Vent Fan

The vent (exhaust) fan has 2 speeds: high and low.

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.
