Self-cleaning surfaces
The back panel in the cooking compartment is self-cleaning. The self-cleaning surfaces are coated with a porous, matt ceramic layer and have a rough surface. When the appliance is in operation, the self-cleaning surfaces absorb splashes from roasting or grilling and break them down.
If the self-cleaning surfaces no longer clean themselves adequately during operation, heat up the cooking compartment specifically to the right temperature. → "Regenerating self-cleaning surfaces in the cooking compartment".
Lighting
One or more oven lights illuminate the cooking compartment.
When you open the appliance door, the light in the cooking compartment switches on. If the appliance door remains open for longer than around 18 minutes, the light switches off again.
For most operating modes, the lighting is switched on during operation. The lighting switches off again when the operation ends.
Cooling fan
The cooling fan switches on and off depending on the appliance's temperature. The hot air escapes above the door.
ATTENTION![warning]()
Covering the ventilation slots will cause the appliance to overheat.
- Do not cover the ventilation slots.
To ensure that the appliance cools down more quickly after operation, the cooling fan continues to run for a certain period afterwards.

Depending on the appliance type, additional or more comprehensive functions are available for your appliance with the Home Connect app. You can find more information about this in the app. → "Home Connect ".
Types of heating
To ensure that you always find the right type of heating to cook your food, we explain the differences and applications below. The symbols for each type of heating help you to remember them.
When you select a type of heating, the appliance suggests a suitable temperature or setting. You can use these values or change them within the specified range.
For temperature settings above 275°C and grill setting 3, the appliance reduces the temperature to approx. 275°C or grill setting 1 after approx. 40 minutes.
![Bosch - HBG7341B1M - Types of heating Types of heating]()
Temperature
With most types of heating, you can read the current temperature in the cooking compartment from approx. 30°C and the set temperature side-by-side on the display during heating, e.g. 120|210°C.
When you are preheating the appliance, the optimal time to place the food in the cooking compartment is as soon as the displayed temperature in the cooking compartment and the set temperature are the same.
Note: Due to thermal inertia, the temperature that is displayed may differ slightly from the actual temperature inside the cooking compartment.
Residual heat indicator
When the appliance is switched off, a red line around the control ring indicates the residual heat in the cooking compartment. The further the temperature drops, the darker the ring. The ring goes out completely at approx. 60°C.
Accessories
Use original accessories. These have been made especially for your appliance.
Note: Accessories may become deformed if they get hot. Deformation has no effect on function. As the accessory cools down, it will regain its original shape.
The accessories supplied may differ depending on the appliance model.

How it works
Here, you can find the ideal settings for various types of food as well as the best accessories and cookware. We have perfectly tailored these recommendations to your appliance.
Tip: A lot of other information about the preparation, corresponding adjustment values and recipes can be found in the Home Connect app or on our website www.bosch-home.com.
General cooking tips
Take note of the following information when cooking all types of food.
- The temperature and cooking time depend on the amount of food and the recipe. Settings ranges are specified for this reason. Try using the lower values to start with.
- The setting values apply to food placed in the cooking compartment while the cooking compartment is still cold. If you want to preheat anyway, do not place accessories into the cooking compartment until it has finished preheating.
- Remove any accessories that are not being used from the cooking compartment.
ATTENTION![warning]()
Acidic food may damage the wire rack
- Do not place acidic food, such as fruit or food with an acidic marinade directly on the wire rack.
In rare cases, small amounts of nickel may pass into the food.
You can buy suitable accessories from customer service, from specialist retailers or online. → "Other accessories".
Baking tips
- Dark-coloured metal baking tins are most suitable for baking cakes, bread and other baked goods.
- Use wide, shallow cookware for bakes and gratins. Food takes longer to cook in deep, narrow cookware and it browns more on top.
- If you are cooking bakes directly in the universal pan, place the universal pan into the cooking compartment at level 2.
- The setting values for bread dough apply to both dough placed on a baking tray and dough placed in a loaf tin.
ATTENTION![warning]()
When the cooking compartment is hot, any water inside it will create steam. The change in temperature may cause damage.
- Never pour water into the cooking compartment when it is still hot.
- Never place cookware containing water on the cooking compartment floor.

Note: Items that are placed in the appliance on baking trays or in baking tins/dishes at the same time will not necessarily be ready at the same time.
Roasting, braising and grilling tips
- The recommended settings are for fridge-temperature food and unstuffed, oven-ready poultry.
- Place the poultry onto the cookware breast-side or skin-side down.
- Turn roasting joints, grilled items or whole fish after approx. ½ to ⅔ of the specified time.
Roasting on the wire rack
Food roasted on the wire rack will become very crispy on all sides. You can roast large poultry, for example, or multiple individual pieces at the same time.
- Roast pieces of a similar weight and thickness. The grilled food will brown evenly and will remain succulent and juicy.
- Place the food to be roasted directly on the wire rack.
- To catch any liquids that drip down, place the universal pan, with the wire rack inside it, into the cooking compartment at the specified shelf height.
- Add up to ½ litre of water to the universal pan, depending on the size and type of food that you want to roast.
You can make a sauce from the juices that are collected. This also means that less smoke is produced and the cooking compartment does not become as dirty.
Roasting in cookware
If you cover the cookware when you cook your food, this will keep the cooking compartment cleaner.
- Use heat-resistant, ovenproof cookware.
- Place the cookware on the wire rack.
- Glass cookware is best.
- Follow the manufacturer's instructions for your roasting dishes.
Roasting in uncovered cookware
- Use a deep roasting dish.
- If you do not have any suitable cookware, you can use the universal pan.
Roasting in covered cookware
- Use a suitable lid that seals well.
- When roasting meat, there should be at least 3 cm between the food and the lid. The meat may expand.
![]()
Risk of scalding!
Very hot steam may escape when the lid is opened after cooking. Steam may not be visible, depending on the temperature.

Grilling
Grill food if you want it to be crispy.
The "Grill" type of heating is good for cooking thinner pieces of poultry, meat and fish such as steaks, drumsticks and burgers. It is also excellent for toasting bread.
Circulated air grilling is very well suited to cooking whole poultry and fish, as well as meat, e.g. roast pork with crackling.
- When grilling several food items, choose pieces that are of a similar weight and thickness. The grilled food will brown evenly and will remain succulent and juicy.
- Place the food to be grilled directly onto the wire rack.
- To catch any liquids that drip down, place the universal pan into the cooking compartment at least one level below the wire rack.
Notes
- The grill element switches on and off continuously. This is normal. The grill setting that you use determines how frequently this occurs.
- Smoke may be produced when grilling.
Cooking instructions for ready meals
- The cooking result greatly depends on the quality of the food. Pre-browning and irregularities may already be present in the food before cooking.
- Do not use frozen products that are covered with a thick layer of ice. Remove any ice on the food.
- Take ready meals out of the packaging.
- If you are warming or cooking the ready meal in cookware, make sure that the cookware is heat-resistant.
- Distribute foods that are in the form of separate pieces, such as bread rolls and potato products, so that they are spread out flat and evenly on the accessory. Leave a little space between the individual pieces.
- Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the packaging.
