Bosch HBE5451UC Owner's Manual

With good care and cleaning, your oven will remain clean 

and fully-functioning for a long time to come. Here we will 

explain how to maintain and clean your oven correctly.
Notes

▯

Slight differences in the colors on the front of the oven 

are caused by the use of different materials, such as 

glass, plastic and metal.

▯

Shadows on the door panel that look like streaks, are 

caused by reflections made by the oven light.

▯

Enamel is baked on at very high temperatures. This 

can cause some slight color variation. This is normal 

and does not affect operation. The edges of thin trays 

cannot be completely enameled. As a result, these 

edges can be rough. This will not impair the anti-

corrosion protection.

RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK
Moisture entering the appliance can cause an 

electrical shock. Don't use a high-pressure cleaner 

or steam cleaner.

9

RISK OF BURNS
The appliance becomes very hot. Never touch the 

hot inside surfaces of the oven interior or heating 

elements. Always allow the appliance to cool down. 

Keep children away.

Observe the following information to ensure that the 

different surfaces are not damaged by using the wrong 

type of cleaning agent.
Do not use:

▯

any harsh or abrasive cleaning agents,
