Generally, turning off your oven involves pressing the "Stop" or "Cancel" button. However, there's often more to it than that:
After pressing "Stop" or "Cancel," the oven's heating elements will turn off and the cooking cycle will end. But the cooling fan will likely continue to run. This is perfectly normal and designed to protect the oven's internal components and electronics from overheating. The fan will automatically switch off once the oven has cooled down sufficiently, which typically takes a few minutes. Don't be alarmed by this seemingly delayed shutdown.
Here's a simple breakdown:
- Press the Stop/Cancel Button: This halts the cooking process.
- Cooling Fan Operation: Expect the fan to run temporarily.
- Wait for Automatic Shutoff: The fan will turn off when the oven is cool.
