Bosch HBLP451LUC Instructions for Use - Page 21

• Use the interior oven light to view the food through the oven window rather than opening the door frequently. • Use the Timer to keep track of cooking times. Baking Pans and Dishes • Glass baking dishes absorb heat. Reduce oven temperature 25° F when baking using glass dishes. • Preheat the oven before adding glass baking dishes. • Use pans that provide the desired browning. For tender, light, golden-brown crusts, use light, anodized or shiny metal bakeware. • Dark, rough or dull pans (nonstick or anodized) will absorb heat and result in a browner, crisper crust. Some manufacturers recommend reducing the temperature 25 ºF when using this type of pan. Follow manufacturers' recommendations. • Insulated cookie sheets or bakeware will increase the length of cooking time. • Do not set any heavy object on the open oven door. • Do not keep empty pans or pizza stones in the oven during cooking as this could change the cooking performance. Store pans outside the oven. High Altitude Baking • When cooking at high altitudes, recipes and cooking times will vary. • For accurate information, write the Extension Service, Colorado State University, Fort Collins, Colorado 80521. There may be a cost for the guides. Specify which high altitude food preparation guide you prefer: general information, cakes, cookies, breads, etc. Condensation • It is normal for a certain amount of moisture to evaporate from the food during any cooking process. The amount depends on the moisture content of the food. The moisture may condense on any surface cooler than the inside of the oven, such as the control panel.

Auto Convection Conversion reduces the temperature you enter automatically. Simply enter the package or recipe temperature when setting the mode. The control calculates the correct temperature and it is shown in the display. The Auto Convection Conversion feature can be turned off to allow for manual temperature adjustments. See "Auto Convection Conversion" in the "Setup" section for details. Bake % Bake is cooking with dry, heated air. Both the upper and lower elements cycle to maintain the oven temperature. The Bake mode can be used to prepare a variety of food items, from pastries to casseroles. Refer to recipe or package directions for oven temperature and baking time. Tips • Preheat the oven if the recipe recommends it. • Baking time will vary with the size, shape and finish of the bakeware. Dark metal pans or nonstick coatings will cook faster with darker results. Insulated bakeware will lengthen the cook time for most foods. • For best results, bake food on a single rack with at least 1 1/2" space between pans or dishes and oven walls. • Eliminate heat loss from the oven by using the window to periodically check food for doneness instead of opening the door. • If multiple racks are necessary, use a maximum of 2 racks. For cookies, use rack postions 2 and 5. English 18
