  5. Install the oven door. → Page 16
  6. Check proper installation.
    – The cooktop should rest lightly on the countertop.
    – There should not be any gap between the countertop and the cooktop; however, the weight of the range must not rest on the countertop.
    – Look under the range to verify that both back legs are resting solidly on the floor.
    – Also verify that the left range leg is retained by the anti-tip bracket.

Avoid obstructing air flow

⚠️WARNING
To avoid risk of fire, do not obstruct the vent space at the rear of the range top. Do not caulk or otherwise seal this opening.

Proper vent spacing for the dual fuel or gas ranges is automatically achieved when the rear of the range is against the wall. If the resulting gap is obstructed, even temporarily, the range and/or the surrounding cabinetry could overheat, creating a fire hazard.Bosch HGI8056UC 800 Series Gas Slide-in Range 30'' Stainless Steel User Manual - Proper vent spacing for the dual fuel or gas ranges is automatically achieved when the rear of the range is against the wall

Reinstalling the oven door

  1. Hold the door firmly in both hands. Grip it on either side, not by the handle.
  2. Tilt the door back slightly towards you at an angle that would open the door about 7″ (18 cm) at the top.
  3. Slide the hinges (a) into the slots (b) as far as they will go (1) and lower the door straight down (2).Bosch HGI8056UC 800 Series Gas Slide-in Range 30'' Stainless Steel User Manual - Slide the hinges (a) into the slots (b) as far as they will go (1) and lower the door straight down (2).The angle of the door may need to be adjusted slightly to allow the hinges to engage properly and the door to be lowered into place. The door should lower about 3/4″ (2 cm) and stop. If it does not, the hinges have not engaged properly and the door could fall if it is released.
  4. Once both hinges are fully engaged, gently open the door until it is fully open.
  5. Push the levers on both the hinges up and forward until they are locked into the slot and flush with the front of the oven body.Bosch HGI8056UC 800 Series Gas Slide-in Range 30'' Stainless Steel User Manual - Push the levers on both the hinges up and forward until they are locked into the slot and flush with the front of the oven body.

Reinstalling the warming drawer to the drawer housing

Requirement: The slides mounted to each side of the housing wall have two moving components, an inner rail and a ball bearing carrier which need to be in the proper orientation for accurate installation and alignment. There is also a visible locking mechanism located at the rear of each slide.

1. Slide the inner rail to the locked position by pushing it toward the rear of the housing until it locks in place.Bosch HGI8056UC 800 Series Gas Slide-in Range 30'' Stainless Steel User Manual - 1. Slide the inner rail to the locked position by pushing it toward the rear of the housing until it locks in place.

Note: A moderate force pushing on the black plastic ball carrier locking mechanism is required to activate the lock. When the drawer is installed, the locking mechanism prevents the drawer from springing back to the open position.

2. Position the warming drawer in front of the drawer housing. Align the rail with the plastic rail tip to the ball carrier slide.Bosch HGI8056UC 800 Series Gas Slide-in Range 30'' Stainless Steel User Manual - Position the warming drawer in front of the drawer housing.

    ‒ Verify that the flame is the right color.
    → “Flame characteristics”, Page 18
    ‒ If the flame goes out, does not carry over properly or is too large, contact Customer Service.
  3. Test all rangetop burners for flame characteristics on the highest setting.
    ‒ Push down the knob and turn it counter-clockwise to the ignition symbol . Keep it pushed down until the burner ignites.

    ‒ Verify that the flame is steady. The flame should not go out, lift or blow off of the burner. It should carry over, or surround the entire burner.
    ‒ Verify that the flame is the right color.
    → “Flame characteristics”, Page 18
    ‒ If the flame burns yellow or does not carry over properly, contact Customer Service.

Flame characteristics
