1. Flow-directing element for a heating apparatus having a body which comprises a laterally arranged inflow region on an underside of the flow-directing element, having a centrally arranged outflow region, which comprises a through-passage from an underside of the flow-directing element to an upper side of the flow-directing element, the upper side being located opposite the underside, and having at least one guide element which is arranged such that it allows flow to be guided from the inflow region to the outflow region, wherein the inflow region is designed as a bulge arranged in a portion of a circumferential outer border of the flow directing element, the bulge curving upward on the upper side of the outer border of the flow directing element and being open on an underside, wherein the bulge is configured to provide a conduit to direct a lateral flow of air received at the bulge toward the at least one guide element.
