Kitchen Hub - Fan Comes on Automatically

Should you notice that your Kitchen Hub fan is coming on by itself, this does not necessarily indicate a need for a repair. If the fan comes on automatically when cooking, there are two possible reasons for this that are completely normal. We are describing these reasons below.

Chef Connect Feature

• Cooking appliances with Chef Connect can be set-up so that the vent fan comes on automatically when the cooktop burners are turned on. For more information, please take a look at our Range - Chef Connect Feature article.

Heat Sensor

• This appliance is equipped with a heat sensor that will activate the vent fan if excessive temperatures are detected above the cooktop surface. This is designed to protect the Kitchen Hub components from overheating.
• If the fan is “OFF” and excessive temperatures are detected, the fan will automatically turn on to “LOW” speed. You may adjust the fan speed up to “MEDIUM”, “HIGH”, or “BOOST”, but you will not be able to turn it to “OFF” until temperatures return to an acceptable level.
