4 Operating modes
4.3
Top/bottom heat eco
Temperature range
Recommended value
Level
This operating mode is particularly energy-efficient. The cooking space is heated by the
top and bottom heating elements. Any moisture that escapes from the food is retained in
the cooking space, so the food dries out less.
Uses
▪ Roasts, gratins, savouries and biscuits
When baking using this operating mode, do not preheat. This lowers the energy
consumption. The cooking time can be longer than with top/bottom heat.
Use a dark enamelled tray or a black tray or tin for crispy results.
