Bosch Appliances HEI8054U manual Oven Features

Double Element (some models)

The dual element consists of two (a small and a large) radi- ant element within the same heating area. Either the small element, or both elemetns may be selected for use.

Triple Element (some models)

The triple element consists of three (small, medium and large) radiant ribbon elements within the same heating area. Either the small element, the small and medium element or all three elements may be selected for use, in order to better match the size of cookware.

Power Element (some models)

This element is used fro faster time to boil and low simmer, all in one element. There are two elements that are the full size of the cooking zone.

Warming Zone

The warming element consists of one radiant element. The temperature is preset to the warming temperature set by the oven control panel.

Retained Heat

The glass cooking surface retains heat and stays hot after the element(s) have been turned off. The retained heat may be used to hold foods at serving temperatures for a short time. If a hot surface light is on, use caution when working or cleaning around the cooktop as the cooktop is still hot.

Temperature Limiter

Each radiant heating element has its own sensor to protect the glass cooking surface from extreme high temperatures. The limiters will operate automatically by cycling the element off regardless of the cook setting.

Although cycling is normal, any one of the following conditions can activate the limiter and cause it to cycle on and off more than usual:

•The base of the pan is not making full contact with the heating surface (due to a warped or uneven base).

•The pan is too small for the element.

•The pan has boiled dry.

•The material or shape of the pan is slow to transfer the heat.

Hot Surface Indicator

The cooktop displays a hot indicator light to show when the cooking surface is too hot to touch. If a hot surface light is on, use caution when working or cleaning around the cooktop as the cooktop is still hot.

Oven Features

Cooling Fan

The cooling fan runs during all cooking modes. The fan can be heard when it is running, and warm air may be felt as it is released from the oven vent. The fan may also run after the oven is off.

Convection Fan

The convection fan operates during any convection mode. When the oven is operating in the convection mode, the fan will turn off automatically when the door is opened. The convection fan does run during self-clean, although not at the beginning of the mode. May run during self clean.

Note: On some models, the convection fan also runs during preheat for the bake mode.

Oven Bottom

The oven bottom conceals the lower heating element. As a result the element is protected from damage and spills.

Note:

Do not place food directly on the oven bottom.

Oven Vent

The oven vent is located at the top back of the range.. Warm air may be released from the vent before, during and after cooking. It is normal to see steam escaping from the vent and condensation may collect in this area. This area may be warm when the oven is in use. Do not block the vent as it is important for air circulation.

9CAUTION

Do not use aluminum foil or protective liners to line any part of an appliance, especially soven bottom. Installation of these liners may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.

Automatic Shutoff

The oven will automatically shut off after 24 hours.

Self-Cleaning

The oven features a self-cleaning function that eliminates the manual labor involved with cleaning your oven.

Indicators and Other Features

Default Settings - The cooking modes automatically select the default temperature. These can be changed when a different one is needed.
