Vent Fan

The vent fan has 4 speeds ranging from Off to High.

To protect the oven, the fan will automatically turn on at high 
speed if the temperature from the range or cooktop below gets 
too hot. It may stay on for up to 1 hour to cool the oven. When 
this occurs, the Fan button will not function.

A few seconds after the last time the Fan button is pressed, 
the screen returns to the previous display.

The first time the vent fan is turned on after power is 
connected to the oven, the fan will start at high speed. The 
next time the vent fan is turned on, it will start at the last 
speed used.

light on. Touch “+” or “-” on the display screen to set desired 
brightness level. Press the Light button twice to turn light off (or
