- State of California Proposition 65 Warnings
This product may contain a chemical known to the State of California, which can cause cancer or reproductive harm. Therefore, the packaging of your product may bear the following label as required by California:
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE: The California Safe Drinking and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substance known to the state to cause cancer, birth defect 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 fibreglass 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 minimised 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.
Preventing material damage
- General
NOTICE:
The presence of objects on the oven cavity bottom will cause heat to build up. The baking and roasting times will no longer be correct and the enamel will be damaged.
1. Do not cover the oven cavity bottom with any sort of foil or grease proof paper.
2. Do not place accessories on the oven cavity bottom. If aluminium foil comes into contact with the door glass, it could cause permanent discoloration.
3. Do not allow aluminium foil in the oven cavity to come into contact with the door glass.
When the oven cavity is hot, any water inside it will create steam. The change in temperature may cause damage.
4. Never pour water into the oven cavity when it is still hot.
5. Never place cookware containing water on the oven cavity bottom.
The prolonged presence of moisture in the oven cavity leads to corrosion.
6. Allow the oven cavity to dry after use.
7. Do not keep moist food in the oven cavity for a long time with the door closed.
8. Do not store food in the oven cavity.
Leaving the appliance to cool down with the door open will damage the front of neighbouring kitchen units over time.
9. Always allow the oven cavity to cool down with the door closed after cooking at high temperatures. Only leave the oven cavity to dry with the door open if a lot of moisture was produced during operation.
10. Take care not to trap anything in the appliance door. Fruit juice dripping from the baking tray leaves stains that cannot be removed.
11. When baking very juicy fruit pies, do not pack too much on the baking tray. If the seal is very dirty, the appliance door will not close properly when the appliance is in operation. This may damage the front of adjacent kitchen units.
12. Never operate the appliance if the seal is damaged or missing.
Sitting or placing objects on the appliance door may damage it.
13. Do not place or hang objects on the appliance door.
14. Do not place cookware or accessories on the appliance door.
With certain models, accessories may scratch the door glass when closing the appliance door.
15. Always push accessories fully into the oven cavity.
Carrying the appliance by the door handle could break it.
The door handle cannot support the weight of the appliance.
16. Do not carry or hold the appliance by the door handle.
Environmental protection and energy-saving
- Disposal of packaging
The packaging materials are environmentally compatible and can be recycled.
1. Sort the individual components by type and dispose of them separately. - Saving energy
If you follow these recommendations, your appliance will use less energy.
Only preheat the appliance if the recipe or the recommended settings tell you to do so.
√ Not preheating the appliance can reduce the energy used.
Use dark-coloured, black-coated or enamelled baking pans. a These types of √ baking pans absorb the heat particularly well.
Open the appliance door as little as possible during operation.
√ This will maintain the temperature in the oven cavity and eliminate the need for the appliance to reheat.
When baking multiple dishes, do so in succession or at the same time.
√ The oven cavity is heated after baking the first dish. This reduces the baking time for the second dish. If the cooking time is relatively long, you can switch the appliance off 10 minutes before the cooking time ends.
√ There will be enough residual heat to finish cooking the dish.
Remove any accessories that are not being used from the oven cavity.
√ An extra pan without food affects the browning and cooking.
Allow frozen food to defrost before cooking.
√ This will save the energy that would otherwise be required to defrost it.
Use Eco heating modes, if available.
√ EcoChef™ is an intelligent heating mode that allows you to gently cook meat, fish and baked items. The appliance optimally controls the supply of energy to the oven cavity. The food is cooked in phases using residual heat. This means that it remains more succulent and browns less.
Depending on the preparation and food, you can save energy. If you preheat the appliance or open the appliance door before the food has finished cooking, you may not be able to achieve this result.

- Rack positions
Your oven has six rack positions. The rack positions are counted from bottom to top.
Use rack positions 1 through 6 only. DO NOT attempt to use the top guide to support an oven rack.
- Getting the best results
♦ Minimize opening the oven door.
♦ Use the rack position recommended by the recipe.
♦ Use the bakeware recommended in the recipe.
♦ Store pans outside the oven. An extra pan without food affects the browning and cooking.
♦ The type of pan used affects the browning.
– For tender, golden brown crusts, use light non-stick/ anodized or shiny metal pans.
– For brown crisp crusts, use dark non-stick, anodized or dark, dull metal pans or glass bakeware. These may require lowering the bake temperature 25°F.
Preheating the oven
♦ Most cooking times in recipes are designed for a preheated oven and require that the oven already be at a certain temperature before cooking starts. Refer to your recipe for preheating recommendations.
♦ Preheating time depends on the temperature setting and the number of racks in the oven.
Bakeware type
♦ Metal bakeware with or without a non-stick finish, heatproof glass, glass-ceramic, pottery, or other utensils are suitable for the oven.
♦ Suitable cookie sheets have a small lip on one side. Heavy sheets or those with more than one side may affect the baking time.
Pan placement
♦ Allow at least 1” (2.5 cm) of space between the pans and the oven walls so heat can circulate around each pan.
♦ Stagger bakeware so that one is not directly above another. Allow 1½” (4 cm) above and below each pan.
High altitude baking
When cooking at high altitudes, recipes and cooking times will vary. For accurate information, go to www.csuextstore.com, or write to the Extension Service, Colorado State University, Fort Collins, Colorado 80521.
There may be a cost for the guides. Specify which high altitude food preparation guide you prefer: general information, cakes, cookies, breads, etc.
Condensation
It is normal for a certain amount of moisture to evaporate from the food during any cooking process. The amount depends on the moisture content of the food. The moisture will condense on any surface cooler than the inside of the oven, such as the control panel. - General tips for heating modes
How to use Bake mode
Use the Bake mode to prepare a variety of food items, from pastries to casseroles.
Refer to recipe or package directions for oven temperature and baking time.
Note
♦ Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cakes, biscuits and breads.
♦ Use the convection bake function for best results when baking cookies on multiple racks.
♦ Bake is the best function to use for baking cakes.
♦ Allow at least 2” (5 cm) of space between bakeware for proper air circulation.
♦ Dark or dull bakeware absorbs more heat than shiny bakeware, resulting in dark or over browned foods. It may be necessary to reduce oven temperature or cook time to prevent over browning of some foods.
♦ Shiny pans are recommended for cakes, cookies, and muffins.
♦ Do not open oven door often. Opening the door will reduce the temperature in the oven and may increase cook time.
♦ For cakes use rack positions 2 and 4. Stagger pans so that one is not directly above the other.
How to use Conv Bake mode
Use the Conv Bake mode for bar cookies and breads. This mode takes advantage of the bottom heat, yielding a better crust on baked items.
The benefits of convection bake include a slight decrease in cook time and a higher dough volume, for example yeast items rise higher with this mode.
Note
♦ Conv Bake is the best function to use for baking cakes.
♦ Reduce recipe temperature by 25°F. Refer to the cooking chart.
♦ Place food in shallow, uncovered pans, such as cookie sheets without sides.
♦ If baking more than one pan on a rack, allow at least 1″ to 1½” (2.5 to 4 cm) of air space around the pan.
♦ Allow at least 2” (5 cm) of space between bakeware for proper air circulation.
How to use Conv Multi Rack mode
Use Conv Multi Rack for cooking individual serving-sized foods such as cookies and biscuits. It is also good for cooking on multiple racks (2 or 3) at the same time. The benefits of Conv Multi Rack include even browning and time savings as a result of using multiple racks at one time.
Note
♦ Baking cookies is possible on 6 racks simultaneously. In this case, the baking time increases slightly.
♦ Reduce recipe temperature by 25°F if auto convection conversion is not activated.
♦ Place food in low-sided, uncovered pans such as cookie sheets without sides.
♦ If baking more than one pan on a rack, allow at least 1″ to 1½” (2.5 to 4 cm) of air space around the pan.
♦ Stagger pans so that one is not directly above the other. How to use Pizza mode
Note
Follow these recommendations:
♦ There might be a slight decrease in baking time. Check before minimum package time.
♦ When baking a frozen pizza: For a crispy crust, place directly on the rack. For a softer crust, use a pizza pan.
♦ When proofing pizza dough, coat dough with olive oil and cover it in a bowl tightly with plastic wrap to prevent crust formation.
♦ If par baking handmade pizza dough, prick the dough with a fork before baking.
♦ If using a pizza pan, choose a dark, perforated pan for a more crisp crust and a non-perforated pan for a softer crust.
♦ Preheat baking stones following manufacturer’s recommendations while the oven is preheating.
♦ Bake homemade pizzas on rack position 2 in the centre of the rack.

How to use Conv Roast mode
Use the Conv Roast mode for preparing tender cuts of meat and poultry. It is also suitable for roasting vegetables.
The benefits of Conv Roast mode include as much as 25% faster cooking than non-convection modes and rich, golden browning.
Note
♦ Preheating the oven is not necessary.
♦ Use the same temperature as indicated in the recipe.
♦ Check doneness early, since roasting time may decrease.
♦ Do not cover meat or use cooking bags.
♦ Use a broil pan with a rack and grid or a shallow, uncovered pan with a rack for roasting.
♦ Use a meat thermometer to determine the internal temperature of the meat.
♦ If the meat is browned to your liking, but is not yet done, foil can be placed over the meat to prevent overbrowning.
♦ Let meat stand covered with foil 10-15 minutes after removing it from the oven.
How to use Broil (high/low) mode
The Broil (high/low) mode uses intense heat radiated from the upper element. Use this mode for cooking thin, tender cuts of meat, 1″ (2.5 cm) or less, poultry and fish. It can also be used to brown breads and casseroles.

WARNING
Failure to follow these instructions when removing the oven door may lead to personal injury or product damage.
♦ Make sure oven is cool and power to the oven has been turned off before removing the door. Failure to do so could result in electrical shock or burns.
♦ The oven door is heavy and parts of it are fragile. Use both hands to remove the oven door.

♦ Grasp only the side of the oven door. Do not grasp the handle. It may swing in your hand and cause damage or injury. Failure to grasp the oven door firmly and properly could result in personal injury or product damage.
♦ To avoid injury from hinge bracket snapping closed, be sure both levers are securely in place before removing the door.
♦ Do not force the door open or closed. The hinge could be damaged and cause damage or injury.
♦ Do not lay the removed door on sharp or pointed objects as this could break the glass. Lay it on a flat, smooth surface, positioned so that the door cannot fall over.
1. Open the oven door to its fully open position.
2. Flip levers on hinges toward you.
If necessary, use a tool, such as a screwdriver, to gently pry the upper part of the lever away from the housing. Take care to avoid scratching the housing.
3. Bring both door hinge levers to their fullest down position. The left and right door hinges differ slightly but operate in the same manner.
4. CAUTION Follow the instructions below to prevent the latch from slamming shut and pinching or cutting your hand.
Close the oven door until it catches on the hinge stop levers, locking the hinges at the proper angle for door removal.
√ The door will be open about 7″ (18 cm) at the top.

6. Place the door in a convenient and stable location. Do not lay the door on its handle. This could cause dents or scratches.
Reinstalling the oven door
1. Hold the door firmly in both hands. Grip it on either side, not by the handle.
2. Tilt the door back slightly towards you at an angle that would open the door about 7″ (18 cm) at the top.

The angle of the door may need to be adjusted slightly to allow the hinges to engage properly and the door to be lowered into place. The door should lower about 3/4″ (2 cm) and stop. If it does not, the hinges have not engaged properly and the door could fall if it is released.
4. Once both hinges are fully engaged, gently open the door until it is fully open.
5. Push the levers on both the hinges up and forward until they are locked into the slot and flush with the front of the oven body.

STATEMENT OF LIMITED PRODUCT WARRANTY
- What this warranty covers & Who it applies to
The limited warranty provided by BSH Home Appliances (“Bosch“) in this Statement of Limited Product Warranty applies only to the Bosch appliance sold to you (“Product“), provided that the Product was purchased:
♦ For your normal, household (non-commercial) use, and has in fact at all times only been used for normal household purposes.
♦ New at retail (not a display, “as is”, or previously returned model), and not for resale, or commercial use.
♦ Within the United States or Canada, and has at all times remained within the country of original purchase.
The warranties stated herein apply to the original purchaser of the product warranted herein and to each succeeding owner of the product purchased for ordinary home use during the term of the warranty. Please make sure to return your registration card; while not necessary to effectuate warranty coverage, it is the best way for Bosch to notify you in the unlikely event of a safety notice or product recall. - How long the warranty lasts
Bosch warrants that the Product is free from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of three hundred sixty-five (365) days from the date of the original purchase. The foregoing timeline begins to run upon the date of the original purchase, and shall not be stalled, tolled, extended, or suspended, for any reason whatsoever. This Product is also warranted to be free from cosmetic defects in material and workmanship (such as scratches of stainless steel, paint/porcelain blemishes, chip, dents, or other damage to the finish) of the Product, for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of purchase or closing date for new construction. This cosmetic warranty excludes slight colour variations due to inherent differences in painted and porcelain parts, as well as differences caused by kitchen lighting, product location, or other similar factors. This cosmetic warranty specifically excludes any display, floor, “As Is”, or “B” stock appliances. - Repair/replace as your exclusive remedy
During this warranty period, Bosch or one of its authorised service providers will repair your Product without charge to you (subject to certain limitations stated herein) if your Product proves to have been manufactured with a defect in materials or workmanship. If reasonable attempts to repair the Product have been made without success, then Bosch will replace your Product (upgraded models may be available to you, in Bosch’s sole discretion, for an additional charge). Nothing in this warranty requires damaged or defective parts to be replaced with parts of a different type or design than the original part. All removed parts and components shall become the property of Bosch at its sole option. All replaced and/or repaired parts shall assume the identity of the original part for purposes of this warranty and this warranty shall not be extended with respect to such parts. Bosch’s sole liability and responsibility hereunder is to repair manufacturer-defective Product only, using a Bosch authorised service provider during normal business hours. For safety and property damage concerns, Bosch highly recommends that you do not attempt to repair the Product yourself, or use a non-authorised service provider; Bosch will have no responsibility or liability for repairs or work performed by a non-authorised service provider. Authorised service providers are those persons
or companies that have been specially trained on Bosch products, and who possess, in Bosch’s opinion, a superior reputation for customer service and technical ability (note that they are independent entities and are not agents,
partners, affiliates or representatives of Bosch). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bosch will not incur any liability, or have responsibility, for the Product if it is located in a remote area (more than 100 miles from an authorised service provider) or is reasonably inaccessible, hazardous,
threatening, or treacherous locale, surroundings, or environment; in any such event, if you request, Bosch would still pay for lobar and parts and ship the parts to the near-est authorised service provider, but you would still be fully liable and responsible for any travel time or other special charges by the service company, assuming they agree to make the service call. - Out of warranty product
Bosch is under no obligation, at law or otherwise, to provide you with any concessions, including repairs, prorates, or Product replacement, once this warranty has expired. - Warranty exclusions
The warranty coverage described herein excludes all defects or damage that are not the direct fault of Bosch, including without limitation, one or more of the following:
♦ Use of the Product in anything other than its normal, customary and intended manner (including without limitation, any form of commercial use, use or storage of an indoor product outdoors, use of the Product in conjunction with air or water-going vessels).

♦ A failure to comply with any applicable state, local, city, or county electrical, plumbing and/or building codes, regulations, or laws, including failure to install the product in strict conformity with local fire and building codes and regulations.

♦ Service calls to correct the installation of your Product, to instruct you how to use your Product, to replace house fuses or correct house wiring or plumbing.

Also excluded from this warranty are Products, on which the serial numbers have been altered, defaced, or removed; service visits to teach you how to use the Product, or visits where there is nothing wrong with the Product; correction of installation problems (you are solely responsible for any structure and setting for the Product, including all electrical, plumbing or other connecting facilities, for proper foundation/flooring, and for any alterations including without limitation cabinetry, walls, floors, shelving, etc.); and resetting of breakers or fuses
