Bosch BOSCH Cooktop User Manual

English 7

All these settings are recommended without the element being preheated. Use 
this chart as a guide.

A range of heat settings are listed because the actual setting depends on:

1. type and quality of pan
2. type, quantity and temperature of the food
3. element used
4. the cook’s preference.

The Heat Settings recommended on this page are based on a 240 volt power 
source. If your cooktop is connected to 208 volts, the same heat settings apply but 
foods may take a little longer to finish cooking.

Care is easy when preventative steps are taken. For example, apply a small 
amount of Cooktop Cleaning Creme® (packaged with cooktop) on a daily basis. 
This provides a protective film that makes it easy to remove water spots or food 
spatters. The temperature of the cooking surface reduces the protective qualities 
of this cleaner. It must be reapplied before each use. Use a clean cloth and apply 
Cooktop Cleaning Creme® before each use to remove dust or metal marks that 
can occur on the counterlevel surface between uses.
