Cooling ventilation
In order to cool down the external temperature of the oven, a cooling fan blows a stream of air between the control panel and the oven door. At the beginning of the AUTOMATIC CLEANING cycle, the cooling fan operates at low speed.
Once cooking has been completed, the cooling fan continues to operate until the oven has cooled down sufficiently.
Oven light
