Bosch HQA574BB3B Series 4 Built-In Electric Single Oven with Pyrolytic Cleaning, Black, A+ Rated

Experience perfect cooking results with the Bosch HQA574BB3B Series 4 built in single oven, with Added Steam technology, 3D HotAir cooking technology and pyrolytic self-cleaning. The HQA574BB3B has a 71 litre capacity and features 10 automatic programmes to chose from.

With Hotair Steam, heat and humidity are distributed equally in the oven interior. So food turns out crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. By adding steam when making dishes like bread, your food comes out even better and more tasty. Steam prevents drying out of food, provides a deliciously crispy crust and keeps the bread fluffy from the inside. Simply fill the requested amount of water in the removable and dishwasher-suitable little water bowl which is integrated in the oven bottom and set the heating mode “hotair steam”.

Cleaning the oven by hand can be both exhausting and time-consuming. This pyrolytic self-cleaning oven lets you say goodbye to this unpopular chore once and for all. Just select the feature, press “Start” and, depending on the degree of soiling, your oven heats up to 480°C, burning away grease or food residue, without the need for chemicals. Once the oven has cooled down, simply wipe out the bit of ash and you’re done. If you're oven is just a little dirty and you want to clean it quickly, you can use the hydrolytic function, which utilises steam vapours to help keep your oven spotless. Just place approximately 400ml of water and a drop of washing-up liquid in the base pan and then set the appropriate heating mode (bottom heat), temperature (80°C) and duration (4 minutes). The environmentally friendly cleaning system softens baked-on residues so you can just wipe it down, for fast and uncomplicated oven cleaning.

The 3D Hotair fan distributes heat quickly and evenly throughout the interior, so you can bake a batch of goodies, like cookies, on up to three levels simulaneously. You can also cook two dishes at the same time, in one oven – so you can bake lasagne for tonight and muffins for tomorrow in one go, without mixing flavours.

The AutoPilot 10 programmes allow you to cook your meal to perfection. Set one of 10 automatic cooking programmes in the display menu, add the weight of the dish and press “Start”. AutoPilot then takes over and determines the cooking mode, temperature and cooking duration. It even switches off the programme towards the end of the cooking time. As some dishes with the AutoPilot require the use of ovenware with a lid, the interior walls also stay clean. Cooking couldn’t be simpler.

The Bosch HQA574BB3B oven reaches Energy Efficiency Class A+, meaning it will consume less energy while cooking and baking for the lifetime of the appliance. Optimised air flow, improved oven materials and better insulation capabilities ensure considerable reductions in energy consumption.
