safety precautions must be followed, including those in
the following pages.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
The California Safe Drinking and Toxic Enforcement
Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list
ofsubstances known to the state to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm, and requires
businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to
such substances.
The burning ofgas cooking fuel and the elimination of
soil during self<leaning can generate small amounts
of Carbon Monoxide.
The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens gives off
very small amounts of formaldehyde during the first
several cleaning cycles.
California lists formaldehyde as a potential cause of
cancer. Carbon Monoxide is a potential cause of
reproductive toxicity.
Exposure to these substances can be minimized by:
!. Providing good ventilation when cooking with gas
2. Providing good ventilation during and immediately
after self cleaning the oven.
3. Operating the unit according to the instructions in
this manual.
The Bosch range referred to thoughout this manual is manufactured by BSH Home Appliance Corp.

ADD][TONAL PRECAUTIONS FOR GAS-
POWERED APPLIANCES:
If you smell gas, your installer hasnot done a proper job
ofchecking for leaks. If the connections are not perfectly
tight, you can have a small leak and, therefore, a faint
smell. Finding a gas leak is not a "do-it-yourself"
procedure. Some leaks canonly be found with the burner
control in the ON position and this must be done by a
qualified service technician. See warning, "What to do if
you Smell Gas.", page !.
In the event that a burner goes out and gas escapes,
open a window or door. Donot attempt to use the cooktop
until the gas has had time to dissipate. Wait at least five
minutes before using the range.
Do not hang articles from any part of the appliance or
place anything against the oven. Some fabrics are quite
flammable and may catch on fire.
Ifthe range isnear a window, be certain the curtains do
not blow over or near the cooktop burners. They could
catch on fire.
When using the cooktop, do not touch the burner grates
or the immediate surrounding area. Areas adjacent to
the burners may become hot enough to cause burns.
Never leave the cooktop unattended when in use. Boilovers
cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.
Hore importantly, if the burner flames are smothered,
unburned gas will escape into the room. See warning,
"What to do if you Smell Gas", page 1.
Avoid high flame settings with a pan larger than the grate
or with one that spans more than one burner, for
prolonged periods of time. That can result in poor
combustion that results in harmful by=products.
Forproper lighting performance of the burners, keep the
ignitor ports dean. It isnecessary to dean these when
there isa boilover or when the burner does not light even
though the electronic ignitors click.
After a spill or boilover, turn off the burner and allow
cooktop to cool. Clean around the burner and burner
ports. After cleaning, check for proper operation.
Besure all cooktop controls are turned offand the cooktop
is cool before using any type of aerosol cleaner on or
around the cooktop. The sprayed chemicals could ignite
or cause hot metal parts to corrode.
Grease is flammable. Let hot grease cool before
attempting to handle it. Avoid letting grease deposits
collect. Clean after each use.
Do not allow flames to spread around or over the rim of
pan that contains grease. A grease fire could be ignited.
Always place pan on burner before turning iton. Be sure
you know which knob controls which burner. When cooking
iscomplete, turn the burner off before removing the pan.
RANGE SAFETY
In order to prevent possible burn injury while using the
appliance, tie long hair sothat it does not hang loose, and
do not wear loose fitting clothing or hanging garments,
such asties, scarves, jewelry, or dangling sleeves. Avoid
reaching or leaning over the appliance. Be aware that
certain clothing and hair sprays may contain flammable
chemicals.
The burners may be hot even though they are not on.
Interior surfaces ofan oven become hot enough to cause
burns.
Donot touch burners or interior surfaces of oven during
operation.
During and after use, do nottouch or letclothing or other
flammable materials contact the burners or the interior
surfaces ofthe oven until they have had sufficient time to
cool.
The trim on the sides of the oven door may become hot
enough to cause burns.
Exercisecaution when opening the door-standing to the
side, open the door slowly and slightly to let hotair and!or
steam escape, keeping your face dear of the oven opening
and making surethere are no children or pets near the unit.
Only after the release of hot air and/or steam should you
proceed with your cooking. Unlessneeded for cooking or
cleaning purposes, keepdoors shut, and do not leaveopen
doors unattended.
Do notheatunopened food containers. Build-up of pressure
may cause the container to burst and cause injury.
Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is
cool. Ifa rack must be moved while oven ishot, do not let
potholder contact the hot heating elements.
Use only dry potholders. Moistor damp potholders on hot
surfaces may result in burnsfrom steam. Do notlet potholder
touch hot heating elements. Donot usea towel or other
bulky cloth.
Keep the oven free from grease build up.
Donot place food directly on oven bottom.
When usingcooking or roasting bagsin the oven, follow the
manufacturer's directions.

burner cap iscompletely seated into the burner base
before attempting to light the burner. [f the burner cap
is not placed correctly, the burner may not light or the
flame may not burn completely or correctly.
Burner Grates
Your cooktop has two grates: one forthe left sideofthe cooktop
and one for the right side of the cooktop. Position them as
shown in the figure below. Donot operate the burner without
a pan on the grate.

WARNING: All burner grates and burner caps
must be properly positioned on the cooktop
whenever thecooktop is in use. Each of the feet
on the grates must be placed into the corre-
sponding dimples in the cooktop. Donot use a
grate iftherubber feet are missingor damaged.

Guide", page 27).
2) type, quantity and temperature of the food
3) burner used
4) the cook's preference.
CAUTION: To prevent possible damage tothe pan or range,
the flame should not extend beyond the edge ofthe pan.
Page 10

Typical Flame Characteristics
For natural gas use, the burner flame should be bhJe in color
and stable with no yellow tips, excessive noise or fluttering. It
should burn completely around the burner cap. For Propane
(LP) use, some yellow tips are normal. See Installation Instruc-
tions for further explaination.
Foreign particles in the gas line may cause an orange flame
during initial use. This should disappear with use. Checkburner
capto make sure port holes are notobstructed. If the ports are
clogged, see Cleaning the Cooktop, page 23.
Note: An audible "pop" may be heard when the burner isturned
off manually. The"popping" may be louder with LP gas than
with natural gas. This is normal.
Refer tothe Cooking Guide (previous page) for flame settings.
The burner controls have an infinite number of heat settings
with no fixed positions.
To LIGHT: Select the appropriate control knob, pushin and turn
counterclockwise to the flame symbol. The ignitor will click.
ToSET FLAMESIZE:After lighting, turn counterclockwise tothe
desired flame size.
Turn OFF byturning the control knob clockwise to OFF.
A plastic bezel islocated under each control knob.
To remove knebr spring and bezel: Place knob in the OFF
position. Pull straight out and off. Spring and bezelwill be loose
and can be pulled straight off after the knob isremoved.
Power FaiNure
In the event of a power failure, the cooktop burners can be
ignited manually. Holda match atthe ports and turn the control
knobtothe HI position. Wait untilthe flame isburning all theway
around the burner before adjusting the flame to the desired
height. DONOT attempt to light the broil burner or bake
burner manually,
_k CAUTION: All igniters spark when anysingle burner is
turned ON. Donot touch anyofthe burners when the cooktop
is in use.
To repmace knob, spring and bezeh Place spring and knob
on top of bezelbeing careful to line up center holes. Push down
on knobsothat spring is tense. With knob in off position, place
center hole around shaft on range and push bezel, spring and
knob in toward range. Release knob.
Electronic Ignition
The cooktop uses electronic igniters to light the burners. There
isno pilotlight. Eachburnerhasitsownigniter. For best results,
center the pan over the burner before ignition.
The ignitor should be clean and dry for proper operation.
Avoid getting water or food on the igniter.
If the igniter iswet or soiled, itmay spark without igniting
the burner.
Note: If the burner does not light within 4 seconds, turn the
burner off. Checkto see that the cap ispositioned correctly on
the burner baseand the igniter is clean and dry. If a burner still
fails to ignite, see Self Help - Cooktop, page 29.
Burner Performance
Forbest cooking results, observe the following burner charac-
teristics:
Pewer$im TM Burner (Right Front) (HGS25 models):The
PowerSim TM bumar isthe most verstile ofthe burners. The cap
retains heat longer than normal burner caps. This results in a
gentle, more predictable, heat. It can be set low enough to
simmer sauces without scorching. However, the flame can
also be set high enough to stir-fry and boil quickly. The large
size of the burner cap allows the burner to accomodate large
pots, soitis alsowell suited to cooking large qua ntities offood.
When the PowerSim TM burner is engaged, the SIIq indicator to
the right of the control knob light islit.
Right Rear: The right rear burner isthe smallest burner. It
is wellsuited for delicate cooking such as melting chocolate and
butter.

Oven Racks
Your oven hasthree racks, HGS25 models are equipped with
2 fiatand onetelescopic. All others have 3fiat racks. The racks
are designed with a stop so they will stop before coming
completely out and not tilt.
Caution: To avoid possible burns, placeoven racksin
desired positions before turning the ovenon. Always useoven
mitts when the oven iswarm.
Removing from oven: Grasp rack firmly on both sides and
pull rack toward you. When the stop isreached, tilt rack up and
pull the rest of the way out.
Replacing in oven: Grasprack firmly on both sides. Tilt rack
up to allow stop into rack holder. Bring rack to a horizontal
position and push the rest of the way in. Rack shouldbe straight
and fiat, not crooked,
Telescopic Rack (HGS25models): Thetelescopic rack allows
for easier access to cooking food. To use, grasp entire rack
(both sections) ofrack and pull straight out untilstop is reached.
To extend rack, grasp top section and pull straight out. To
remove telescopic rack, with top section in closed position,
grasp entire rack (both sections) firmly on both sides. When
the stop isreached, tilt rack up and pull the rest ofthe way out.
Rack Position (see graphic at right for further details)
RACK: 6 (highest position)- Use for melting cheese and broiling
thin foods.
RACK S - Use for broiling most meats and toasting bread.
_CK 4 - Use for broiling thicker meats.
_¢K 3- Usefor most bakedgoods when baking on one rack,
such as on a cookie sheet or baking pan, cakes, frozen
convenience foods, biscuits, brownies, muffins.
_CK 2 - Used for pies, casseroles, breads, bundt or pound
cakes, small roasts or poultry.
_¢K :1(lowest position) - Use for angel food cake, large
roasts, turkey.
Hultipme Rack Cooking:
When using multiple racks, follow the placement
recomendations below.
Two rack: Forcakes, use rack positions 2 and 5.
Three rack: (for convection bake): Use positions 1,3 and 6.
Pan Placement
Baking results are better ifpansare placed in the center ofthe
oven. If baking more than one pan on a rack, allow at least 1"
to 1 1/2"of air space around the pan. When baking four cake
layers atthe same time, stagger pans on two racks so that one
pan is not directly above the other. To allow for best baking
results, place cakes on back of upper rack and front of lower
rack (see graphic at right).
Preheating
Preheat the oven ifthe recipe recommends it.
Preheating isnecessary for good results when baking cakes,
cookies, pastry and breads. When using the probe preheating
is not recommended. Setting a higher temperature does not
shorten preheat time. Place ovenracks in proper position before
preheating. A beep will confirm that the oven ispreheated and
the selected oven temperature will be displayed.
Baking Pans
Glass baking dishes absorb heat, therefore, reduce oven
temperature 25° F when baking in glass.
Shiny,smooth metal reflects heatresulting in lighter, moredelicate
browning.
Dark, rough or dull pans will absorb heat resulting in browner,
crisper crust. Some manufacturers recommended reducing
temperature 25° F when using this type of pan. Follow
manufacturer recommendations. Use dark pan for pies.
Insulated baking pans may increase the length of the
recommended baking time.
Power Failure
DO NOT attempt to Jight the broil burner or bake
burner manually. Only the cootop burners can be lit manu-
ally.

BAKE, PROOF (HGS25 models) and
WARM
Baking is cooking with dry, heated air, Thelower burner cycles
to maintain the oven temperature:
The Bake mode can be used to prepare a variety of food
items, from pastries to casseroles. It canalso be usedto roast
meats.
In the Warming mode, the oven uses the lower element to
maintain a low temperature tokeepfood at serving temperature.
Use the Warming setting on the oven to keep foods hot
until ready to serve.
The Warming mode temperatures are !40 ° - 220° R The
default temperature is 170 ° R
Foods that need to be kept moist should be covered with
a lid or aluminum foil.
In the Proofing mode, the oven will use the lower burner to
maintain a low temperature to proof bread. Proofing isthe
rising of a yeast dough.
The Proofing mode temeratures are 85° to ! !0 ° F. The
default temperature is !00 ° E
Loosely cover the bowl or pan and use any rack that
accomodates the size of the container.
Keep the door closed and usethe oven light to check
the rising of the dough,
*The convection bake temperature is 25°F less than
recommended on packages or recipes, The temperature in
this chart has been reduced 25°R
**This chart isa guide, Actual times depend on the mixes or
recipes baked, Follow recipe or package directions and reduce
temperature appropriately,
BAKE
Convection Baking is similar to Baking. In this case, heat
comes fiom thelowerelement. Themaindifference in convection
baking is that the heat is drculated 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, pies, cupcakes, pastries, breads, snack foods and
appetizers among other items.
The benefits of Convection Baking include:
, Slight decrease in cooking time
" Three rack cooking (more even browning)
" Higher Volume (yeast items rise higher)
" Cook more items at once
For Best Results:
" Reduce recipe temperature by 25 ° R 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.

_] BROIL
Broiling uses intense heat radiated from the broil burner:
The Broil mode is best suited to cooking thin, tender cuts of
meat (!"or less), poultry and fish, It canalso be usedto 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:
Preheat oven 3-4 minutes
Steaks and Chops should be at least 3/4" thick
Brush fish and poultry with butter or oil to prevent sticking
Use the broil pan and grid included with your range
Do not cover the broiler grid with foil. It isdesigned 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.

CONVECTION ROAST
Convection Roast uses heat from the bottom burner as well
as heat circulated by the convection fan:
The Convection Roastmode is well suited to preparing tender
cuts of meat and poultry.
The benefits of Convection Roasting, include:
Asmuch as25% 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
asmuch as25%. Refer to Convection Roast Chart for
examples.
Do not cover meat or usecooking bags.
Use the broil pan and grid provided with the range for
roasting. A low=sided, uncovered pan can also be used.
Use the probe or a meat thermometer to determine the
internal temperature of the meat.
If the meat isbrowned to your liking, but isnot yet done,
a small strip of foil can be placed over the browned area
toprevent overbrowning.
Let meat stand covered with foil 10=15 minutes after
removing from the oven.

Dehydrate dries with heat from lower burner. The heat is
circulated throughout the oven bythe convection fan.
.w.i:¸iw. .w.w
Dehydrating is used to dry and/or preserve foods such as
fruits, vegetables and herbs. This mode holds an optimum low
temperature (!00 °F - 160° F) while circulating the heated air
to slowly remove moisture.
For Best Results:
Dry most fruits and vegetables at !40 ° F. Dry herbs at
100° R (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 atthe
minimum drying time.
Multiple racks can be usedsimultaneously. Contact ?'our
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.
The deer must be open during the Dehydrate _ede,
Prop the door open at least 1" by plating an object (i,e,;
wooden spoon) in the upper corner between the door and
the side panel. Be careful that the object does not touch the
oven gasket.

or the"END"temperature ofmany foods, especially meats
and poultry.
The temperature range for the probe is !35°F to 200°F
(57°C to 93°C).
Preheating the oven isnot recommended when using the
probe. A hot oven will impair your ability to easily connect
the probe to the receptacle and to insert it into the meat.
Oventemperature can be set for !00°F up to 450°F (38°C
up to 232°C).
INSERTING THE PROBE

For large poultry products and turkey's, insert the
probe in the thickest part of the inner thigh.
For other foods, such as a meatloaf, the probe tip
should be located in the center of the thickest part of
the food.
USING THE PROBE
i. Prepare meat and place in roasting pan (or on rack in
roasting pan as recipe specifies). Insert the probe into
the meat (See "Inserting the Probe", above).
2. Hake sure the probe isnot touching gristle, fat, bone, the

PROBE USE TIPS
The oven is well insulated and the retained heat will
continue to cook the meat after the oven has shut off.
For this reason, remove the meat from the oven as
soon as the control beeps.
Since meat continues to cook after being removed
from the oven, set the internal (probe) temperature 5
- 10 degrees below the desired final internal
temperature. Allow "standing time" (!0 - 20 minutes)
before carving the meat.
Always use the handle of the probe for inserting and
removing. Use a potholder to remove since the probe
becomes hot.
Remove the probe from the oven when it is not being
used.
The probe cannot be used with frozen meats. For
best results, completely thaw meats before using
the probe.
Note: Always remove probe from oven when cooking is
complete. Theprobe symbol will remain in the display until the
probe is removed. Do notleaveprobe attachment in ovenduring

SeJf Cleaning the Oven
Bosch ovens feature a self-cleaning function that eliminates
the manual labor involved with cleaning your oven. During
self-cleaning, the oven uses a very"high temperature to burn
away food soil and grease.
• It is common to see smoke and/or an occasional flame-
up during the Self-Clean cycle, depending on the content
andamount 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
In a normal Self=Cleanmode, the door does not
lock atthe beginning of the cycle; However, it does lock
prior to reaching the high self dean temperatures. The
door lock symbol wiJl appear in the display at this point.
The door will not lock at the start of the cycle.
• The oven light does not operate during this mode.
During Self-Clean, the kitchen should be well ventilated
to help eliminate odors associated with Self-Clean. Odors
will lessen with use,
• The preset length of cleaning time is4 hours. The range
can also be set to clean for 3 or 5 hours.
• The mode automatically stops at the end of the clean
hours,
When the oven heat returns to a safe temperature after
cleaning, the automatic door lock will release and the
door can be opened.
