FM FEATURE
Cooking appliances installed under the oven might,
under some heavy usage cond~?ions,cwse temperatures high enough to overheat some internal parts
of the microwaveoven.
To prevent overheating from taking place, the vent
fan is designed to automatically turn on at low speed
if excessivetemperaturesoccur. Should this happen,
the fan cannot be manuallyturned off, but it wil{ auto=
matically turn off when the temperature is reduced,
The fan may stay on up to approximately3(I minutes
after the range and microwave oven controls have
beenturned off.

test of doneness.
Roasts or poultry are cooked to your preference
when temperature cooking. Heating or reheating
foods accurately to a serving temperature you
desire is simple and easy.
