SMEG Oven Symbol Guide

Simply the word “eco” in capital letters

Utilises the grill, fan and bottom element, allowing for the cooking of smaller items of food.

A simple oval shape with small dots, symbolising a pizza or cookie

This function uses all aspects of the oven, creating optimum cooking conditions for pizzas, cookies, quiches and other items.

Two short, arcing lines, one at the top and one at the bottom

Using both the top and bottom elements, this function cooks items which sit in the centre of the oven best. Best suited to roasting meats or baking cakes and bread.

An arced line of dashes at the top

Perfect for quick cooking or browning. Smaller items can be placed higher, while larger items should be placed lower down.

Arcing line at the bottom

Using the lower element, this function is best suited for foods which need more temperature at the base such as pastry and pizzas. This will avoid rapid browning of foods and can be used for slow cooking.

Arcing line at the top

Utilising only the upper element, this function helps with the browning of dishes such as those topped with cheese or potatoes.

Three dashes at the top, forming a short arc

Perfect for the swift browning of dishes, as with the full grill, smaller items should be higher, while large dishes should be placed lower down.

A solid arcing line with a dashed line following the same arc underneath

Food can be cooked extremely quickly using both the top element and the grill.

A fan symbol in a circle, with arced lined at the top and bottom outside the circle

By moving the heat from both elements around with the fan, this function provides penetrating cooking, particularly useful for meats.

Fan symbol with an arc of dashes at the top

Lessening the harsh impact of the grill via the fan, fan assisted grilling is perfect for grilling items slowly with even results.

Fan symbol with half an arc of dashes at the top

Functions similarly to the normal fan assisted grill, but this half grill setting suits smaller food items.

A snowflake symbol with three water droplets beneath

This function means no heat can be produced in the oven even if the thermostat is turned up.

A singular fan symbol

This functions similarly to the snowflake function, but only when the thermostat is at zero.

A single fan symbol with an upper and lower arc

Utilises the fan with combined elements, but preheating the oven is still required.

A single fan inside a circle

Combining the fan with the circular element, this function needs no preheating and can cook multiple foods at the same time without flavour transfer.

A fan inside a circle, with an arc underneath

This function adds the lower element to the circular element, creating an excellent temperature for cooking anything with a base.

A fan symbol with an arc beneath

For electric ovens this function ensures more thorough cooking in the inside of food. For gas ovens it gives and even cook without flavour transferal.

A large, capital letter ‘P’

This function provides cleaning at 500℃ to tackle dirt and build ups.

A through line with a small arc at either end

If you have a rotisserie, this will work with your grill to cook and brown foods.

Through line and small arcs at the ends with three dashes in an arc above

This provides the same function as the normal rotisserie with a half grill setting.

Through line and small arcs at the ends with full arc of dashes above

Allows the rotisserie function to be used with a full grill setting.

Through line and small arcs at the ends with full arc of dashes above and a full arc line on top

Allows the rotisserie function to be used for rapid food cooking.

A fan inside a circle with the word “Eco” above

Works the same as the normal circulaire function but some models will have a more energy efficient function.

Five Water Droplets

Requiring you to spray a small mixture of water and detergent into the oven, the lower element will work with vapour clean to clean the oven.
