The fan on the Best Cattura Downdraft D49M30SB may continuously cycle between various speeds if the operating temperature is too high. In this case, the fan automatically increases to the highest speed to protect sensitive components. The fan icon will flash and the fan cannot be turned off until the temperature returns to a safe level. Once the temperature is acceptable, the fan returns to the selected speed and the icon stops flashing.
