Temperature Limiters
Keeping food warm
Keep Warm
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.
A range of heat settings are listed because the actual setting
depends on:
1) type and quality of pan (See “Selecting Cookware”, Page
28).
2) type, quantity and temperature of the food
3) element used
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.
4) the cook’s preference.
208/240VoltConnection:TheHeatSettingsrecommended
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 longer to finish cooking.
• The material or shape of the pan is slow to transfer the
heat.

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

Oven Modes - Bake and Convection Bake
CONVECTION BAKE
BAKE, PROOF (some models) and
WARM
Baking is cooking with dry, heated air. Both the upper and
lower element cycle to maintain the oven temperature:
Convection Baking is similar to Baking. In this case, heat
comes from the lower heating element and a third element
behindthebackwall. Themaindifferenceinconvectionbaking
is that the heat is circulated throughout the oven by the
convection fan:
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.
In the Warming mode, the oven uses the upper and lower
elementtomaintainalowtemperaturetokeepfoodatserving
temperature.
The benefits of Convection Baking include:
•
•
•
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°.
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.

Oven Modes - Broil and Convection Broil
CONVECTION BROIL
BROIL
Broiling uses intense heat radiated from the upper element:
Convection Broil is similar to Broil. It combines the intense
heat from the upper element with heat circulated by the
convection fan:
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:
The Convection Broil mode is well suited for cooking thicker,
tender cuts of meat, poultry and fish. Convection Broil is
typically not recommended for browning breads, casseroles
and other foods.

PROBE USE TIPS
•
INSERTING THE PROBE
Insert the probe tip into the food item.
•
•
•
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. Allow “standing time” (10 - 20 minutes)
before carving the meat.
For meats, insert the probe tip into the thickest part
and 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
•
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.
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. Placeroastingpanwithmeatincoldovenonrecommended

probe symbol will appear in display.
•
•
Note: Always remove probe from oven when cooking is
complete. The probe symbol will remain in the display until
the probe is removed. Do not leave probe attachment in oven
during self-clean. Oven will not self-clean with the probe
installed in the oven.
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 CONVECTION ROAST. The
default oven temperature will appear.
5. Turn knob to change temperature if necessary.

Care and Cleaning - 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.
CAUTION
Exception: Remove Dry Sugar, Sugar Syrup, Tomato
Products and Milk immediately with the razor blade
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
Dial
Remove from cooktop. Wipe with hot, soapy cloth, rinse and
dry. The dial can also be washed in the dishwasher. Do not
soak or wash in dishwasher.
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 - Glass Cooktop
Cooktop Care Chart
TYPE OF SOIL
POSSIBLE SOLUTION
Failure to remove these soils immediately can
permanently damage the surface.
Dry sugar, sugar syrup, milk or tomato spills. 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.
•
•
Remove pan and turn off the element.
Wearing an oven mitt, hold scraper at 30o angle, 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.
Use a plastic scrubber and Cooktop Cleaning Creme or
use the razor blade scraper. Rinse and dry.
Burned-on food soil, dark streaks, and specks
•
•
Use a soapy sponge or cloth to remove grease; rinse
thoroughly and dry. Apply Cooktop Cleaning Creme.
Greasy spatters
Pans with aluminum, copper or stainless steel bases
may leave marks. Treat immediately, after surface has
cooled, with the Cooktop Cleaning Creme. If this does
not remove the metal marks, try a mild abrasive (Bon
Ami®, Soft Scrub® without bleach) with a dampened
paper towel. Rinse and reapply creme.
Metal marks: Iridescent stain
Failure to remove metal marks before the next
heating makes removal very difficult.
•
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.
Hard water spots
Hot cooking liquids dripped on surface
Remove boilovers and stains, before using the
cooktop again.
•
•
Apply Cleaning Creme before using to remove sand-
like grains and grit such as salt and seasoning.
Can be reduced by using pans with bases that are
smooth, 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 bulbs and
lenscoversareinplace. Donotoperateovenwithout
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 350° 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 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 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.

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.
