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.
