Your Touch Control 

The Touch Control 

 allows you to set the oven

controls electronically with the touch of a finger.  It’s

(See pages 12 and 13.)

 LIGHT. Touch desired pad to illuminate counter or

to turn on night light.

AUTOMATIC FAN 

Cooking appliances installed under the oven may,
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 a low speed if
excessive temperatures occur. Should this happen, the fan
can not 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 after the range
and microwave oven controls have been turned off.
