There is a red digital read out. When you make an oven selection from the
various combinations of elements and fans on one knob, the read out next to
the other starts at the mid temp setting of 150 and you then turn the knob
to get the desired red number above or below this mid point.

I had noticed the occasional sudden drop back from a high setting to the mid
point during cooking. This seemed to be more likely to occur after the door
had been opened and closed, and was a minor annoyance. Now it happens more
often than not and means I have to stay in the room ready for it to drop
back so that I can turn it up again.

I have not checked with a thermometer (don't have one that good) but do get
the impression that it is taking a long time to reach my 220 deg C bread
cooking temp - even before it starts to reset itself. However, I did let it
do a 'self clean' and it got up to max and stayed there for 2 hr with no
resets, so it isn't the elements.

Thanks for the interest to you both,

Cheers,

S

Anyone out there have an explanation as to why our Bosch fan oven should
keep dropping back to 150 degrees?

It would appear that this is something of a default setting as this is
the
value that it starts at when you select the cooker. Bosch have only
responded to my question by sending me a book the repairman form with no
explanation at all...

Any ideas?

Does it reset during cooking? Have you noticed the display going blank
or any other strange behaviour just before it resets?
