The HGS8657UC is an 800 Series 36 inch gas range with six burners at 94,000 BTU and a 3.4 cubic foot oven. On a range of this size, the single most useful maintenance habit is to check that the oven vent – which on a Bosch gas range exhausts through the back of the cooktop area – is clear. A vent partly blocked by a pan lid or by spill residue makes the oven run hot at the top and cool at the bottom, and owners blame the thermostat.
