If your BOSCH HRG7764.1B oven is not working, try the following troubleshooting steps:

• **Check the fuse:** Check if the circuit breaker in the fuse box has tripped. Reset it if necessary.

• **Check for a power cut:** Check if the lighting in your room or other appliances are working.

• **Reset the electronics:** If there is an electronics fault, disconnect the appliance from the power supply for at least 30 seconds by switching off the fuse. Then, switch it back on. If the issue persists, you may need to reset the basic settings to the factory settings.

If the appliance door is locked, it could be due to one of two reasons:

• **Cleaning function:** The cleaning function locks the appliance door for safety. The padlock symbol will be lit in the display. You must allow the appliance to cool down completely until the padlock symbol goes out. Then the door can be opened.

• **Childproof lock:** The childproof lock is active. Deactivate the childproof lock using the setting ring as instructed on the display or by pressing and holding the timer button.

If the “Fill water tank” message appears despite the tank being full, check the following:

• **Tank not engaged:** The water tank may not have clicked into place correctly. Remove the tank and re-insert it correctly so that it fully engages in the holder.

• **Incorrect water type:** A malfunction can occur if you use deionised or filtered water. Only use cold, fresh tap water, softened water, or non-carbonated mineral water.

• **Leaking tank:** The water tank may have fallen out or shaking has caused parts to come loose, leading to a leak. You may need to order a new water tank.

• **Sensor defective:** The sensor may be defective. In this case, call customer service.

An error code indicates that the electronics have detected a fault.

1. Switch the appliance off and then on again.

2. If the fault was a one-off, the message should disappear.

3. If the message appears again, call the after-sales service. Please specify the exact error message when calling.

Here are some tips for getting the best results with your BOSCH HRG7764.1B oven:

• **General Cooking:**

• Temperature and cooking time depend on the amount of food and the recipe. Start with the lower values in a given range.

• The setting values apply to food placed in a cold cooking compartment. If you preheat, wait until preheating is finished before placing accessories inside.

• Remove any accessories that are not being used from the cooking compartment.

• **Baking Tips:**

• Dark-coloured metal baking tins are most suitable for cakes and bread.

• Use wide, shallow cookware for bakes and gratins as they cook more evenly.

• Silicone moulds are not suitable.

• When baking on multiple levels with 4D hot air, refer to the shelf position tables in the manual for best results.
