PerfectBake sensor.

Your appliance is equipped with a baking sensor.

This sensor is automatically activated when you

select a baked item from the list available on

Bosch Assist.

The appliance now takes over and measures

moisture levels during the baking process. The

appliance switches off once the baked item is

cooked. An audible signal sounds. The cooking

time is not displayed, but is approximately the

time that is listed in your recipe.

Do not use any silicone bakeware or

accessories that contain silicone. This will

damage the baking sensor.

You must not open the appliance door whilst

“Baking sensor active” is shown on the

display. Otherwise, the settings will be cancelled.

In this case, the appliance will

provide you with a setting that you must

monitor yourself.

cooking compartment. Never store it inside.

How to use the PerfectRoast

probe.

Before placing your food into the cooking

compartment, insert the probe into the food.

Ensure that at least the middle measuring

point is inserted into the food.

Meat: For large pieces of meat, insert the

probe at an angle from above as far as it will

go into the meat. For relatively thin pieces of

meat, insert the probe from the side at the

thickest point.

Fish: Place the whole ﬁsh onto the wire rack

and prop it up in the swimming position using

half a potato. Insert the PerfectRoast probe

behind the head as far as it will go towards the

bones in the middle of

the ﬁsh.

Poultry: Place whole poultry on the wire rack

breast-side up. Insert the probe as far as it will

go into the breast ﬁllet at the shoulder from

wing to wing.
