what do these oven symbols mean and which do i use?

I'm kinda confused as to what these oven symbols mean and which one do I select to oven food like premade frozen chicken nuggets, chicken goujons, pizza or things like fish and chips?

I agree, but rather strange that you will be turning off the oven if you need to use the light. Every oven I have had has a light switch separate from the heat controls.

My guess for the 12 o’clock symbol is OFF.

And/or if you see the oven brand name, you can look up its manual.
Roughly, from 2 o'clock position:
Light, heat from bottom element only, heat from bottom & top elements at same time, grill (or top down) heat only; don't know 12 o'clock one.
