Vent Fan
The vent (exhaust) fan has 2 speeds: high and low.
To protect the microwave oven, if the temperature from the range
or cooktop below the microwave oven gets too hot, the vent fan
will automatically turn on at high speed. It may stay on for up to
1 hour to cool the microwave oven. When this occurs, the vent
fan cannot be turned off. If the vent fan pad is touched during
automatic fan operation, “AUTO FAN IS ON, FAN SPEED WILL
REMAIN ON UNTIL HEAT IS NO LONGER SENSED” will scroll in
the display as a reminder.
The vent fan is also the cooling fan, and will start at low speed
when any cooking function begins. It will remain on until the
cooking function ends.
To Turn Vent Fan On/Off: Touch VENT FAN pad once for high,
twice for low or 3 times for off.
Cooktop Light
The cooktop light has 3 settings: high, low and off.
To Turn Light On/Off: Touch LIGHT pad once for high, twice for
low or 3 times for off.
