Possible additional functions
Grill, large area
Grill settings:
1 = low
2 = medium
3 = high
Grill flat items such as steak and sausages, or make toast. Grat-
inate food.
The entire area below the grill element becomes hot.
Grill, small area
Grill settings:
1 = low
2 = medium
3 = high
Grill small quantities, such as steak, sausages or toast. Gratinate
small quantities of food.
The central area below the grill element becomes hot.
Hot air gentle
30 - 275 °C
Cook selected dishes gently on one level without preheating.
The fan distributes the heat from the ring-shaped heating element
in the back wall evenly around the cooking compartment. The
food is cooked in phases using residual heat.
This type of heating is most effective between 125 and 250 °C.
Always keep the appliance door closed when cooking.
This type of heating is used to determine the energy consump-
tion in air recirculation mode and the energy efficiency class.
Circulated air grilling
30 - 300 °C
Roast poultry, whole fish or larger pieces of meat.
The grill element and the fan switch on and off alternately. The
fan circulates the hot air around the food.
Pizza setting
30 - 275 °C
Cook pizza or food that requires a lot of heat from below.
The bottom heating element and the ring-shaped heating ele-
ment in the back wall heat the cooking compartment.
Slow cooking
70 - 120 °C
Slowly and gently cook seared, tender pieces of meat in un-
covered cookware.
The heat is emitted evenly from above and below at a low tem-
perature.
Preheating cookware 30 - 90 °C
Preheat cookware.
Keeping warm
50 - 100 °C
Keep cooked food warm.
5.2 Temperature
With most types of heating, you can read the current
temperature in the cooking compartment and the set
temperature side-by-side on the display during heating,
e.g. 120 °C / 210 °C.
When you are preheating the appliance, the optimal
time to place the food in the cooking compartment is
as soon as the displayed temperature in the cooking
compartment and the set temperature are the same.
Note:
Due to thermal inertia, the temperature that is
displayed may differ slightly from the actual temperat-
ure inside the cooking compartment.
Residual heat indicator
When the appliance is switched off, the display uses
the symbol to show the residual heat in the cooking
compartment. The further the temperature drops, the
less the symbol is visible. The symbol goes out entirely
at approx. 60 °C.
5.3 Microwave output settings
This is where you can find an overview of the different microwave output settings and when to use them.
The microwave output settings are levels and do not always correspond to the exact wattage that the appliance uses.

Note:
The maximum microwave output setting "Boost"
is not designed for heating food. To protect the appli-
ance, the microwave output is gradually reduced to
600 watts during the first few minutes. Maximum output
is made available again after a cooling period.
