Function Description

The Bosch HBA13B1.0B is a built-in oven designed for domestic use, primarily for the preparation of food and drink. It features various heating types, time-setting options, and safety features.

Heating Types:

Top/bottom heating: This is a conventional heating method where heat comes from both the top and bottom elements. It is suitable for baking and roasting.
3D hot air: This function uses a fan to distribute heat evenly throughout the cooking compartment, making it ideal for baking on multiple levels and for dishes requiring even browning.
Circulated air grilling: This combines the grill element with the fan, suitable for grilling larger pieces of meat and poultry.
Grill, large area: This uses the full surface of the grill element for grilling.
Defrost: This setting uses the fan without heat to gently defrost frozen food.
Oven light: Illuminates the cooking compartment for better visibility during cooking.

Time-Setting Options: The oven offers several time-setting functions:

Timer: Functions as a kitchen timer, independent of oven operation, with its own signal.
Cooking time: Allows setting a specific duration for cooking, after which the oven automatically switches off.
End time: Enables setting a desired time for a dish to be ready. The oven calculates the start time and begins cooking automatically to finish at the set end time.
Clock: Displays the current time.

Safety Features:

Childproof lock: Prevents children from accidentally switching on the oven or changing settings.
Automatic switch-off: The oven switches off automatically after the set cooking time has elapsed.
