Care & Cleaning
The Bosch line of ovens feature a pyrolytic self-
cleaning function that eliminates the difficult and
time consuming manual scrubbing of the oven in-
terior. During self-cleaning the oven uses very
high temperature (approx. 850°F) to burn away
soil and grease. The fumes produced during this
function of the oven are then filtered and ex-
pelled. You will note however that a powder ash
residue will be left on the bottom of the oven after
completion of self cleaning. Once the oven has
cooled sufficiently the residue may be removed
using a damp cloth or sponge. See the following
instruction on use of the self clean function.
Make sure all controls are Off and the oven is
cool before cleaning. Failure to do so can re-
sult in burns or electrical shock.
For parts of the oven other than the oven cavity
the following cleaning methods are recom-
mended:
• Control Panel
Use warm soapy water or spray glass cleaner to
clean the control panel. With a soft cloth or
sponge wash, rinse and dry the control panel
thoroughly. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners or
steel wool pads. These will damage the surface.
• Stainless Steel
To clean, use a standard cleaner designed for
stainless steel such as: Cameo®, Bar Keepers
Friend® or Bon-Ami®. Follow manufacture in-
structions. When clean, a polish such as Twin-
kle® or Stainless Steel Magic® can be applied.
DO NOT USE ABRASIVE MATERIALS
SUCH AS STEEL WOOL OR ROUGH
SPONGES. IT WILL SCRATCH THE SUR-
FACE.
• Front of Oven Door(s) and Handle(s)
Use warm soapy water or spray glass cleaner to
clean the glass door surface. With a soft cloth
or sponge wash, rinse and dry the door front(s)
and handle(s) thoroughly. DO NOT use abra-
sive cleaners or steel wool pads. These will
damage the surface.
• Broiler Pan and Rack(s)
Use warm soapy water. With a steel wool pad
wash, rinse and thoroughly dry the pan and/or
rack(s). DO NOT clean the broiler pans or
racks by leaving them in the oven when run-
ning the Self Clean function.
• Frame Outside Door Gasket Area
Make sure oven is cool, then use warm soapy
water. With a non-abrasive, plastic scrubbing
pad clean the frame surface outside the door
gasket area. This area must be cleaned by hand
because the area outside the gasket does not get
hot enough to burn off the soil (see Figure 12).

• Door Outside gasket Area
Make sure oven is cool, then use warm soapy
water. With a non-abrasive, plastic scrubbing
pad clean the area outside the door gasket area.
This area must be cleaned by hand because the
area outside the gasket does not get hot enough
to burn off the soil (see Figure 12).
Using the Self Clean Function
The Self Clean function is a timed function and
therefore is used just as if using the oven in Im-
mediate Start/Automatic Shut-Off or Delayed
Start/Automatic Shut-Off. There are a few
preparations that must be made however as well
as some post function clean-up that you will find
described below:
,
Before using Self Clean be sure to remove
the broiler pan, pan support, pan grid anti-
splash cover as well as the racks. Also, if
you have placed any aluminum foil in the
oven this should also be removed.
No_:
If items are left in the oven during self
cleaning they may become damaged and
racks will become discolored. Also, the
racks will become difficult to slide in and
out.
2. Clean soil from the frame around the door,
outside the door gasket (see Figure 12). Do
not clean the door gasket by hand as this
