Preventing material damage

2 Preventing material damage Preventingmaterialdamage
2.1General
ATTENTION! Alcoholic vapours may catch fire in the hot cooking compartment and cause permanent damage to the appliance. The appliance door may spring open due to an explosion and it may fall off. The door panels may shatter and fragment. Due to the resulting negative pressure, the cooking compartment may become considerably deformed inwards. Do not heat spirits ( 15% vol.) when undiluted (e.g.
for marinating or pouring over food). If there is water on the cooking compartment floor when operating the appliance at temperatures above 120 °C, this will damage the enamel. Do not use the appliance if there is water on the
cooking compartment floor. Wipe away any water on the cooking compartment
floor before operation. Objects on the cooking compartment floor at over 50 °C will cause heat to build up. The baking and roasting times will no longer be correct and the enamel will be damaged. Do not place any accessories, greaseproof paper or
foil of any kind on the cooking compartment floor. Only place cookware on the cooking compartment
floor if a temperature under 50 °C has been set. Using silicone moulds or any film, covers or accessories that contain silicone could damage the baking sensor. Damage may occur even if the baking sensor is not active. Do not use silicone moulds or any film, covers or
accessories that contain silicone. Never place objects made of silicone in the cooking
compartment. When the cooking compartment is hot, any water inside it will create steam. The change in temperature may cause damage. Never pour water into the cooking compartment
when it is still hot. Never place cookware containing water on the
cooking compartment floor. The prolonged presence of moisture in the cooking compartment leads to corrosion. Allow the cooking compartment to dry after use. To
do this, open the cooking compartment door completely or use the drying function. Do not keep moist food in the cooking compartment for a long time with the door closed. Do not store food in the cooking compartment. Take care not to trap anything in the appliance door. Fruit juice dripping from the baking tray leaves stains that cannot be removed. When baking very juicy fruit flans, do not pack too much on the baking tray. If possible, use the deeper universal pan.

Using oven cleaner in a hot cooking compartment damages the enamel. Never use oven cleaner in the cooking compartment
when it is still warm. Remove all food remnants from the cooking com-
partment and the appliance door before you next heat up the appliance. If the seal is very dirty, the appliance door will no longer close properly during operation. This may damage the front of adjacent kitchen units. Keep the seal clean at all times. Never operate the appliance if the seal is damaged or missing. Sitting or placing objects on the appliance door may damage it. Do not place, hang or support objects on the appliance door. Do not place cookware or accessories on the appliance door. With certain models, accessories may scratch the door pane when closing the appliance door. Always push accessories fully into the cooking compartment. If aluminium foil comes into contact with the door pane, it could cause permanent discolouration. Do not allow aluminium foil in the cooking compartment to come into contact with the door pane.
2.2Steam
Follow these instructions when using the steam function. ATTENTION! Using cookware with rust spots may cause corrosion in the cooking compartment. Even the smallest spots of rust can cause corrosion. Do not use cookware with rust spots. Dripping liquids make the cooking compartment floor dirty. When steaming with a perforated cooking container,
always place the baking tray, the universal pan or the unperforated cooking container underneath. This will catch any liquid that drips down. Hot water in the water tank may damage the steam system. Only fill the water tank with cold water. If there is water on the cooking compartment floor when operating the appliance at temperatures above 120 °C, this will damage the enamel. Do not use the appliance if there is water on the cooking compartment floor. Wipe away any water on the cooking compartment floor before operation. A lot of steam is produced during operation with the types of steam heating. Condensate that collects in the drip trough underneath the cooking compartment may overflow and damage adjacent units. Do not open the appliance door, or open it as infrequently as possible, while the appliance is in operation. If descaling solution comes into contact with the control panel or other delicate surfaces, it will damage them. Remove descaling solution immediately with water.

enEnvironmental protection and saving energy

Cleaning the water tank in the dishwasher will damage it. Do not clean the water tank in the dishwasher. Clean the water tank with a soft cloth and standard
washing-up liquid.

If several steam operations are carried out one after the other without wiping out the cooking compartment floor and the condensate tray afterwards in each case, the water collected may overflow and may damage furniture panels or bases. Wipe down the cooking compartment floor and the
condensate tray after every steam operation.

Environmental protection and saving energy

3.1Disposing of packaging
The packaging materials are environmentally compatible and can be recycled. Sort the individual components by type and dispose
of them separately.
3.2Saving energy
If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use less power. Only preheat the appliance if the recipe or the recommended settings tell you to do so. “How it works”, Page 40 ¡ Not preheating the appliance can reduce the en-
ergy used by up to 20%. Use dark-coloured, black-coated or enamelled baking tins. ¡ These types of baking tin absorb the heat particu-
larly well. Open the appliance door as little as possible during operation. ¡ This maintains the temperature in the cooking com-
partment and eliminates the need for the appliance to reheat. When baking multiple dishes, do so in succession or in parallel. ¡ The cooking compartment is heated after baking the first dish. This reduces the baking time for the second cake. 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 cooking compartment. ¡ Accessories that are not being used do not need to be heated. Allow frozen food to defrost before cooking. ¡ This saves the energy that would otherwise be required to defrost it. Switch off the display in the basic settings. “Basic settings”, Page 25 ¡ Energy is saved when the display is switched off. Note: The appliance requires: ¡ A maximum of 2 W in networked standby mode ¡ A maximum of 0.5 W in non-networked standby mode with the display switched off

What it’s used for and how it works
Bake or roast on one or more levels. The fan distributes the heat from the ring-shaped heating element in the back wall evenly around the cooking compartment. Traditionally bake or roast on one level. This type of heating is especially good for cakes with moist toppings. The heat is emitted evenly from above and below. Cook selected dishes gently on one level without preheating. The fan distributes the heat from the ring-shaped heating element in the back wall evenly around the cooking compartment. The food is cooked in phases using residual heat. Always keep the appliance door closed when cooking. The food is cooked in phases using residual heat. Always keep the appliance door closed when cooking. If you open the appliance door even briefly, the appliance will continue to heat without utilising any residual heat. This type of heating is used to determine the energy consumption in air recirculation mode and the energy efficiency class. Cook until crispy, on one level with little fat. Especially suitable for food that is usually fried in oil, e.g. chips. The fan circulates heat from the grill element around the food at high speed. The exhaust air is extracted more intensively from of the cooking compartment. Gently cook selected dishes. Heat is emitted from above and below. The food is cooked in phases using residual heat. Always keep the appliance door closed when cooking. The food is cooked in phases using residual heat. Always keep the appliance door closed when cooking.

Gently defrost frozen food. Gently reheat plated meals and baked items. The steam ensures that the food does not dry out. Gently steam vegetables, meat, fish and cereal. Juice fruit. Blanch food. In order to reduce the cooking time, more robust food can be steamed at above 100 °C. Leave the yeast dough to prove. The dough rises considerably more quickly than at room temperature. The surface of the dough does not dry out.

5.2Temperature
With most types of heating , you can read the current temperature in the cooking compartment from approx. 30 °C and the set temperature side-by-side on the display during heating, e.g. 120|210 °C. When you are preheating the appliance, the optimal time to place the food in the cooking compartment is as soon as the displayed temperature in the cooking compartment and the set temperature are the same.

Note: Due to thermal inertia, the temperature that is displayed may differ slightly from the actual temperature inside the cooking compartment. Residual heat indicator When the appliance is switched off, a red line around the control ring indicates the residual heat in the cooking compartment. The further the temperature drops, the darker the ring. The ring goes out completely at approx. 60 °C.

7.1Determining the water hardness before switching on the appliance for the first time

Before using the appliance for the first time, ask your water supplier about the hardness of your tap water. To ensure that the appliance can reliably remind you to descale it when required, you must set your water hardness range correctly. ATTENTION! If the wrong water hardness has been set, the appliance cannot remind you to descale it at the right time. Set the water hardness correctly. Using unsuitable liquids may damage the appliance. Do not use distilled water or other liquids. Only use cold, fresh tap water, softened water or
non-carbonated mineral water.

Malfunctions may occur when using filtered or demineralised water. The appliance may request that you top up the water tank even though it may be full, or operation with steam is cancelled after approx. two minutes. If required, mix filtered or demineralised water with
the bottled non-carbonated mineral water with a ratio of one to one. Notes ¡ If you are using mineral water, set the water hardness range to “very hard”. If you are using mineral water, you must only use non-carbonated mineral water. ¡ If your tap water is very hard, we recommend that you use softened water. If you are using only softened water, set the “softened” water hardness range.

11.2Setting options with steam
There are various ways in which you can prepare your food with steam. Types of steam heating A variety of types of steam heating are available for which hot steam is used to gently prepare food. ATTENTION! A lot of steam is produced during operation with the types of steam heating. Condensate that collects in the drip trough underneath the cooking compartment may overflow and damage adjacent units. Do not open the appliance door, or open it as infre-
quently as possible, while the appliance is in operation. Steaming During steaming , the food is enveloped by hot steam, which helps to retain the nutrients. This cooking method also helps to retain the shape, colour and typical flavour of the food. When temperatures between 105 °C and 120 °C are set, the cooking time is reduced. This means that even more nutrients and vitamins are retained when steaming. Reheating The reheating function can be used to warm up food that has already been cooked, or bread and pastries from the day before, without affecting their quality. Proving dough Dough proves considerably more quickly using the dough proving steam heating type than at room temperature and does not dry out. Defrost Use the defrost function to defrost deep-frozen and frozen products gently without affecting the quality. Added steam When you cook with added steam, the appliance introduces steam into the cooking compartment at various intervals. This gives your food a crispy crust and a shiny surface. Meat stays juicy and tender, and only undergoes a minimum reduction in volume. You can combine added steam with the following functions: ¡ Types of heating Page 14 ­ 4D hot air ­ Top/bottom heating ­ Circulated air grilling ­ Keeping warm ¡ “Dishes”, Page 22 ¡ “Meat probe”, Page 20
Steam jet You can use the steam jet function to specifically add intensive steam at various intervals. This makes bread and bread rolls in particular wonderfully crispy and gives them a golden colour.

The appliance adds clouds of steam to the cooking compartment for approx. 3 to 5 minutes. Depending on the operation, you can activate the steam jet several times. You can add the steam jet for the following functions: ¡ Types of heating Page 14

food residues and remnants from the cooking compartment, heating elements and accessories. Requirement: Read the information on cleaning products. “Cleaning products”, Page 28 1. Clean the appliance using hot soapy water and a dish cloth. For some surfaces, you can use alternative
cleaning agents. “Suitable cleaning agents”, Page 28 2. Dry with a soft cloth. Regenerating self-cleaning surfaces in the cooking compartment The back panel in the cooking compartment is selfcleaning. The self-cleaning surfaces are coated with a porous, matt ceramic layer and have a rough surface. When the appliance is in operation, the self-cleaning surfaces absorb splashes from baking, roasting or grilling, and break them down. If the self-cleaning surfaces no longer clean themselves adequately during operation, heat up the cooking compartment specifically to the right temperature. ATTENTION! If you do not clean the self-cleaning surfaces regularly, they may become damaged. If dark stains are visible on the self-cleaning surfaces, heat up the cooking compartment. Do not use oven cleaner or abrasive cleaning aids. If oven cleaner accidentally comes into contact with the self-cleaning surfaces, dab it off immediately using water and a sponge cloth. Do not rub.

ing compartment and allow it to dry completely. 1. Allow the appliance to cool down. 2. Wipe out the remaining water in the cooking com-
partment using an absorbent sponge cloth.
20 Descaling Descaling
Regular descaling is necessary to ensure that your appliance continues to operate correctly. How frequently you need to run the descaling programme depends on the water hardness and how many times you have used the steam- assisted operations. The appliance indicates when only another 5 or fewer steam-assisted operations are possible. If you do not carry out descaling, you can no longer set any operation with steam. Descaling comprises several steps and takes approximately 70 – 95 minutes: ¡ Descaling (approx. 55 – 70 minutes) ¡ First rinse cycle (approx. 8 – 12 minutes) ¡ Second rinse cycle (approx. 8 – 12 minutes) For reasons of hygiene, the descaling programme must be run in full. If descaling is interrupted, you can no longer set any operation. To ensure that the appliance is ready for operation again, carry out 2 rinse cycles.
20.1Preparing descaling
ATTENTION! The length of time for which the descaler is left to work is based on the recommended, liquid descaler. Other descalers may damage the appliance. Only use the liquid descaler recommended by us
for the descaling programme. If descaling solution comes into contact with the control panel or other delicate surfaces, it will damage them. Remove descaling solution immediately with water. 1. Mix the descaling solution:

29 How it works Howitworks
Here, you can find the ideal settings for various types of food as well as the best accessories and cookware. We have perfectly tailored these recommendations to your appliance. Tip: A lot of other information about the preparation, corresponding adjustment values and recipes can be found in the Home Connect app or on our website www.bosch-home.com.

29.1General cooking tips
Take note of the following information when cooking all types of food. ¡ The temperature and cooking time depend on the
amount of food and the recipe. Settings ranges are specified for this reason. Try using the lower values to start with.

1 Only applies to Great Britain 40

¡ The setting values apply to food placed in the cooking compartment while the cooking compartment is still cold. If you want to preheat anyway, do not place accessories into the cooking compartment until it has finished preheating.
¡ Remove any accessories that are not being used from the cooking compartment.
You can buy suitable accessories from customer service, from specialist retailers or online. “Other accessories”, Page 12

29.2Baking tips
¡ Dark-coloured metal baking tins are most suitable for baking cakes, bread and other baked goods.
¡ Use wide, shallow cookware for bakes and gratins. Food takes longer to cook in deep, narrow cookware and it browns more on top.
¡ Silicone moulds are not suitable. ¡ If you are cooking bakes directly in the universal
pan, place the universal pan into the cooking compartment at level 1. ¡ The setting values for bread dough apply to both dough placed on a baking tray and dough placed in a loaf tin. ATTENTION! When the cooking compartment is hot, any water inside it will create steam. The change in temperature may cause damage. Never pour water into the cooking compartment when it is still hot. Never place cookware containing water on the cooking compartment floor.
Shelf positions You will obtain the best results if you use the following shelf positions. If you are baking on one level, use shelf position 1.

Baking on 2 levels Universal pan Baking tray Baking tins/dishes on two wire racks

Height 3 1 3 1

Use the 4D hot air heating function. Note: Items that are placed in the appliance on baking trays or in baking tins/dishes at the same time will not necessarily be ready at the same time.
29.3Roasting, braising and grilling tips
¡ The recommended settings are for fridge-temperature food and unstuffed, oven-ready poultry.
¡ Place the poultry onto the cookware breast-side or skin-side down.
¡ Turn roasting joints, grilled items or whole fish after approx. ½ to of the specified time.
¡ The meat probe allows you to cook with absolute precision. Take note of the important information on using it correctly. Page 20

How it worksen
Roasting on the wire rack Food roasted on the wire rack will become very crispy on all sides. You can roast large poultry, for example, or multiple individual pieces at the same time. ¡ Roast pieces of a similar weight and thickness. The
grilled food will brown evenly and will remain succulent and juicy. ¡ Place the food to be roasted directly on the wire rack. ¡ To catch any liquids that drip down, place the universal pan, with the wire rack inside it, into the cooking compartment at the specified shelf height. ¡ Add up to ½ litre of water to the universal pan, depending on the size and type of food that you want to roast. You can make a sauce from the juices that are collected. This also means that less smoke is produced and the cooking compartment does not become as dirty. Roasting in cookware If you cover the cookware when you cook your food, this will keep the cooking compartment cleaner.
General information about roasting in cookware ¡ Use heat-resistant, ovenproof cookware. ¡ Place the cookware on the wire rack. ¡ Glass cookware is best. ¡ Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for your roast-
ing dishes. Roasting in uncovered cookware ¡ Use a deep roasting dish. ¡ If you do not have any suitable cookware, you can
use the universal pan. Roasting in covered cookware ¡ Use a suitable lid that seals well. ¡ When roasting meat, there should be at least 3 cm
between the food and the lid. The meat may expand.
WARNING Risk of scalding! Very hot steam may escape when the lid is opened after cooking. Steam may not be visible, depending on the temperature. Lift the lid in such a way that the hot steam can es-
cape away from you. Keep children away from the appliance. Grilling Grill food if you want it to be crispy. The “Grill” type of heating is good for cooking thinner pieces of poultry, meat and fish such as steaks, drumsticks and burgers. It is also excellent for toasting bread. Circulated air grilling is very well suited to cooking whole poultry and fish, as well as meat, e.g. roast pork with crackling. ¡ When grilling several food items, choose pieces that
are of a similar weight and thickness. The grilled food will brown evenly and will remain succulent and juicy. ¡ Place the food to be grilled directly onto the wire rack.

41

How it works

¡ To catch any liquids that drip down, place the universal pan into the cooking compartment at least one level below the wire rack.
Notes ¡ The grill element switches on and off continuously.
This is normal. The grill setting that you use determines how frequently this occurs. ¡ Smoke may be produced when grilling.
29.4Cooking tips for steaming
Cook your food gently. The food remains particularly succulent. In contrast to cooking with added steam, the meat does not become crispy on the outside. ¡ Use uncovered, heat-resistant cookware that is suit-
able for cooking with steam. ¡ The perforated steaming tray, size XL, is the best
option here. To catch any liquid that drips down, slide the universal pan into the cooking compartment one level below. Alternatively, you can place a glass dish onto the wire rack. ¡ Cover food that you would normally cook in a bain marie with film, e.g. cling film. ¡ You do not need to turn the food. ¡ To obtain a slightly different flavour, you can sear the meat, poultry or fish before steaming. Reduce the cooking time. ¡ Larger food items require a longer heat-up time and a longer cooking time. ¡ If you are using several pieces which are the same weight, the appliance’s heat-up time is increased. The cooking time remains the same.

¡ Open the door as infrequently as possible during steaming. Wipe the condensate drip tray after preparation. If the condensate drip tray overflows, this may cause damage to kitchen units.
¡ The main part of the user manual contains information on how to configure the steam settings. “Steam”, Page 17
Vegetables on several levels You can easily cook more than one type of food or even whole menus, e.g. broccoli and potatoes, on 2 levels. Page 45 Rice or cereal products ¡ Add water or liquid in the specified ratio.
For example, 1:1.5 means add 150 ml liquid for every 100 g rice.
29.5Cooking instructions for ready meals
¡ The cooking result greatly depends on the quality of the food. Pre-browning and irregularities may already be present in the food before cooking.
¡ Do not use frozen products that are covered with a thick layer of ice. Remove any ice on the food.
¡ Take ready meals out of the packaging. ¡ If you are warming or cooking the ready meal in
cookware, make sure that the cookware is heat-resistant. ¡ Distribute foods that are in the form of separate pieces, such as bread rolls and potato products, so that they are spread out flat and evenly on the accessory. Leave a little space between the individual pieces. ¡ Follow the manufacturer’s instructions on the packaging.
