The cooling fan can run at two speeds:

1) Full speed

2) Reduced speed The fan speed depends on the temperature of the oven

and/or cooktop. After the oven and/or the cooktop switch off, the

cooling fan may, however, continue to run for a certain time to ensure proper cooling.

Important: An optional kit consisting of an oven door glass and of relevant mounting components, is available by the After-Sales Service. The use of the kit reduces the temperature of the outer oven surface and is strongly recommended if there are kids in the house. Code N°: 4819 310 39186.
