Bosch HBL7/HBN7 Oven Use and Care Manual  
Cooking with the Bosch Convection Oven  
Cooking with the BOSCH Convection Oven  
In a conventional oven,the heat source cycles on and off to maintain an average temperature in the oven cavity.  
As the temperature gradually rises and falls, gentle air currents are produced within the oven. This natural  
convection tends to be inefficient because the currents are irregular and slow. In the Bosch convection system,  
the heat is “conveyed” by a fan that provides continuous circulation of the hot air.  
The Bosch Genuine European Convection™ system provides state-of-the-art engineering and advanced design  
to create the finest convection oven.In standard convection ovens,a fan simply circulates the hot air around the  
food.The Bosch convection system is characterized by the combination of an additional heating element located  
around the convection fan and the venting panel that distributes heated air in three dimensions:along the sides,  
the top and the full depth of the oven cavity. This Genuine European Convection system aids in maintaining a  
more even oven temperature throughout the oven cavity.  
The circulating air aids in speeding up the baking process and cooks the food more evenly. By controlling the  
movement of heated air, convection cooking produces evenly browned foods that are crispy on the outside yet  
moist inside. Convection cooking works best for breads and pastries as well as meats and poultry.Air-leavened  
foods like angel food cakes,soufflés and cream puffs rise higher than in a conventional oven.Meats stay juicy and  
tender while the outside is flavorful and crisp.  
By using Bosch Genuine European Convection,foods can be cooked at a lower temperature and cooking times  
can be shorter. When using the Convection Bake mode, the standard oven temperature should be lowered by  
25°F. Foods requiring a cooking time of less than 30 minutes should be checked slightly earlier than normal.  
Items that typically cook for 45 minutes or more should take 15-25% less time.For best results,foods should be  
cooked uncovered,in low-sided pans to take advantage of the forced air circulation.When using the Convection  
Roast mode, the standard oven temperature does not need to be reduced.  
Advantages of Convection Cooking  
•
•
•
•
Even baking, browning and crisping are achieved.  
During roasting, juices and flavors are sealed in while the exterior is crisp.  
Yeast breads are lighter, more evenly textured, more golden and crustier.  
Air-leavened foods such as cream puffs, soufflés and meringues are higher and  
lighter.  
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Baking on multiple racks at the same time is possible with even results.  
Multiple-rack baking saves time.  
Prepare whole meals at once with no flavor transfer.  
Dehydrates herbs, fruits and vegetables.  
Requires no specialized bakeware.  
Saves time and energy.  
Convection broiling allows for extraordinary grilling with thicker cuts of food.

Oven Features  
Oven Modes  
The following illustrations give an overview of what  
happens in the oven with each mode setting. The  
arrows represent the location of the heat source during  
specific modes. The lower element is concealed under  
the oven floor.  
CONVECTION ROAST  
Convection Roast uses the top element, bottom  
element and convection fan.  
BAKE and WARMING  
Baking is cooking with heated air. Both the upper and  
lower element cycle to maintain the oven temperature.  
In the Warming mode, the oven will use the lower  
element to maintain a low temperature to keep food  
at serving temperature.  
BROIL  
Broiling uses intense heat radiated from the upper  
element.  
CONVECTION BAKE and DEHYDRATE  
Convection Bake cooks 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 similar to convection cooking and holds  
an optimum low temperature while circulating the  
heated air to remove moisture slowly for food  
preservation.  
CONVECTION BROIL  
Convection Broil combines the intense heat from the  
upper element with the heat circulated by the  
convection fan.

Oven Operations  
General OvenTips  
Preheating the Oven  
Oven Condensation and Temperature  
• Preheat the oven when using the Bake,Convection  
•
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 may condense  
on any surface cooler than the inside of the oven,  
such as the control panel.  
Your new Bosch oven has an electronic  
temperature sensor that accurately maintains the  
temperature selected.Your previous oven may have  
had a mechanical thermostat that drifted gradually  
over time to a higher temperature. It is normal  
that you may need to adjust your favorite recipes  
when cooking in a new oven.  
Bake and Convection Roast modes.  
• Preheating for Convection Roast when using the  
probe is not recommended. See Pages 20 through  
22 for details and tips.  
• Selecting a higher temperature does not shorten  
the preheat time.  
•
• Preheating is necessary for good results when baking  
cakes, cookies, pastry and breads.  
• Preheating will help to sear roasts and seal in meat  
juices.  
• Place oven racks in their proper position before  
preheating.  
• During preheat, the selected cooking temperature  
can be displayed by touching TEMPERATURE.  
• A beep will confirm that the oven is preheated and  
the selected cooking temperature will be displayed.  
• Fast Preheat Bake and Fast Preheat Convection Bake  
can be used when time is crucial.  
Oven Racks  
•
•
•
•
•
The oven has rack guides at four levels as shown  
in the illustration on Page 7.  
Rack positions are numbered from the bottom rack  
guide (#1) to the top (#4).  
Check cooking charts for best rack positions to  
use when cooking.  
Each level guide consists of paired supports formed  
in the walls on each side of the oven cavity.  
Always be sure to position the oven racks before  
turning on the oven. Make sure that the racks are  
level once they are in position.  
Operational Suggestions  
• Use the cooking charts as a guide.  
• Do not set pans on the opened oven door.  
• Use the interior oven light to view the food through  
the oven door window rather than opening the door  
frequently.  
Utensils  
•
•
To remove oven rack from the oven, pull rack  
forward, lift rack up at front and then remove it.  
To replace an oven rack:  
• Glass baking dishes absorb heat. Reduce oven  
temperature 25°F when baking in glass.  
• Use pans that give the desired browning. The type  
of finish on the pan will help determine the amount  
of browning that will occur.  
1. Place rear of rack between rack level guides.  
2. While lifting front of rack, slide rack in all  
the way while lowering the front. Please  
refer to illustration on Page 7 if there is any  
question as to which side is the front of the  
rack.  
• Shiny,smooth metal or light nonstick/anodized pans  
reflect heat, resulting in lighter, more delicate  
browning. Cakes and cookies require this type of  
utensil.  
• Dark, rough or dull pans will absorb heat resulting  
in a browner, crisper crust. Use this type for pies.  
• For brown,crisp crusts,use dark nonstick/anodized  
or dark, dull metal utensils or glass bakeware.  
Insulated baking pans may increase the length of  
cooking time.  
•
•
The racks are designed to stop when pulled  
forward to their limit.  
CAUTION! Never use aluminum foil to cover  
the oven racks or to line the oven. It can cause  
damage to the oven liner if heat is trapped under  
the foil.  
• Do not cook with the empty broiler pan in the oven,  
as this could change cooking performance. Store  
the broil pan outside of the oven.  
120/240 vs. 120/208 Volt Connection  
•
Most oven installations will have a 120/240 voltage  
connection.  
High Altitude Baking  
•
If your oven is installed with 120/208 voltage, the  
preheat time may be slightly longer than with 120/  
240 voltage.  
•
When cooking at high altitude,recipes and cooking  
time will vary from the standard. For accurate  
information,write the Extension Service,Colorado  
State University, Fort Collins, Colorado 80521.  
There may be a charge for the bulletins.  
•
The Self-Clean mode may also require a longer  
clean time, depending on the amount of soil.

BakeTips andTechniques  
Baking is cooking with heated air. Both upper and  
lower elements in the oven are used to heat the air but  
no fan is used to circulate the heat.  
•
Check for doneness at the minimum time.  
•
Use metal bakeware (with or without a nonstick  
finish), heatproof glass, glass-ceramic, pottery or  
other utensils suitable for the oven.  
Follow the recipe or convenience food directions for  
baking temperature, time and rack position. Baking  
time will vary with the temperature of ingredients and  
the size, shape and finish of the baking utensil.  
•
•
•
When using heatproof glass, reduce temperature  
by 25°F from recommended temperature.  
General Guidelines  
Usebakingsheetswithorwithoutsidesorjellyroll  
pans.  
•
For best results, bake food on a single rack with at  
least 1" space between utensils and oven walls.  
Dark metal pans or nonstick coatings will cook  
faster with more browning. Insulated bakeware will  
slightly lengthen the cooking time for most foods.  
•
Use a maximum of two racks when selecting the  
bake mode. Stagger pans or baking sheets so that  
one is not directly above another.  
•
•
For best results,bake food on a single rack with at  
least 1-1/2” space between utensils and oven walls.  
Do not use aluminum foil or disposable aluminum  
trays to line any part of the oven. Foil is an excellent  
heat insulator and heat will be trapped beneath it.  
This will alter the cooking performance and can  
damage the finish of the oven.  
Staggered pans  
•
•
Avoid using the opened door as a shelf to place  
pans.

Convection Bake Tips andTechniques  
•
•
Reduce recipe baking temperatures by 25°F.  
For best results, foods should be cooked  
uncovered,in low-sided pans to take advantage of  
the forced air circulation.Use shiny aluminum pans  
for best results unless otherwise specified  
Pans do not need to be staggered.  
•
Heatproof glass or ceramic can be used. Reduce  
temperature by another 25°F when using  
heatproof glass dishes for a total reduction of 50°F.  
Foods recommended for  
CONVECTION BAKE mode:  
Appetizers  
•
•
•
Dark metal pans may be used.Note that food may  
brown faster when using dark metal bakeware.  
Biscuits  
Coffee Cakes  
Cookies (2 to 4 racks)  
Yeast Breads  
Cream Puffs  
The number of racks used is determined by the  
height of the food to be cooked.  
Popovers  
Baked items, for the most part, cook extremely  
well in convection. Don’t try to convert recipes  
such as custards, quiches, pumpkin pie, or  
cheesecakes, which do not benefit from the  
convection-heating process. Use the regular Bake  
mode for these foods.  
Casseroles and One-Dish Entreés  
Oven Meals (rack positions 1, 2, 3)  
Air Leavened Foods (Soufflés, Meringue,  
Meringue-Topped Desserts, Angel Food  
Cakes, Chiffon Cakes)  
•
Multiple rack cooking for oven meals is done on  
rack positions 1, 2 and 3. All four racks can be  
used for cookies, biscuits and appetizers.  
QUICK AND EASY RECIPE TIPS  
Converting from standard BAKE  
to CONVECTION BAKE:  
•
•
Converting your own recipe can be easy. Choose  
a recipe that will work well in convection.  
•
•
Reduce the temperature by 25°F.  
Reduce the temperature and cooking time if  
necessary. It may take some trial and error to  
achieve a perfect result. Keep track of your  
technique for the next time you want to prepare  
the recipe using convection.  
Use the same baking time as Bake mode if  
under 10 to 15 minutes.  
•
Foods with a baking time of less than 30  
minutes should be checked for doneness  
5 minutes earlier than in standard bake  
recipes.  
•
Tips for Solving Baking Problems are found on Page  
38.  
•
If food is baked for more than 40 to 45  
minutes, bake time should be reduced by  
25%.

•
•
•
Preheat for Convection Roast.  
QUICK AND EASY RECIPE TIPS  
Roast in a low-sided, uncovered pan.  
Converting from standard BAKE  
to CONVECTION ROAST:  
When roasting whole chickens or turkey,tuck  
wings behind back and loosely tie legs with  
kitchen string.  
•
•
Temperature does not have to be lowered.  
Roasts, large cuts of meat and poultry  
generally take 10-20% less cooking time.  
Check doneness early.  
•
•
Use the 3-piece broil pan for roasting  
uncovered.  
•
Casseroles or pot roasts that are baked  
covered in CONVECTION ROAST  
will cook in about the same amount of  
Use the probe or a meat thermometer to  
determine the internal doneness on “END”  
temperature (see cooking chart).  
•
•
Double-check the internal temperature of  
meat/poultry by inserting meat thermometer  
into another position.  
•
•
The minimum safe temperture for stuffing in  
poultry is 165ºF (74ºC).  
When roasting a large roast or turkey,roasting  
pan may need to be rotated during roasting  
time.This will allow for more even cooking.  
Large birds may also need to be covered with  
foil (and pan roasted) during a portion of the  
roasting time to prevent over-browning.  
After removing the item from the oven, cover  
loosely with foil for 10 to 15 minutes before  
carving.  
•
While covered,roast temperatures increase by 5°  
to 10°F.  
Convection Roasting with the Probe  
•
•
•
The meat probe can be used to determine the internal doneness or the “END” temperature (see cooking  
chart, Page 23).  
The temperature range for the probe is 130°F to 210°F (55°C to 100°C).The probe automatic default  
temperature is programmed at 170°F (77°C) but can be set for your recipe.  
Preheating the oven for Convection Roast is not recommended when using the probe. A hot oven will  
impair your ability to easily connect the probe to the receptacle and into the meat.  
TO USE THE PROBE  
1. Prepare meat and place in roasting pan (or on rack in roasting pan as recipe specifies).Insert the probe into  
the thickest center portion of the meat.  
2. Make sure the probe is not touching 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.  
4. Touch COOKING MODE and select Convection Roast. CONVECTION ROAST will flash and the  
default temperature will appear.

•
•
•
•
•
•
Place rack in the required position needed before turning on the oven.  
Start broiling with a cool oven and broiler pan.There is no need to preheat oven for broiling.  
Broil with the oven door positioned at the Broil door stop (open door broiling).  
Use the three-piece broil pan for Broil.  
Brush fish and lean cuts of meat with vegetable oil before broiling to prevent sticking.  
Start broiling poultry with skin side down.  
Turn food after one half of total cooking time. Thicker cuts of meat or poultry can be turned more often.  
Slotted top racks on broiler pan let fat drip away, reducing spattering and smoking.  
When top-browning casseroles, use only metal or glass-ceramic (Pyroceram™) such as Corningware®  
bakeware.  
•
•
Never use heat-proof glass (Pyrexware®) pottery; they cannot tolerate the high temperatures.

Care and Cleaning  
Bosch HBL7/HBN7 Oven Use and Care Manual  
Oven Care and Cleaning  
SELF-CLEANING THE OVEN  
Bosch ovens feature a pyrolytic self-cleaning function that eliminates the difficult and time consuming manual  
scrubbing of the oven interior. During self-cleaning, the oven uses a very high temperature (approx. 885°F) to  
burn away food soil and grease.  
•
•
Only one oven at a time can be set to Self-Clean.  
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.  
•
The door latch is automatically activated after selecting the Self-Clean cycle. The door lock symbol will  
appear in the display. This ensures that the door cannot be opened while the oven interior is at clean  
temperatures.  
•
•
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.  
•
•
•
Three hours is the preset length of cleaning.  
The mode automatically stops at the end of the clean hours.  
When the oven heat drops to a safe temperature, 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 change to a dull dark finish. See Oven Cleaning Chart for proper care, Pages 33 to 34.  
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.They do  
not get hot enough during the cleaning cycle for soil to burn away. 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 rub the gasket on oven. Hand-clean the oven door  
window. Rinse all areas thoroughly then dry.  
5. Be sure oven interior lights are turned off and the light bulbs and lens covers are in place. See Pages 13 and 37.
