It may turn onand off during use to show that the setting isbeing maintained. If the neon does notoperate as the instructions indicate thecontrols have been incorrectly set. Returnall controls to zero and reset following theinstructions for the required setting.The cooling fan for thecontrolsThe cooling fan comes on immediately whenthe grill or second oven is switched on andafter a short time when the main oven is inuse. It runs on after the controls areswitched off until the appliance has cooled.During the initial period the cooling fan mayturn on and off, this is quite normal.Always allow the cooling fan tocool the appliance down beforeswitching off at the wall prior tocarrying out any cleaning ormaintenance work.Condensation and steamWhen food is heated it produces steamsimilar to a boiling kettle. The vents allowsome of this steam to escape.However, always stand back from theappliance when opening the door(s) to allowany build up of steam or heat to release.If the steam comes into contact with a coolsurface on the outside of the appliance, e.g.a trim, it will condense and produce waterdroplets.
