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 appliance 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.

3.3 Saving energy when using the cooktop

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

Select cookware with a base 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.

√ Unused residual heat increases energy consumption.

7.11 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

■ Refer to the section on rack level recommendation for best results.
→ "Rack positions", Page 16
■ 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.
■ For cakes stagger pans so that one is not directly above the other.

How to use conv bake mode

Use the conv bake mode to prepare meat, pastry and vegetables on a single rack or on multiple racks simultaneously.

This system combines heaters with a fan, which makes it faster than conventional system.

Note

■ Recommended baking levels:
- For single-level baking of flat food (pastry) 4
- For single-level baking of larger cuts (meat): 2 or 3; for multi-level baking: 2 and 5
- 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 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.
■ 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.

How to use conv roast mode

Use the conv roast mode for roasting poultry and whole cuts of meat on a single rack.

This is a combination heating mode. Hot air is circulated evenly around the food, and the heaters uniformly radiate heat and contribute to a crunchy crust and juicy core. This heating mode combines heaters with a fan, which makes it faster than conventional heating modes.

Note

■ Refer to the section on rack level recommendation for best results.
→ "Rack positions", Page 16
■ Preheating the oven is not necessary.
■ Use the same temperature as indicated in the recipe.
- Check doneness early, since roasting time may decrease.
■ 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.
- When cooking large meats (e.g. turkey over 10 lbs) do not use the lowest rack position.

How to use broil mode

The broil mode is intended for baking flat food, such as toasted bread, open sandwiches, burgers, grill sausages, steaks, fish, etc., or for au gratin.

Note

■ Use broil HI to grill large amounts of flat-shaped food like toast, open sandwiches, grill sausages, fish, skewers, etc., cook au grating and brown the crust.
■ Use broil LO to grill chicken and seafood.
■ Always broil with the oven door closed.
■ Preheat the oven for 3 to 4 minutes. Do not preheat for more than 5 minutes.
■ 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 air fry

This mode results in a crunchy crust without added fat. This is a healthy version of fast-food frying, with fewer calories in the cooked food. Suitable for smaller cuts of meat, fish, vegetables, and frozen products ready for frying, such as French fries or chicken nuggets.

This is a combination mode. The hot air circulates evenly around the food. The heat from the top heater contributes to a crunchy crust.

• Allow the oven to preheat fully before placing the food in the oven.
  ■ Use rack position 4 for best results.
  ■ Use a dark aluminum baking tray with a wire insert to elevate the food.
  ■ Distribute the food evenly across the entire area of the baking dish or sheet and do not cover it.
  ■ Follow package instructions for time and temperature.
  ■ Some foods may produce smoke and vapor.

How to use frozen foods/quick meal

This mode allows baking frozen food on a single rack in a shorter period of time without preheating.

■ Use for pre-baked frozen products, such as frozen meals, bakery products, croissants, French fries, or chicken nuggets.
■ Follow package instructions for time and temperature.

How to use proof mode

Use the proof mode to raise yeast dough.

Note

■ Start with a cool oven when using this 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 keep warm mode

Use the keep 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.

7.12 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^ .

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. Remove unused oven racks to shorten the preheat time.
■ Preheating is not necessary for conv roast.

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.

■ Select the highest power level for bringing water to a boil or heating up the pan.
■ Stir thick liquids occasionally.
- Food that needs to be seared quickly, or food which loses a lot of liquid during initial frying, is best seared in several small portions.
■ When you cook with a lid on, turn the heat setting down as soon as steam escapes between lid and cookware.
- Keep the lid on the cookware after cooking until you serve the food.
- When you cook with a pressure cooker, observe the manufacturer's instructions.
- Do not cook food for too long or in too much water. Otherwise the nutrients will be lost. You can use the kitchen timer to set the optimum cooking time.
- Do not heat oil or grease until it smokes. You will achieve healthier cooking results.
- When you brown food, fry small portions one after the other.

■ Cookware may become very hot during cooking. We recommend the use of pot holders.

Nevertheless, taking your product to be serviced by a repair shop that is not affiliated with or an authorized dealer of Bosch will not void this warranty. Also, using third-party parts will not void this warranty. 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. Further, to the extent you have installed the Product in a difficult-to-access location or have otherwise installed temporary or permanent fixtures that create barriers to accessing or removing the Product, Bosch will not incur any liability for, or have responsibility, for work or costs associated with

moving the Product or otherwise creating access to the Product in order to repair or replace it. All such costs shall be your sole responsibility.

13.4 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.

■ Damage or defects caused by labor or parts installed by any non-authorized service provider, unless approved by Bosch before service is performed.

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.
