To make sure you always use the right type of heating to cook your food. we have explained the differences and applications below.

Note: Not all heating functions and other functions are available for both ovens. To find out which ones are available. see the symbols on the controls.

Type of heating		Use
	Main oven
	CircoTherm	For baking and cooking on one or more levels. The fan distributes the heat from the ring-shaped heating element in the back wall evenly around the cooking compartment
	CircoTherm gentle	For gently cooking selected types of food on one level without preheating. The fan distributes the heat from the ring-shaped heating element in the back panel around the cooking compartment. This heating function is used to measure both the energy consumption in air recirculation mode and the energy efficiency class.
	Pizza setting	For cooking pizza and dishes that require a lot of heat from underneath. The bottom heating element and the ring heating element in the back panel heat up.
	Grill, large area	For grilling flat items, such as steaks or sausages, for making toast, and for au gratin dishes. The whole area below the grill element becomes hot.
	Circo-roasting	For roasting poultry, whole fish and larger pieces of meat. The grill heating element and the fan switch on and off alternately. The fan circulates the hot air around the food.
	Top/bottom heating	For traditional baking and roasting on one level. Especially suitable for cakes with moist toppings. Heat is emitted evenly from above and below. This type of heating is used to measure the energy consumption in the conventional mode.
	Top oven
	Top/bottom heating	For baking on one level. Heat is emitted evenly from above and below. This type of heating is used to measure the energy consumption in the conventional mode.
	Bottom heating	For cooking in a bain marie and for baking food for extra time. Heat is emitted from below.
	Centre-area grill	For grilling small amounts of steak or sausages, for making toast, and for browning food. The centre area under the grill heating element becomes hot.
