The table below provides an overview showing which cooking functions (ACS+ extra functions) are
available for which operating modes.
“Yes” means that a cooking function is available for the corresponding operating mode.

Settings
The settings in easyDial can be used to set a date and time, select a temperature unit, and adjust the
acoustic signal’s volume.
The import and export functions can be used, for example, to import and export cookbooks and run
software updates.
