Cooking compartment functions

Some functions make your appliance easier to use.
This, for example, enables the cooking compartment to
be well lit and a cooling fan to prevent the appliance
from overheating.

If you open the appliance door during an operation, the
operation is paused. Operation continues to run when
you close the door.
