Plastic or foods with a high sugar content:

These types of soils need be removed immediately if spilled or melted onto the ceramic cooktop surface. Permanent damage (such as pitting of the cooktop surface) may occur if not removed immediately.

After turning the surface elements OFF, use a razor blade scraper or a metal spatula with a mitt and scrape the soil from the hot surface (as illustrated). Allow the cooktop to cool, and use the same method for heavy or burned on soils.

Do not use the following on the cooktop:

•Do not use abrasive cleaners and scouring pads, such as metal and some nylon pads. They may scratch the cooktop, making it more difficult to clean.

•Do not use harsh cleaners, such as chlorine bleach, ammonia or oven cleaners, as they may etch or discolor the cooktop.

•Do not use dirty sponges, cloths or paper towels, as they can leave soil or lint on the cooktop which can burn and cause discoloration.

Caution for aluminum use on the cooktop

•Aluminum Foil - Use of aluminum foil on a hot cooktop will damage the ceramic cooktop. Do not use thin aluminum cooking utensils or allow aluminum foil to touch the ceramic cooktop under ANY circumstances.

•Aluminum utensils - The melting point of aluminum is much lower than that of other metals. Care must be taken when aluminum pots or pans are used on the cooktop. If aluminum pans are allowed to boil dry when using the cooktop, not only will the utensil be destroyed, but it may fuse to, break or mark the ceramic glass surface, permanently damaging the cooktop surface.

Maintenance

Replacing an Oven Light

CAUTION:

• Make sure the appliance and lights are cool and power to the appliance has been turned off before replacing the light bulb(s). Failure to do so could result in electrical shock or burns.

•Be sure the range is unplugged and all parts are COOL before replacing light. Wear a leather-faced glove for protection against possible broken glass.

The light bulb is located at the rear of the oven and is covered with a glass shield held by a wire holder. The glass shield must be in place whenever the oven is in use.

To replace the oven light bulb:

1.Turn electrical power off at the main source or unplug the range.

2.Press wire holder to one side to release the glass shield.

3.Replace bulb with a new 40 watt appliance bulb.

4.Replace glass shield over bulb and snap wire holder into place.

5.Turn power back on again at the main source (or plug in the range back in).

6.The clock will then need to be reset. To reset, see Setting the Clock and Minute Timer in this Use and Care Guide.

With up to 3,700 watts of power available on the largest zone, this cooktop can handle everything from gentle simmering to vigorous boiling.

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.
