5.1 Types of heating
To ensure that you always find the right type of heating
to cook your food, we explain the differences and ap-
plications below.
The symbols for each type of heating help you to re-
member them.
When you select a type of heating, the appliance sug-
gests a suitable temperature or setting. You can use
these values or change them within the specified
range.
For temperature settings above 275 °C and grill set-
ting 3, the appliance reduces the temperature to ap-
prox. 275 °C or grill setting 1 after approx. 40 minutes.
