I Take It All Back ...

It appears that I have been mistaken. The stove fan actually works. After getting a bit frustrated with it, I started poking & prodding around and discovered that it only powers up after you extend it. Yes it did seem curious to me that it only covered half the depth of the stove (it was in a retracted position) which would make it pretty ineffective at fanning the steam & smoke. So I take everything back I said about Italian kitchen appliances. Yes sometimes even Dr. K gets it wrong.
