Symbol Description of Function
Oven Lamp: This enables the user to observe the progress of cooking without opening
the door. The oven lamp will light for all cooking functions (except the ECO function).
Defrost: The circulation of air at room temperature enables quicker thawing of frozen food,
(without the use of any heat). It is a gentle but quick way to speed up the defrosting time and
thawing of ready-made dishes and cream filled produce etc.

browning the bottom side of the food. Suitable for slow cooking meals or for warming up meals.
The temperature can be set within the range of 60-120 °C. The default temperature is 60 °C.

within the range of 50-240 °C. The default temperature is 180 °C.
Double Grilling: The inner heating element and the top heating element are working.
The temperature can be set within the range of 180-240 °C. The default temperature is 210 °C.
