The dish is heated by the radiation heat of
the upper and lower elements. Always place

Hot air
The air in the oven is heated by the hot air
element. The fan in the back of the oven
blows hot air into the oven. This is used to
heat the dishes.
Grill
The dishes are heated by the radiation heat
of the combined grillelement. Flat pieces of
meat, chicken or other poultry may be grilled
directly on the grid shelf. This grill setting is
also suitable for toasting bread.
Bottom heat
Only the heating element at the bottom
of the oven radiates heat. This method is
especially useful for baking low pastries and
for preserving fruit and vegetables. Use the
lowest oven shelf support and not-too-high
baking tins, so that the warm air can also
circulate over the top of the dish.
Upper heat
Only the uppermost heating element comes
on with this heating method. This method is
suitable for cooking meat and pastries, except
for pastries with a fruit filling. Information on
pre-heating, the level choice and the baking/
cooking time are given in the conventional
heating method table on p. 18.
Ventilation + grill
Turn the oven function knob on setting
grilling with ventilation. The ventilator ensures
you that the heat is distributed evenly.
