Cooking appliances installed under the oven might, under someheavy usage cond~?ions,cwse temperatures high enough to overheat some internal parts ofthe microwaveoven.

To prevent overheating from taking place, the vent fan is designed to automaticallyturn on at low speed

if excessivetemperaturesoccur. Shouldthis happen, thefancannot be manuallyturned off, but it wil{auto= maticallyturn off when the temperature is reduced, Thefan may stay on up to approximately3(I minutes after the range and microwave oven controls have beenturned off.
