Self 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 and amount 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-Clean mode, the door does not lock at the beginning of the cycle; However, it does lock prior to reaching the high self clean temperatures. The door lock symbol will 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 is 4 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.

Preparing the Oven for Self Clean

1.Remove all utensils and bakeware.

2.Remove oven racks. If oven racks are left in the oven during the self-clean cycle, they will permanently lose the shiny finish and change to a dull dark finish. They will also not glide smoothly. See Oven Cleaning Chart for proper care.

3.Wipe up any soft soil spills and grease with paper towels. Excess grease will cause flames and smoke inside the oven during self-cleaning.

4.Review illustration below. Some areas of the oven must be cleaned by hand before the cycle begins. Use a soapy sponge or plastic scrubber or a detergent-filled S.O.S.® pad. Hand clean the oven door edge, oven front frame and up to 1-1/2 inches inside the frame with detergent and hot water. Do not clean or rub the gasket on the oven. Rinse all areas thoroughly then dry.

5.Be sure oven light is turned off and the light bulbs and lens covers are in place. Do not operate oven without lightbulb and cover in place.

Do not use commercial oven cleaners on the self-clean oven or any part; they will damage the finish or part.
