Vent Fan

Various speeds, ranging from high to low, and off. Comes on 
automatically as cooling fan during any cook function.

30 Minute Fan Timer: Set vent fan to run for exactly 30 minutes, or to 
run for only 30 minutes more (off after 30 minutes). The vent fan may 
be turned off at any time using the Vent Fan control. Touch OPTIONS/
CLOCK to reach the 30 Minute Fan Timer submenu, and select the 
setting.

Auto Vent Fan (on some models): To keep the microwave oven from 
overheating, the auto vent fan will automatically turn on at high speed if 
the temperature from the range or cooktop below the microwave oven 
gets too hot. When this occurs, the vent fan cannot be turned off. “FAN 
ON for heat circulation” appears in the display.

Dynamic Fan Sensing (on some models): To keep the microwave 
oven from overheating, the auto vent fan will automatically turn on at 
various speeds, depending on the temperature from the range or 
cooktop below the microwave oven. When this occurs, the vent fan 
cannot be turned off. “AUTO ADAPT FAN for heat circulation” appears 
in the display. As the temperature cools, the fan will automatically 
decrease its speed, then turn off.

OPTIONS/CLOCK to reach the Light Timer submenu, and follow the 
prompts to set the light on time and light off time in hours and minutes,

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Do not remove ground prong.

Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, 
fire, or electrical shock.

WARNING

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

■  

For all cord connected appliances:
The microwave oven must be grounded. In the event of 
an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of 
electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric 
current. The microwave oven is equipped with a cord 
having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug 
must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed 
and grounded.

WARNING: 

Improper use of the grounding plug can 

result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified 
electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are 
not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether 
the microwave oven is properly grounded. 

Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is 
too short, have a qualified electrician or serviceman install 
an outlet near the microwave oven.

This device complies with Part 18 of the FCC Rules.
