Your Touch Control 

The touch control panel allows you to set the oven
controls electronically with the touch of a finger. It’s

designed to be easy to use and understand. With your

automatic cooking control pads for quick and easy
convenience cooking. Or you may make your own
programs to suit your individualized cooking style.

AUTOMATIC FAN 

Cooking appliances installed under the oven might,
under some heavy usage conditions, cause temperatures
high enough to overheat some internal parts of the
microwave oven.

To prevent overheating from taking place, the exhaust
fan is designed to automatically turn on at low speed if
excessive temperatures occur. Should this happen,
the fan cannot be manually turned off, but it will
automatically turn off when the internal parts have
cooled. The fan may stay on up to approximately 30
minutes 

 the range and microwave oven controls

have been turned off.
