The cooling fan runs during all cooking modes. The fan
can be heard when it is running, and warm air may be
felt as it is released from the oven vent. The fan may also
run after the oven is off.
Oven Vent
The oven vent is located at the top of the unit. Warm air
may be released from the vent before, during and after
cooking. It is normal to see steam escaping from the
vent, and condensation may collect in this area. This
area may be warm when the oven is in use. Do not block
the vent, since it is important for air circulation.
