About the AUTO-ON Safety Feature
To protect the electronics from heat damage, the fan auto-
matically turns ON when the temperature exceeds 140°F
(60°C). Fan speed increases with the heat.

If the temperature below the hood stays above 140°F
(60°C), the fan turns on to protect the electronics from
scorching. Once the temperature drops below 130°F
(54°C), the fan automatically shuts off.
