What To Do/Explanation
• This is normal. The oven senses the
heat level and adjusts automatically.
• When the oven is on, light may
be visible around the door and
outer case.
• The fan will automatically shut off
when the internal parts of the oven
have cooled.
• If the cooktop gets too hot, the vent
fan comes on.
• If the microwave is used after
speedcook and the oven senses
that it is too hot, the vent fan comes
on to cool the oven.
• These sounds are normal.
• Smoke is normal when cooking high-
fat foods. Use vegetable oil or olive
oil on the meat itself instead of
coating the entire pan.
• Increase or decrease time for
doneness or adjust the upper or
lower lamps for browning.
