Control Panel: The control panel includes a display for cooking time, power, action indicators, and clock time.

A dedicated button is provided for door opening.

Setting the Clock: In standby mode, turn the function knob to the CLOCK position, use the < and > keys to set the desired time (e.g., 8:30), and press "START | STOP" to confirm.

Delay Start: This function allows programming a cooking program to start at a later time. For example, to start a 5-minute grill program at 10:30 when the current time is 9:00:

Turn the function button to DELAY START.
Use the < and > keys to set the start time to 10:30.
Turn the function button to the GRILL program (counter-clockwise direction).
Use the < or > keys to set the cooking time to 5:00.
Press "START | STOP" to begin. The program will start automatically at the set time.

Child Lock: To prevent unsupervised operation, the child lock can be activated. In standby mode, press and hold "START | STOP" for 3 seconds until a beep sounds and the lock indicator lights up on the display. To cancel, press and hold "START | STOP" for 3 seconds until the lock indicator turns off.

Self-Clean Function: Place a glass of 200ml water in the oven, turn the function button to SELF CLEAN, and press "START | STOP". After 8 minutes, remove the glass and wipe the oven with a dry cloth.

Time Adjustment: During operation, the operating time for functions like microwave or grill can be shortened or extended by pressing the < or > keys before confirmation.

Simplicity Knob Usage: The Simplicity knob is used to select desired functions (cooking, defrost, grill, etc.). Icons on the button represent typical foods for each function, but are applicable to similar food types. The knob can also be turned to the start position "O" to STOP or CANCEL the selected function.

Eco Mode - Power Saving: Press the < and > keys simultaneously to activate Eco mode. The display will turn off, minimizing power usage. To cancel, press any other button or open/close the door.
