About the Neff ovens. I can see what the dials on the newer one are for, at least I suppose. One for the lower oven, and two for the upper oven, one for the fan and one for the traditional heating method, right?
But the older one, your model so to speak. I can see that the middle dial is for the lower oven. Is the right one for the top fan oven? And what about the dial on the left?
Enquiring minds want to know! lol

Neff Ovens

I believe you are correct about the later oven.
I had the previous model with retractable knobs - purchased in 1985 and used until 2000 (and 16 years after I still regret getting rid of it) and it had fan only in the main oven. The smaller oven/grill was top and bottom heat (together) only - in addition to the removable grill element there was an element which went right round the top of the oven and (I presume) one in the oven floor. To operate the grill you turned the centre knob all the way round as far as it would go to a sort of flame symbol, the left hand knob was to adjust the grill temperature and only worked with the centre knob in the correct position.
This model introduced top/bottom heat in the main cavity as an alternative to fan and each type had full thermostatic control. The with the lower oven/grill you turned the knob all the way round but could then turn it back to control the grill setting - this (rather rambling) explanation might make more sense if you have a look at the single oven of the TOL model in reply 19 - the controls functioned in the same way - here they just did not have the light up display - I always preferred this version of the two for being less gimmicky looking.
I think the LH knob in the older model is to choose top or bottom heat or grill in the smaller oven/grill. I will have to have a closer look at its function when I am home as I have only used this small oven once to warm some plates in the five years or so I have had it. Or buy this one (I have seriously thought about it for when mine gives up) for the instruction manual. I occasionally use the main oven (which is excellent) but mostly I use my separate Neff Combi Micro which I think is the same as yours only built in
