Self Cleaning the Oven

The Bosch Range features 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 does 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.
• Four hours is the preset length of cleaning. 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 will no longer
glide smoothly on the rack guides. 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.

not clean or rub the gasket on the oven. The gasket
is designed to hold in heat during the self-clean
cycle. 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.
Caution: Do not use Commercial Oven Cleaners on
the self-clean oven or any oven part. They can
damage the finish or the part.
