What do these symbols on my oven dial mean?

August 24, 2015 6:53 PM

We recently moved into a house with an oven that has a couple of symbols on the dial that I can't identify. The oven is a Baumatic BA700SS, but it's old enough that all the links to manuals online seem to be broken. Can anyone tell me what the functions at the bottom of the dial and directly left of that one are? Also the first symbol anticlockwise from the top seems to have rubbed off. Any guesses what that would have been?

The fan in the circle, I suspect, means convection is on for that setting.

The horizontal bars, I suspect, indicate which heating element (upper or lower) is on for that particular setting.

What is the make and model number of the stove?

Best answer: Bottom one is rotisserie with top grill. The one to the left is rotisserie with top grill and fan.

I agree with the rotisserie suggestion (nifty). The first symbol anticlockwise seems to be defrost, looking at their their website.

Response by poster: Oh cool. Rotisserie didn't even occur to me. I guess I'd need some sort of accessory to use it, but it's good to know! Thanks!

Best answer: This link seems to work for me. Not the exact model you posted, but pretty close.
