IMFK}RTANT 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 elimination of soil during self-cleaning
generates some by-products which are on the
list.
The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens
gives off very small amounts of formaldehyde
during the first several cleaning cycles.
Exposure to these substances can be
minimized by:
L 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.

Before Using the ¢ooktop
Remove all packing materials and labels from the cooktop
surface.
While cool, wipe with a clean, damp sponge and dry.
Apply the Cooktop Cleaning Creme packaged with the
range. Buff with a clean cloth. See Care and Cleaning
Section.
There may be a slight odor during the first several uses;
this is normal and will disappear.
Optimum cooking results depend on the proper cookware
being selected and used.
The cooking surface will hold the heat and remain hot up
to 30 minutes after the elements have been turned off.
Read and understand all safety precautions and Use and
Care Manual information pdor to operating.
Precautions for Long Life and Good
Appearance of the Surface
Regular, daily care using the Cooktop Cleaning Creme will
protect the surface and make it easier to remove food soil
and water spots.
The ceramic glass cooking surface is a durable material
resistant to impact but not unbreakable if a pan or other
object is dropped on it.
Never cook food directly on the glass.
Avoid placing a wok support ring, trivet or other metal
stand on the glass surface.
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 usuah
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.
Radiant Elements
Bosch UltraSpeed TM 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 LimRersat left.) There are 9heat 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.

Oven Racks
Your oven has three fiat racks. They are designed with a stop
so they will stop before coming completely out and not tilt.
_'_, CAUT][ON: TO AVOID POSSIBLE BURNS, PLACE
OVEN RACKS IN DESIRED POSITIONS BEFORE
TURNING THE OVEN ON. ALWAYS USE OVEN HITTS
WHEN THE OVEN IS WARH,
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 rackto a horizontal
position and push the rest of the way in. Rack should be
straight and flat, not crooked.
Rack Position
(see graphic at right for further details)
RACK 6 (highest position) - Use for melting cheese, broiling
thin foods
RACK S - 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.
Multipme Rack Cooking
When using multiple racks, follow the placement
recommendations below.
Two rack: Use rack positions ! and 5.
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.
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 temperatu re will be displayed.
Pan Pmacement
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
:["to ! 1/2"of air space around the pan. When baking four cake
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
manufacturer recommendations. Use glass OFdark metal pans
for pies.
Insulated baking pans may increase the length of the
recommended baking time.

BAKE and WARH
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, 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 hot
until ready to serve.
o The Warming mode temperatures are !40 ° - 220° R The
default temperature is !70°R
o Foods that need to be kept moist should be cpvered with
a lid or aluminum foil.
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:
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:
o Slight decrease in cooking time
o Better results for three rack cooking (more even browning)
o 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 (!" or less), poultry and fish. It can also be used to
brown breads, casseroles and other foods.
The benefits of Broiling include:
Fast and efficient cooking
o Cooking without the addition of fats or liquids
o Browning as the food cooks
For Best Results:
, Preheat oven 3-4 minutes
o Steaks and Chops should be at least 3/4"thick
o 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. Tt iS designed to
drain fats and oils away from the cooking surface to
prevent smoking and spattering
o 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 Comingware®.
Never use heat-proof glass (Pyrex®); they cannot tolerate
the high temperature.

CONVECTION ROAST
Convection Roast uses heat from the top and bottom
elements as well as heat circulated by the convection fan:
The Convection Roast mode is well suited to preparing tender
cuts of meat and poultry.
The benefits of Convection Roasting, include:
o As much as 25% faster cooking than standard Roasting/
Baking
, Rich, golden browning
For Best Results:
Use the same temperature as indicated in the recipe.
Check doneness early as roasting time may decrease by
as much as 25%. Refer to Convection Roast Chart for
examples.
o Do not cover meat or use cooking bags
, Use the broil pan and grid provided with the range for
roasting. A low-sided, uncovered pan can also be used.
, Use the probe (some models) or a meat thermometer to
determine the internal temperature of the meat.
If the meat is browned to your liking, but is not yet done,
a small strip of foil can be placed over the breast to
prevent overbrowning.
, Let meat stand covered with foil !0-!5 minutes after
removing from the oven.
