Automatic Fan

You may lock the control
panel to prevent the
microwave from being
accidentally started or
used by children.
For best cooking results,
leave the turntable on.
It can be turned off for
large dishes. Press
TURNTABLE to turn
the turntable on or off.
The vent fan removes
steam and other vapors
from surface cooking.
An automatic fan feature
protects the microwave
from too much heat rising
from the cooktop below it.
It automatically turns on at
low speed if it senses too
much heat.
To lock or unlock the
controls, press and hold
CLEAR/OFF for about
three seconds. When the
control panel is locked,
an "L" will be displayed to
the extreme right.
Sometimes the turntable
can become too hot to
touch. Be careful touching
the turntable during and
after cooking.
Press VENT FAN once for
high fan speed, twice for
low fan speed or a third
time to turn the fan off.
If you have turned the fan
on you may find that you
cannot turn it off. The fan
will automatically turn off
when the internal parts are
cool. It may stay on for
30 minutes or more after
the cooktop and microwave
controls are turned off.
