Type of heating
What it's used for and how it works
Pizza setting
Cook pizza or food that requires a lot of heat from below.
The bottom heating element and the ring-shaped heating element in the back
wall heat the cooking compartment.
Bottom heating
Final baking or cooking food in a bain marie.
The heat is emitted from below.
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.

Heat-up indicator
The appliance indicates when it is heating up.
The line at the bottom of the display turns red in three
increments, from left to right, as the cooking compart-
ment heats up. When the appliance is in operation, one
of the red sections of the line goes out during the heat-
ing phases.
When you preheat the appliance, the optimal time to
place your food in the cooking compartment is as soon
as all three sections of the line have turned red.
Note:
Due to thermal inertia, the temperature that is
displayed may differ slightly from the actual temperat-
ure inside the cooking compartment.
Gas hob selector
The gas hotplate selector is used to set the heat set-
ting for the hotplates.
