Types of heating

8
Different types of heating modes are available for
the oven, enabling you to select the best method for
cooking.
Defrosting
A fan in the rear wall of the oven circulates the air in
the oven around the frozen food. Frozen meat pieces,
poultry, bread and cakes defrost quickly and evenly.
Top and bottom heat
This ensures the even distribution of heat onto the
cake or roast from the top and bottom of the oven.
This type of heating is ideal for baking bread, biscuits
and cheese cake on one level. Top and bottom
heating is also suitable for cooking lean roasts of
beef, veal and game in an open or closed roasting
pan.
Hot air
A fan in the rear wall of the oven evenly distributes the
heat from the top and bottom of the oven. Using the
hot air heating system, it is possible to bake on two
levels at the same time. This type of heating will also
provide optimum results when baking sponge cakes
in cake tins or cream puffs.
Select an oven temperature that is 20 to 30 °C lower
than that for top and bottom heat.
The hot air heating system is also suitable for
defrosting, sterilising and drying.
Radiant grilling
The entire surface under the grill heating element
becomes hot. This is ideal if you wish to cook several
steaks, sausages, pieces of fish or slices of toast.
