When replacing the cooking compartment bulb, the bulb socket contacts are live. Before replacing the bulb, unplug the appliance from the mains or switch off the circuit breaker in the fuse box.

Burn-Back (Fire in burner tube or chamber)!
In the event of a burn-back, where the flame burns back to the jet, immediately turn off the gas supply at the control valve on the panel. After ensuring the flame is extinguished, re-light the appliance in the normal manner. Should the appliance again burn back, close the control valve and call a service technician? Do not use the appliance again until the service technician has declared that it is safe to do so.

Causes of damage

Caution!

Accessories, foil, greaseproof paper or ovenware on the cooking compartment floor: do not place accessories on the cooking compartment floor. Do not cover the cooking compartment floor with any sort of foil or greaseproof paper. Do not place ovenware on the cooking compartment floor. This will cause heat accumulation. The baking and roasting times will no longer be correct and the enamel will be damaged.
Inserting accessories: depending on the appliance model, accessories can scratch the door panel when closing the appliance door. Always insert the accessories into the cooking compartment as far as they will go.
Water in a hot cooking compartment: do not pour water into the cooking compartment when it is hot. This will cause steam. The temperature change can cause damage to the enamel.
Moist food: do not store moist food in the cooking compartment when it is closed for prolonged periods This will damage the enamel.
Fruit juice: when baking particularly juicy fruit pies, do not pack the baking tray too generously. Fruit juice dripping from the baking tray leaves stains that cannot be removed. If possible, use the deeper universal pan.
Cooling with the appliance door open: only allow the cooking compartment to cool when it is closed. Even if the appliance door is only open a little, front panels of adjacent units could be damaged over time.
Very dirty door seal: If the door seal is very dirty, the appliance door will no longer close properly when the appliance is in use. The fronts of adjacent units could be damaged.Always keep the door seal clean.
Oven door as a bearing surface: do not stand or place objects on the oven door when it is open. Do not hang objects on the oven door.
Carrying the appliance: do not carry or hold the appliance by the door handle. The door handle cannot support the weight of the appliance and could break.
Heavy accessories: do not pull out heavily laden accessories too far without first unloading them sufficiently. Heavy accessories will tip when pulled out.
This causes pressure to be exerted on the shelf supports in the cooking compartment, which can damage the enamel. Relieve the strain on the accessories when they are pulled out by raising them slightly with one hand. Caution: always use an oven cloth or oven gloves when handling hot accessories.
Grilling: do not insert the baking tray or universal pan higher than level 3 when grilling. The high heat distorts it and the enamel may be damaged when it is removed. At level 4 and 5, only grill directly on the wire rack.

Energy and environment tips

Here you can find tips on how to save energy when baking and roasting and how to dispose of your appliance properly.

Saving energy

Only preheat the oven when it is specified in the recipe that you should do so.
Open the oven door as little as possible while you are cooking, baking or roasting.
It is best to bake several cakes one after the other. The oven is still warm. This reduces the baking time for the second cake. You can also place two loaf tins next to each other.
For longer cooking times, you can switch the oven off 10 minutes before the end of the cooking time and use the residual heat to finish cooking.

Environmentally-friendly disposal
Dispose of packaging in an environmentally-friendly manner. This appliance is labelled in accordance with European Directive 2012/19/EU concerning used electrical and electronic appliances (waste electrical and electronic equipment – WEEE). The guideline determines the framework for the return and recycling of used appliances as applicable throughout the EU.

Acrylamide in foodstuffs

Acrylamide is mainly produced in grain and potato products prepared at high temperatures, such as potato crisps, chips, toast, bread rolls, bread or fine baked goods (biscuits, gingerbread, cookies). BOSCH-HGL10E150-Built-In-Oven-

Tips for using your appliance

Here you will find a selection of tips on ovenware and preparation methods.

Notes

Use the accessories provided. Additional accessories may be obtained as special accessories from specialist retailers or from the after-sales service.
Before using the oven, remove any unnecessary accessories and ovenware from the cooking compartment.
Always use an oven cloth or oven gloves when taking accessories or cookware out of the cooking compartment.

Baking

Baking tins

Use light-colored baking tins and trays wherever possible.
Always place the baking tins on the middle of the baking and roasting wire rack.

Baking tips

Roasting and grilling

Ovenware
You may use any heatresistant ovenware. Always place the ovenware in the middle of the wire rack. The enamelled baking tray is also suitable for large roasts.

Roasting tips

A lower temperature produces more even browning.
Depending on the size of the joint, add 2 or 3 tablespoons of liquid to lean meat and 8 to 10 tablespoons of liquid to pot roasts.
When cooking duck or goose, pierce the skin on the underside of the wings to allow the fat to run out.
Poultry will turn out particularly crispy and brown if you baste it towards the end of the roasting time with butter, salted water or orange juice.
Turn pieces of meat halfway through the cooking time.
When the roast is ready, turn off the oven and allow it to rest for an additional 10 minutes. This will allow the meat juices to distribute themselves better inside the roast.
When roasting large pieces of meat, you may find that the amount of steam and condensation on the oven door is more than usual. This is a normal occurrence that has no effect on the oven’s performance. Once roasting is complete, dry the oven door and window with a cloth.
If you are roasting on the wire rack, insert the enameled baking tray into shelf position 1 to collect the drips of fat.

Grilling tips

If possible, grill items should be of equal thickness. They should be at least 2 to 3 cm thick. This ensures that they brown evenly while also remaining succulent.
Place the food to be grilled in the center of the wire rack. Pour a little water into the enameled baking tray and insert this into the shelf position underneath the grill to collect the drips of fat. Never place it on the cooking compartment floor.
Drizzle some oil over the food to be grilled before you place it on the wire rack under the grill.
If the food to be grilled is thin, turn it over halfway through grilling; if it is thick, turn it over several times during grilling. Use tongs when turning the food to avoid piercing it and, in the case of meat, to keep the meat juices inside the meat.
Dark meats such as lamb and beef brown better and more quickly than light meats such as pork and veal.

Tips on using the rotary spit

Place the joint as centrally as possible on the rotary spit and secure it at both ends with the retaining clips.
You can also truss the joint with string. With poultry, bind the ends of the wings underneath the back and the thighs against the body. This prevents them from over-browning. Pierce the skin on the underside of the wings to allow the fat to escape.
