Symbol 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 using residual heat. Always keep the appliance
door closed when cooking. If you open the appliance door even briefly, the ap-
pliance will continue to heat without utilising any residual heat.
Select a temperature between 120°C and 230°C.
This type of heating is used to determine the energy consumption in air recircu-
lation mode and the energy efficiency class.
Pizza setting Cook pizza or food that requires a lot of heat from below.
The bottom heating element and the ring heating element in the back wall heat
the cooking compartment.
Bottom heating Final baking or cook food in a bain marie.
The heat is emitted from below.

for cakes with moist toppings.
The heat is emitted evenly from above and below.
This type of heating is used to measure the energy consumption in the conven-
tional mode.

Heat-up indicator
The appliance indicates when it is heating up.
When the appliance is heating, the ⁠symbol lights up
on the display. This symbol goes out when heating is
paused.
When you preheat the appliance, the optimal time to
place your food in the cooking compartment is when
the symbol first goes out.
Note:Due to thermal inertia, the temperature displayed
may differ slightly from the actual temperature inside
the cooking compartment.
