Bosch Series 2 Built-In Single Oven

A 66 litre built-in single oven with 3D Hotair across five shelf positions, an A energy rating and a fitted plug rather than a hardwired connection.

At a Glance

• Oven capacity: 66 L
• Energy rating: A
• Bake on three levels: 3D Hotair
• Shelf positions: 5

The Series 2 HHF113BR0B is a straightforward 60 cm built-in oven that does the important things well. Sixty-six litres of capacity, five shelf positions and four functions built around 3D Hotair and the grill, controlled by rotary dials with steel trim and a red LED display. For a kitchen that wants a good oven rather than a menu system, that is the right amount of appliance.

3D Hotair is the reason the capacity works. Circulated heat lets three shelf levels be used at once, so a full tray dinner or a batch of baking does not have to be split into rounds. Alongside it sit Hotair grilling, Hotair gentle and a full-width variable grill, with a temperature range from 50°C to 275°C.

Four functions, five shelf positions and an A rating: this is an oven that spends its budget on cooking rather than on a screen.

Ideal For

• First kitchens: It arrives with a GB plug on a 110 cm cord and a 2.4 kW connection rating, so fitting it does not automatically mean booking an electrician for new wiring.
• Simple cooking: Rotary dials, a red LED clock timer and four clear functions. Nothing to learn and nothing to navigate, which many cooks actively prefer in a daily oven.
• Batch baking: 3D Hotair uses three levels at once across five shelf positions, and an insert grid, combination grid and universal pan are supplied to fill them.

Key Features

• 66 L oven capacity: A generous single cavity for a 60 cm housing, with five shelf positions and a temperature range running from 50°C up to 275°C.
• 3D Hotair on three levels: Heat is circulated so three shelves can be used at the same time, which turns a single cavity into something that copes with a full meal.
• A energy rating: Rated A, using 0.79 kWh per fan-forced convection cycle, with a modest 2.4 kW connection rating for an oven of this size.
• Full-width variable grill: The grill runs the full width of the cavity with a variable setting, so browning is even rather than concentrated in the middle of the shelf.
• GB plug fitted: It comes with a GB plug on a 110 cm cord, so no hardwiring is involved provided there is a socket within reach of the housing unit.
• Red LED clock timer: The display carries an electronic clock timer with automatic start, so a dish can be set to begin without anyone standing over the dials.

• What 66 litres gives you: A single cavity of 66 litres with five shelf positions is a practical size for most households. With 3D Hotair circulating heat, three of those levels can be used at once, so a roast, a tray of vegetables and something on the shelf below can share the oven. An insert grid, a combination grid and a universal pan come with it, which covers most of what you will want to put in on a normal week.
• Four functions, chosen carefully: The function list is short: 3D Hotair, Hotair grilling, Hotair gentle and a full-width variable grill, over a 50°C to 275°C range. That covers baking on multiple levels, roasting, gentler cooking and browning, without a menu to work through. Controls are rotary dials with steel trim and a red LED display carrying an electronic clock timer and automatic start. A control panel lock and integral cooling fan handle the safety side.
• Fitting, running and cleaning: Installation is into a niche of 575 to 597 mm high, 560 to 568 mm wide and 550 mm deep, with the oven itself measuring 59.5 x 59.4 x 54.8 cm and weighing 31.8 kg. It arrives with a GB plug on a 110 cm cord and a 2.4 kW connection rating. Energy is rated A at 0.79 kWh per fan-forced convection cycle. Cleaning relies on a full glass inner door that wipes down easily, and a halogen interior light shows what is happening without opening the door.

How It Compares

Specifications

The Verdict

Strengths

• 66 litre cavity with five shelf positions
• 3D Hotair allows baking on three levels at once
• A energy rating at 0.79 kWh per cycle
• Full-width variable grill for even browning
• Supplied with a GB plug and 110 cm cord
• Red LED clock timer with automatic start
• Insert grid, combination grid and universal pan included

Considerations

• The function list runs to four, and cleaning relies on a full glass inner door rather than a self-cleaning programme.
• It is a single 66 litre cavity, so baking and grilling share one space and two dishes cannot run at different temperatures.
• The 2.4 kW connection uses a GB plug on a 110 cm cord, so a socket must sit within reach of the housing unit.
