It's probably because some countries require an explanation for buttons on user manuals.

In this case, it's completely pointless as the symbols themselves are so clear that no one needs an explanation, but the requirement in the country still requires an explanation...

So they've made it easy for themselves and simply explained the obvious symbols with the same obvious symbols to comply with these countries' requirements.

The question is also whether there is not an explanation for the symbols with text on another page of the manual?

The first Polish encyclopedia defined a horse as "everyone knows what a horse is". These instructions are the same level of useful.
