Self-Cleaning; Important Notes; Before Self-Cleaning; Making Settings - Bosch HBG73U5 0S Series Instruction Manual

Self-cleaning

During self-cleaning, the oven heats up to approx. 500 . This
burns off residues from roasting, grilling or baking and you only
need to wipe the ashes from the cooking compartment.
You can choose from three cleaning levels.
Level Degree of cleaning
1 gentle
2 medium
3 intensive
The heavier and older the dirt, the higher the cleaning level
should be. It is sufficient to clean the cooking compartment
every two to three months. If required, you can clean the oven
more frequently than this. A cleaning cycle requires only
approx. 2.5 - 4.7 kilowatt hours.

For your safety, the oven door locks automatically. The oven
door cannot be opened again until the cooking compartment
has cooled slightly and the padlock symbol for the locking
mechanism disappears.
