The limited volume of offers is due to low consumer demand for this category of devices, associated with the need for gas networks in the proposed location of such equipment.
Electric models

FOR YOUR INFORMATION!
The last digit in the marking (No. 9) informs about modifications of a particular model. If this is the first, then the marking is "1", but if the device has been upgraded, then the corresponding numbers are assigned to it according to the number of the changes made.
Bosch built-in ovens with microwave function save space in the kitchen and are very functional
What to look for when choosing
The choice of a specific model of the oven is influenced by the following indicators:
- The nature of use - depends on the type of energy source (gas, electricity).
FOR YOUR INFORMATION!
Gas models can be connected to a liquefied gas cylinder, which makes it possible for the mobile use of such equipment, as well as in places where there is no centralized power supply.
- Location - in residential buildings where there is no gasification, it makes no sense to buy gas models.
In addition, important selection criteria are such parameters as:
- technical characteristics: geometric dimensions and class of energy consumption, a set of basic and additional functions, as well as electric power and gas consumption per unit of time;
IMPORTANT!
The working volume of the frying chamber depends on the geometric dimensions of the oven, and it is he who determines the amount of food prepared for one tab, which is important for a large family.
- the presence of additional options and capabilities that expand the functionality of the device: a steamer and a microwave oven, self-cleaning and heating of ready meals, a cooling fan and a temperature probe, etc.
With telescopic guides, it is convenient to load dishes and take out ready meals.

Each model of the oven comes with an instruction manual for its operation, which describes the operation of the appliance in different modes of its use, safety rules are indicated, as well as possible malfunctions and their ways elimination. In order to use the Bosch technique correctly, you need to know the designations located on the control panel and which modes they correspond to. Images, the most common of them, as well as what function and temperature they correspond to, are shown in the following figures:
Of the basic safety rules, the following requirements should be noted:
- when using gas models, the connection to the gas riser must be carried out by a representative of a specialized organization dealing with gas equipment;
- when using electric models, the oven housing must be grounded, which is achieved by connection to an electrical network with a voltage of 220 Volts, made according to a three-wire circuit, with 3 grounding conductor;
- flammable substances and objects cannot be stored and heated inside the oven;
- when using the inner surface of the frying chamber and the utensils in which food is cooked, are heated to a high temperature, which must be taken into account when placing food and delivering it ready meals.
Nuances of repairing Bosch ovens
Bosch brand equipment is famous for its quality and reliability, however, there are situations when the device fails and requires repair.
IMPORTANT!
It is not necessary to carry out repairs yourself if the equipment has not expired the warranty period, because in case of damage to the seals, repairs at the service center will be carried out on general terms.
After the warranty period has expired, in the event of a malfunction of the oven, repairs can be performed independently, and the nature of the breakdown can be determined using the self-diagnosis of the appliance.
To identify a malfunction, the manufacturer programs the devices in such a way that in the event of a malfunction, an error code corresponding to the malfunction appears on the display. The main error codes and their causes are shown in the following table.
| Error code | Cause of malfunction |
| Er2 | Problems in the external electrical network or connection to it. |
| Er3 | Oven overheating. |
| Er8 | Malfunctions in internal electrical circuits. |
| E005 | The protective relay does not work. |
| E011 | Sticking buttons or control sensors. |
| E115 | The temperature in the frying chamber is too high. |
| E305 | Inconsistency of internal electronic control devices. |
Repair of Bosch brand household appliances, of course, can be performed by a person who understands electronics, but for an ordinary user the best solution to this issue would be to contact the service center of the company or another organization specializing in the repair of household technology.
