoid water marks.

The cleaners listed below indicate types of products to use and are not being endorsed. Use all products according to package

directions.

CLEANING METHOD

Oven

Racks

Wash with hot sudsy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry. Or, gently rub with cleansing powder or soap filled

pads as directed. If racks are cleaned in the oven during the self-clean mode, they will lose their shiny finish

and may not glide smoothly. If this happens, wipe the rack edges with a small amount of vegetable oil, then

wipe off excess.

sponge/towel on hot porcelain. When cool, clean with hot sudsy water or apply Bon-Ami^®or Soft Scrub^®to a

damp sponge. Rinse and dry. For stubborn stains, gently use soap filled pads. It is normal for porcelain to craze

(fine lines) with age due to exposure from heat and food soil.

medium-to-heavy-weight pans are best.

• Do not slide metal pots across the cooktop. Pans may leave

marks which need to be removed immediately. See Care

and Cleaning Section.

• Do not use glass pans as they may scratch the surface.

To Test the Flatness of Your Pans

Turn the pan upside down on the countertop and place a ruler

flat against the bottom of the pan. The bottom of the pan and

the straight edge of the ruler should be flush against each

other.

Anothersimpletesttodetermineevenheatdistributionacross

the cookware bottom is to place 1” of water in the pan. Bring

the water to a boil and observe the location of the bubbles as

the water starts to boil. Good, flat cookware will have an even

distribution of bubbles over the bottom surface area.

Specialty Pans

Specialty pans such as griddles, roasters, pressure cookers,

woks, water bath canners and pressure canners must have

the same features as described above. Use only a flat-

bottomed wok. Never place a support ring, such as a wok

ring or trivet, on the cooking surface.

Matching Diameters – The base of the pan should cover

or match the diameter of the element being used. Pans may

overhang the element area by 1" all around.

Tight Fitting Lids – A lid shortens cooking time and water

boils faster by holding the heat inside the pan.

Specialty pans, such as griddles, roasters, pressure cookers,

woks, water bath canners and pressure canners must have

the same features as described above. (Use only a flat-
