wall evenly around the cooking compartment. The food is cooked in phases us-
ing residual heat.
Select a temperature of 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 and sausages, or make toast. Gratinate food.
The entire area underneath the grill element becomes hot.
Top/bottom heating
Traditionally bake or roast on one level. This type of heating is ideal for cakes
with moist toppings.
