too hot. It may stay on for up to 1 hour to cool the oven. When 
this occurs, the Vent Fan pad will not function.

touched, the screen returns to the previous display.

connected to the oven, the fan will start at high speed. The 
next time the vent fan is turned on, it will start at the last 
speed used.

then touch “+” or “-” on the display screen to select fan speed.

section.

turn light on. Touch “+” or “-” on the display screen to set desired
