Features:

Metal knobs for stylish control
Ovens feature heavy duty metal knobs for temperature changes and cooking modes.

Flexible cooking with two types of ovens
A combination wall oven is the most versatile cooking option for those who want to customize their oven suite. The lower oven is a standard wall oven, while the upper oven option is up to you. Depending on your cooking habits and lifestyle, you can choose from an upper steam oven, speed oven, or microwave.

Convection Multi-Rack (Convection Pro) for even baking on all racks
Convection Multi-Rack has a third heating element and a fan (regular Convection only has two heating elements) evenly circulates air around the cavity so you get consistently even golden results.

Self-Clean Mode for convenience
With all the cooking you'll do in a Bosch oven, clean-up should be your last worry. Our wall ovens have a 2, 3 or 4 hour self-clean cycle, for the ultimate convenience.

Fully flush installation
All Bosch wall ovens install completely flush with your cabinetry, so they blend in beautifully and never protrude.

Pizza Mode with intense heat
Pizza mode mimics the intense heat of a pizza oven to deliver artisanal pies in your kitchen. Heat from the upper and lower elements is circulated throughout the oven by the convection fan.

Grill inside with the Broil mode
Broil mode uses intense heat radiated from the upper element and delivers the perfect char, sear, and grill without the mess. It is perfect for meats and bubbling crusts on casseroles.
