Type of heating
What it's used for and how it works
Hot air gentle
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 us-
ing residual heat.
Select a temperature between 120 °C and 230 °C.
Always keep the appliance door closed when cooking.
This type of heating is used to determine the energy consumption in air recircu-
lation mode and the energy efficiency class.
Full-surface grill
Grill flat items such as steak, sausages, or toast. Gratinate food.
The entire area below the grill element becomes hot.
Hot air grilling
Roast poultry, whole fish or large pieces of meat.
The grill element and the fan switch on and off alternately. The fan circulates the
hot air around the food.
Top/bottom heating
Traditionally bake or roast on one level. This type of heating is especially suit-
able for cakes with moist toppings.
The heat is emitted evenly from above and below.
This type of heating is used to determine the energy consumption in the conven-
tional mode.
Defrosting
Gently defrost frozen food.

When you preheat the appliance, the optimal time to
place your food in the cooking compartment is when
the symbol first goes out.

displayed may differ slightly from the actual temperat-
ure inside the cooking compartment.
