Operating the Oven

General Oven Tips

Suggestions for Use

• Use the cooking charts as a guide.
• Do not set pans on an open oven door. Use the interior oven light to view the food through the oven door window rather than opening the door frequently.
• Place pans in the center of oven.

Advantages of Convection Cooking

• Even baking.
• Juices and flavors are sealed in.
• Leavened foods such as cream puffs, souffles, meringues and yeast breads are higher and lighter. Multiple rack cooking with no flavor transfer.
• No special bakeware is required. Broiling thicker cuts of meat is possible with convection broil.
• Saves time and energy.

About Convection Cooking

Standard cooking modes (bake, broil, etc.) use heat radiated from one or more elements to cook food. Convection modes use both heat from the elements and a fan in the back of the oven to continuously circulate the heated air throughout the oven. The result is faster, more even cooking. Convection modes seal in natural moisture and flavors and can also save time and energy since most foods can be cooked at lower temperatures and in less time (never reduce the temperature when cooking meat). Cook time is also reduced because multiple racks can be used at one time. Cook several sheets of cookies or several different dishes at the same time. The oven also uses convection to dehydrate. The low heat from the elements is circulated through the oven by the convection fan to slowly remove moisture. Refer to “Oven Modes” in this manual for further information on each convection mode.

Preheating the Oven

• Preheat the oven when using the bake and convection bake modes unless the recipe recommends otherwise.
• Use fast preheat mode to shorten preheat time.
• Selecting a higher temperature does not shorten the preheat time.
• Preheating is necessary” for good results when baking cakes, cookies, pastries and bread.
• Place oven racks in their proper position before preheating.
• During preheating, the selected cooking temperature is displayed.
• A beep will confirm that the oven is preheated and the preheat light will turn off. When operating on 208 V, preheat time may” be slightly” Iongen

Bakeware

• Glass baking dishes absorb heat. Reduce oven temperature to 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.
• Shiny, smooth metal or light nonstick/anodized pans reflect heat, resulting in lighter, more delicate browning. Cakes and cookies require this type of bakeware.
• 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.
• 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.
• Use baking sheets that are 19″x 14″ or smaller for best results.

Oven Operation Overview:

The operation of the oven is through knobs and command buttons on the control panel. Single oven models have one mode knob. Double oven models have two mode knobs (one for each oven). Single oven models have one temperature knob. Double oven models have two temperature knobs The command buttons allow you to set the clock, the timer, the cook time (for timed and delayed cooking), the stop time (for delayed cooking) the oven lights and the child safety lock. See the Control Panel/Display and Oven Operation sections for further details.

Oven Racks

• The oven has rack guides at four levels as shown in the illustration
• Rack positions are numbered from the bottom rack guide (#i) to the top (#4).
• Check cooking charts for best rack positions to use when cooking.
• Make sure that the racks are level once they are in position.
• 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. Heat trapped under the foil can cause damage to the oven liner.

CAUTION : To avoid possible burns, place oven racks in desired positions before turning the oven on. Always use oven mitts when the oven is warm.
Removing from the 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 the oven : Grasp rack firmly on both sides. Tilt rack up to allow stop into rack holder. Bring rack to a horizontal position and press the rest of the

Selecting the Rack Position

See the graphic at right.

• Rack 4  Highest position. Use for melting cheese quickly.
• Rack 3  Use for broiling most meats and for toasting bread.
• Rack 2   Use for pies, casseroles, bread, bundt or pound cakes, small roasts or poultry. Also use for broiling thicker cuts of meat.
• Rack 1   Lowest Position. Use for angel food cake, large roasts and turkey

Using Multiple Racks

• 2 Rack baking: Use positions! and 3.
• 3 rack baking: Use positions 2, 3 and 4.
• When baking four cake layers at the same time, stagger pans so that one pan is not directly above the other. For best results, place cakes on front of upper rack and back of the lower rack (See graphic at right). Allow 1″ – 1/2″ air space around pans.

Condensation

The oven vent is located above the oven door. It is normal to see steam escaping from the vent and condensation may collect on areas above the vent such as the display.

Temperature Sensor

Your new oven has an electronic temperature sensor that accurately maintains the temperature selected. Your previous oven may have had a mechanical thermostat that drifted gradually to a higher temperature. As a result, you may need to adjust your favorite recipes when cooking in your new oven.

High Altitude Baking

When cooking at high altitudes, 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.

Oven Modes

Bake

Baking is cooking with dry, heated air. Both the upper and lower elements 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,
For Best Results:

• When baking on two or more racks, use convection bake instea
• The convection bake temperature is 25° F less than recommended on packages or recipes. The tern perature in this chart has been reduced 25° F.
• This chart is a guide. Actual times depend on the mixes or recipes baked. Follow recipe or package directions and reduce temperature appropriately.
• When convection baking on two racks, use posi tions one and three. When using three racks, use positions two, three and four.

Convection Bake

Convection baking is similar to baking. In this case, heat comes from a third element behind the backwall. 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, pastries, breads, snack foods and appetizers among other items. DO NOT use convection bake for meats. Use convection roast instead

The benefits of convection baking include a slight decrease in cooking time

• Three-rack cooking
• Higher volume (yeast items rise higher)
• More items cooked 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.
• Do not use convection bake for custards, quiches, pumpkin pie, or cheesecakes. These items do not benefit from the convection-heating process. Use standard bake instead.

Table 2: Convection Bake Chart.

Broil

Broiling uses intense heat radiated from the upper element:

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:

• Fast and efficient cooking.
• Cooking without the addition of fats or liquids.
• Browning as the food cooks.

For Best Results:

• Do not preheat the oven.
• Steaks and chops should be at least Bi4″ thick.
• Brush fish and poultry with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
• Use the broil pan and grid included with your oven.
• Do not cover the broiler grid with foil. It is designed to drain fats and oils away from the cooking surface to prevent smoking and spattering.
• 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 Corningware®.
• Never use heat-proof glass (Pyrex®); it cannot tolerate the high temperature. ALWAYS BROIL WITH THE DOOR CLOSED

Convection Broil

Convection broil is similar to broil. It combines the intense heat from the upper element with heat circulated by the convection fan:

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.
The benefits of Convection Broiling, in addition to the benefits of standard broiling, include:

• Faster cooking than standard Broiling.

For Best Results:

• Do not preheat oven.
• Meats should be at least 1 1/2″thick.
• Turn meats once halfway through the cooking time (See Convection Broil Chart for examples).
• Use the broil pan and grid included with your oven.
• Do not cover the broiler grid with foil. It is designed to drain fats and oils away from the cooking surface to prevent smoking and spattering.
• Salt after cooking.

ALWAYS CONVECTION BROIL WITH THE DOOR CLOSED

• Broiling and convection broiling times are approximate and may vary slightly,

Convection Roast

Convection roast uses heat from the top and bottom elements as well as heat circulated by the convection fan: Figure 12: Convection Roast The convection roast mode is well suited to preparing tender cuts of meat and poultry.

The benefits of convection roasting, include:

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 the convection roast chart for examples.
• Do not cover meat or use cooking bags.
• Use the broil pan and grid provided with the oven for roasting. A low-sided, uncovered pan can also be used.
• 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, a small strip of foil can be placed over the meat to prevent overbrowning.
• Let meat stand covered with foil 10 5 minutes after removing from the oven.

Quick and Easy Cooking Tipso Converting from standard bake to convection roast

• DO NOT change the recipe temperature.
• Use roasting times in the chart at right.

• Roasting times are approximate and may vary depending on the shape of the meat, They are based on thawed meats,
• Stuffed turkey requires additional roasting time, The minimum safe temperature for stuffing in poultry is 165 ° F

Dehydrate

Dehydrate dries foods 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 used to dry and!or preserve foods such as fruits, vegetables and herbs, This mode holds an optimum low temperature (120 ° F – 160° F) while ciP culating the heated air to slowly remove moisture,

For Best Results:

• Dry herbs at 120° F. Dry most fruits and vegetables at 140° F. (Refer to the dehydrate chart for examples).
• Drying times vary depending on the moisture and sugar content of the food, the size of the pieces, the amount being dried and the humidity in the air. Check food at the minimum drying time,
• Multiple racks can be used simultaneously,
• Contact your Bosch dealer for drying racks,
• Treat fruits with antioxidants to avoid discoloration,
• Consult a food preservation book, county
• Cooperative Extension Office or library for additional information,

Care and Maintenance

Self-Cleaning

During self-clean, the oven uses a very high temperature to burn away food soil, and grease,

• As a safety feature, the oven door locks during self-clean to protect from very high temperatures,
• Do not try to open the oven during self=clean mode,
• Only one oven can be self-cleaned at a time. The second oven can be used while the other is self-cleaning.
• It is common to see smoke and/or an occasional flame up during the self-clean mode, 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 oven light does not operate when the oven is in the self-dean mode.
• Do not use commercial oven cleaners as they” may” damage the finish or parts.
• Heat and odors are normal during the self-clean cycle. Keep the kitchen well-ventilated.

NOTE: Due to the high temperatures used for self-learning, fine lines or surface roughness may develop in oven cavity. This is a common condition and does not affect either the cooking or the cleaning performance of the oven.

Before You Self-Clean

1. Hand clean the oven door edge, window, oven front frame and oven cavity edges (see figures below). They do not get hot enough during the cleaning cycle for soil to burn away. Use a soapy sponge, plastic scrubber or S.O.S._ pad. DO NOT RUB THE GASKET.
2. Wipe up large overspills and grease with paper towels.
3. Remove broiler pan, all utensils and bakeware.
4. Remove oven racks. If the oven racks are left in the oven during a self-cleaning cycle, they will lose their shiny finish and will not glide smoothly in the rack guides. See “Cleaning Oven Surfaces, page 15 for proper care.
5. Be sure the light is turned off on the control panel and the bulb and glass cover are in place.

After Self°Clean

The self-clean mode may produce ash which will settle in the oven. If this happens, remove ash with a damp cloth before using the oven. Wipe rack edges with cooking oil to allow for proper glide. Wipe off excess.
