Oven safety features
System lock for the oven

bei
ng used unintentionally (see "System
lock ").
The system lock will remain activated
even aft
er a power failure.
Safety shut-off
The oven automatically turns itself off if
it is used f
or an exceedingly long
period. The length of time depends on
the oven mode being used.
Cooling fan
The cooling fan comes on automatically
when a co

cooling fan mixes hot air from the oven
cavity with cool room air before venting
it out into the kitchen through vents
located between the appliance door
and the control panel.
The cooling fan will continue to run for
a whil

prevent moisture from building up in the
oven, on the control panel or
surrounding cabinetry.
When the temperature in the oven has
fallen sufficiently, the cooling fan will
tur
n off automatically.

that have a heat-
reflective coating on
part of their surface.
During operation, air is also circulated
thr

The door can be removed and
disassembled for cleaning purposes
(see "Cleanin
g and care").
Safety Door Lock for Self Clean

started. After the self-cleaning program
has finished, the door will remain
locked until the temperature in the oven
