The microwave oven’s hood controls, on the lower, left side of the microwave oven (see “Parts and Features”) operate the vent fan and cooktop lights.

TRUCAPTURE® Vent Fan

The vent fan has 3 regular speeds: high, medium and low. The vent fan also has a max speed, which is the highest speed.

To protect the microwave oven, the vent fan will automatically turn on at high speed if the temperature from the cooking surface below gets too hot. It may stay on for up to 1 hour to cool the microwave oven. When this occurs, the vent fan cannot be turned off. After the microwave oven has cooled, the vent fan will automatically turn off.

NOTE: For optimal TRUCAPTURE® vent system performance, turn on the vent fan before using the cooking surface below. This will maximize steam capture.
