3 Environmental protection and energy-saving

3.1 Disposal of packaging

The packaging materials are environmentally compatible and can be recycled.

- Sort the individual components by type and dispose of them separately.

3.2 Saving energy when using the oven

If you follow these tips, your appliance consumes 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-colored, black-coated or enameled baking pans.

√ 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 in parallel.

√ 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.

√ Accessories that are not being used do not need to be heated.

Allow frozen food to defrost before cooking.

√ This will save the energy that would otherwise be required to defrost it.

3.3 Saving energy when using the cooktop

If you follow these tips, your appliance consumes less energy.

Select a cookware diameter that matches the cooking zone. Center the cookware on the cooking zone.

Tip: Cookware manufacturers usually state the top diameter of the cookware. The diameter of the cookware base is usually smaller.

√ The energy is targeted at the cookware. If you use cookware that is too small, energy is wasted. If the cookware is too large, much energy is used to heat up the cookware.

Close cookware with a fitting lid.

√ Cooking without a lid consumes more energy.

Only lift the lid when necessary.

√ If you lift the lid, a lot of energy can escape.

Use a glass lid.

√ If you use a glass lid, you can look inside the cookware without lifting the lid.

Use cookware with a solid flat bottom.

√ Curved cookware bases increase energy consumption.

Use a cookware size that matches the amount of food you want to cook.

√ Cookware with little content consumes a lot of energy.

Cook with a small amount of water.

√ More water requires more energy to heat it up.

Select a lower power level as soon as possible. Select a suitable power level to continue cooking.

√ For ongoing cooking a lower power level is sufficient.

Use the residual heat of the cooking zone. For longer cooking times, turn the cooking zone off 5-10 minutes before the end of the cooking time.

√ If you use the residual heat you can save energy.

Do not place food directly on the oven cavity bottom.

Convection fan

Convection baking uses a fan to circulate the oven's heat evenly and continuously within the oven.

This improved heat distribution allows for even cooking and excellent results using multiple racks at the same time.

Cooling fan

The cooling fan runs during all cooking modes.

The fan can be heard when it is running, and warm air may be felt as it is released from the oven vent. The fan may also run after the oven is off.

Oven vents

Warm air may be released from the oven vents before, during and after cooking. It is normal to see steam escaping from the vents, and condensation may collect in this area. This area may be warm when the oven is in use.

CAUTION

The oven vents are important for air circulation. Covering the oven vents will cause the oven to overheat. Refer to the appliance overview for the location of the oven vents.

→ Page 12
▶ Do not obstruct oven vents.

Cooking zones

7.12 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.
- 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 overbrowning 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.

How to use convection bake mode

Use the convection 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.
■ For cakes use rack positions 2 and 5. Stagger pans so that one is not directly above the other.

How to use convection multi-rack/true convection mode

Use convection multi-rack or true convection 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 convection 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 center of the rack.
- Follow manufacturer's directions for frozen pizza.
■ The convection fan cycles on and off when using pizza mode.

How to use roast mode

Use roast mode for large cuts of meat and poultry.

Note

■ Preheating the oven is not necessary.

■ Use a high-sided broil pan or roasting pan. Cover dish with a lid or foil for less tender cuts of meat.
■ For less tender cuts of meat, add liquids, such as water, juice, wine, bouillon or stock for flavor and moisture.
■ Roasting bags and using a liquid are suitable for use in this mode.
■ When roasting whole chicken or turkey, tuck wings behind back and loosely tie legs with kitchen string.

How to use convection roast mode

Use the convection roast mode for preparing tender cuts of meat and poultry. It is also suitable for roasting vegetables.

The benefits of convection 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 convection broil mode

Use the convection broil mode for cooking thick, tender cuts of meat, poultry and fish. Convection broil is not recommended for browning breads, casseroles and other foods.

In addition to the benefits of standard broiling, convection broiling is faster.

Note

■ Always use convection broil with the oven door closed.
■ Preheat the oven for 3 to 4 minutes. Do not preheat for more than 5 minutes.
■ Steaks and chops should be at least 1½" (4 cm) thick.
■ Use the broil pan and grid or a deep pan with a metal rack, for broiling.
- Do not cover the broil grid with foil. It is designed to drain fats and oils away from the cooking surface to prevent smoking and spattering.
■ Turn meats once during the recommended cook time. Fish does not need to be turned.
■ Never use heat-proof glass, such as Pyrex®; it cannot tolerate the high temperature.

How to use proof mode

Use the proof mode to raise yeast dough.

Note

■ Start with a cool oven when using the proof mode.
■ Allow frozen dough to thaw first.
■ The ideal temperature for proofing will be maintained until the mode is turned off. Dough has proofed when it has doubled in size.
■ Loosely cover the bowl or pan and use any rack that accommodates the size of the container.
- Keep the door closed and use the oven light to check the rising of the dough.

Size Time in min.

Loaf, 1 lb (4.5 kg) 60 - 75

Rolls, 0.1 lb (50 g) 30 - 45

How to use warm mode

Use the warm mode to keep hot, cooked foods at serving temperature.

CAUTION

Food may spoil when kept warm for too long.

• Do not use the warm mode to heat cold food.
  ▶ Be sure to maintain proper food temperature. The USDA recommends holding hot food at 140° F ( 60° C) or warmer.
  ▶ DO NOT warm food longer than one hour.

Note

■ ALWAYS start with hot food. DO NOT use this mode to heat cold food other than for crisping crackers, chips, and dry cereal.
■ Serving dishes, plates, and cups may be kept warm with this mode.
- Foods that must be kept moist should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil.
■ Aluminum foil may be used to cover food. Use only heat-safe dishes.
■ DO NOT open the oven door unnecessarily. Opening the door will reduce the temperature of the oven.
- When keeping cooked food warm, allow time for the oven to preheat before placing the item in the oven.

7.13 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, heat-proof 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.

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 authorized 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-authorized service provider; Bosch will have no responsibility or liability for repairs or work performed by a non-authorized service provider. Authorized 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 authorized 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 labor and parts and ship the parts to the nearest authorized 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.

14.4 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.

14.5 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).
- Any party's willful misconduct, negligence, misuse, abuse, accidents, neglect, improper operation, failure to maintain, improper or negligent installation, tampering, failure to follow operating instructions, mishandling, unauthorized service (including selfperformed "fixing" or exploration of the appliance's internal workings).
■ Adjustment, alteration or modification of any kind.
- 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.
■ Ordinary wear and tear, spills of food, liquid, grease accumulations, or other substances that accumulate on, in, or around the Product.

■ 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.

In no event shall Bosch have any liability or responsibility whatsoever for damage to surrounding property, including cabinetry, floors, ceilings, and other structures or objects

around the Product. 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 TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, THIS WARRANTY SETS OUT YOUR EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO PRODUCT, WHETHER THE CLAIM ARISES IN CONTRACT OR TORT (INCLUDING STRICT LIABILITY, OR NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE. THIS WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. ANY WARRANTY IMPLIED BY LAW, WHETHER FOR MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR OTHERWISE, SHALL BE EFFECTIVE ONLY FOR THE PERIOD THAT THIS EXPRESS LIMITED WARRANTY IS EFFECTIVE. IN NO EVENT WILL THE MANUFACTURER BE LIABLE FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, "BUSINESS LOSS", AND/OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, LOSSES, OR EXPENSES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION TIME AWAY FROM WORK, HOTELS AND/OR RESTAURANT MEALS, REMODELLING EXPENSES IN EXCESS OF DIRECT DAMAGES WHICH ARE DEFINITIVELY CAUSED EXCLUSIVELY BY BOSCH, OR OTHERWISE. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, AND SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSIONS OR LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. THIS WARRANTY GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS WHICH VARY FROM STATE TO STATE. No attempt to alter, modify or amend this warranty shall be effective unless authorized in writing by an officer of BSH.
