Using proper cookware

The size and type of cookware used will influence the setting needed for best cooking results. Be sure to follow the recommendations for using proper cookware as illustrated in Figs. 1 & 2.

Cookware should have flat bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface heating element (See Fig. 2). Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware (See Fig. 1). For more information about the ceramic cooktop see “Cooktop Cleaning & Maintenance” in the General Care & Cleaning section.

Good Cookware

Poor Cookware

Curved and warped pan.

Flat bottom and straight sides.

The type and size of cookware, the number of surface elements in use and their settings are all factors that will affect the amount of heat that will spread to areas beyond the surface elements. The areas surrounding the elements may become hot enough to cause burns.

Element ON and Hot Surface Indicator Lights

Your appliance is equipped with two different types of radiant surface control indicator lights that will glow on the backguard — the Element On indicator light and the Hot Surface indicator lights.

The Element ON indicator lights are located on the control panel above each radiant element control knob and will glow when a surface element is turned ON. A quick glance at this indicator light after cooking is an easy check to be sure ALL surface controls are turned OFF. The Hot Surface indicator light located on the control panel will glow when any surface cooking area heats up and will remain on until the glass cooktop has cooled to a MODERATE level.

Element ON Indicator Lights

Tight fitting lids.

Weight of handle does not tilt pan. Pan is well balanced.

Pan sizes match the amount of food to be prepared and the size of the surface element.

Made of a material that conducts heat well.

Easy to clean.

Always match pot diameter to element size.

Pan larger than cooking area marked on cooktop by more than one-half inch or 12mm.

Heavy handle tilts pan.

Pan is smaller or larger than heating area marked on cooktop.

Note:

• Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the element

to cycle ON and OFF, even at the HI setting. This helps

to prevent damage to the ceramic smoothtop. Cycling

at the HI setting is normal and will occur more often if

the cookware is too small for the radiant element or if

the cookware bottom is not flat.

• Be sure to read the detailed instructions for ceramic

glass cooktop cleaning in the Cleaning and

HES3023U specifications

The Bosch Appliances HES3023U is a standout induction cooktop that perfectly marries sleek design with state-of-the-art cooking technology. This 30-inch electric cooktop boasts a variety of features and functionalities that cater to the needs of modern home chefs, ensuring precision, efficiency, and convenience in their culinary pursuits.

One of the most notable features of the HES3023U is its induction cooking technology.

The cooktop heats the cookware itself, leading to greater energy efficiency and reducing cooking energy waste.

The HES3023U comes equipped with four cooking zones, each featuring an adjustable heating element that provides versatility for various pot sizes. With up to 3,700 watts of power available on the largest zone, this cooktop can handle everything from gentle simmering to vigorous boiling. Moreover, the Power Boost feature enhances the heating capacity for a short time, making tasks such as boiling water much quicker.

Designed with the home cook in mind, the Bosch HES3023U includes a range of user-friendly features, such as touch control technology that provides a sleek and seamless interface for adjusting settings. The timer function allows for precise cooking times, and the heat indicator keeps users informed about the temperature of the zones, enhancing safety in the kitchen.

For added convenience, the cooktop incorporates a lock feature, which prevents accidental adjustments, especially in households with children. The automatic shut-off feature adds another layer of safety by turning off the cooktop when it senses inactivity, ensuring peace of mind while cooking.

Aesthetically, the Bosch HES3023U is designed to complement contemporary kitchen spaces. Its sleek black glass surface not only looks elegant but is also easy to clean, making maintenance a breeze. The flush installation further enhances its modern appeal, allowing it to seamlessly integrate into the kitchen countertop.

In summary, the Bosch Appliances HES3023U induction cooktop represents a fusion of technology and design, providing an unparalleled cooking experience with powerful features, innovative safety measures, and an elegant appearance that fits perfectly in any modern kitchen.
