THERMOSTAT indicator light
When this is illuminated, the oven is generating heat. It
switches off when the inside of the oven reaches the selected
temperature. At this point the light illuminates and switches
off alternately, indicating that the thermostat is working and
is maintaining the temperature at a constant level.
Cooling ventilation
In order to cool down the external temperature of the oven,
some models are fitted with a cooling fan which blows air
out between the control panel and the oven door.
Once cooking has been completed, the cooling fan remains
on until the oven has cooled down sufficiently. In the BAKING
mode, the cooling fan is only activated when the oven is hot.
