Dual-Level Exhaust Vent System
Your Range/Microwave Combination has a dual-level exhaust vent system for
removal of steam, grease and cooking odors. You may use the lower vent alone
or add the top vent for maximum venting.
The lower vents are located above the cooktop (underneath the microwave
oven]. The top vent is located above the microwave oven (behind the vent
cover).
To use only the lower vent: To use both vents:
l Push the Exhaust switch down to the
right for HIGH fan speed.
l Push the switch down to the left for
LOW fan speed.
l Center the switch to turn the vent
system OFF.
l Raise the vent cover above the
microwave oven.
l Turn on desired fan speed by
following the directions.
Note: Ifthe temperature gets too hot around the microwave oven when it
is in use, the exhaust fan will automatically turn on or change to the
HIGH setting to protect the oven. Ifthis occurs it can not be turned off wtth
the EXHAUST switch. It will stay on until the area cools down or until the
microwave oven shuts off.
