2. Choosing the right size wall oven

Pro Tip: Bosch built-in wall ovens fit most existing cutouts for easy replacement.

If you're simply replacing an old wall oven, you'll be more restricted with the size you choose. However, if you're remodeling your kitchen and starting from a blank slate, you have the luxury to select which wall oven size is best for your needs. The most common wall oven sizes are 24” and 30” but be sure to measure your cutout to ensure you purchase an oven that fits.

How to measure your wall oven and ensure it fits your cutout:

You can always download the product spec sheet to confirm the product dimensions and cutout requirements for every wall oven.

First, measure height and width of your cutout and make sure it meets the requirements listed on the product spec sheet. Secondly, confirm the wall oven you are purchasing can fit in the cutout dimensions.

Bosch All in One Wall Oven with rotisserie chicken inside

Types of Cooking Modes. Modes vary by Model.

Air FryUses convection fans to rapidly circulate dry, hot air so you can achieve crispy, delicious results — without the use of added oils in traditional frying. Perfect for everything from sweet potato fries to crispy shrimp and more.

BakeBake is cooking with dry, heated air. Both the upper and lower elements cycle to maintain the oven temperature. The Bake mode can be used to prepare a variety of food items, from pastries to casseroles.

RoastRoast uses both the upper and lower elements to maintain the oven temperature. Roasting uses more intense heat from the upper element than the lower element. This results in more browning of the exterior while the inside remains especially moist. Roast is best suited for large cuts of meat and poultry.

PizzaIn the Pizza mode, heat from the upper and lower elements is circulated throughout the oven by the convection fan. Use the Pizza mode for fresh or frozen pizza.

Dough ProofIn Proof, the appliance uses the upper and lower elements to maintain a low temperature to proof bread or other yeast doughs.

BroilBroil uses intense heat radiated from the upper element. The Broil mode is best suited for cooking thin, tender cuts of meat (1“ or less), poultry and fish. It can also be used to brown breads and casseroles. Always broil with the door closed.

Side by side inside dirty Bosch Range and self-cleaned Bosch Range

Self-cleaning ovenFor easy cleanup, your oven has a self-clean mode.

Convection BakeConvection Bake is similar to Bake. Heat comes from the upper and lower heating elements. The main difference in convection baking is that the heat is circulated throughout the appliance by the convection fan.

4. What is a Convection Oven?

Convection technology simply means there are 2 heating elements and a fan that turns on to evenly circulate the heat around the oven cavity. This not only results in consistently even results, but your food cooks faster too! Convection bake mode cooks about 25% faster (versus standard bake mode). This technology is widely available in wall ovens, but it's important to double check that the wall oven you purchase has Convection since it will make a big difference in everyday cooking for you!

What is Convection Pro (convection multi-rack)?

Our 800 Series and Benchmark Series Bosch wall ovens come with Convection Pro, which is slightly different from regular convection.

Convection Pro has a third heating element (regular convection only has two) and a back fan, for perfect results every time. The heat is evenly circulated throughout the oven and there is no more need to rotate your pans halfway through cooking - a true luxury so you don't have to constantly monitor your food. You can bake three trays of cookies - one tray on each rack -and expect every cookie to come out perfectly even and golden. To use this feature, simply select the "Convection Multi-Rack" button on the control panel.
