Verifying Proper Operation
WARNING
• Read the downdraft vent use and care manual com-
pletely before operation.
• Install all of the front filters prior to operating the
downdraft vent. Refer to the use and care manual for
filter installation instructions.
CAUtION
To prevent damage to the downdraft vent power cord,
route it away from the surfaces of the range or cooktop
before connecting it.
1. Make sure the power switch on the top of the downdraft
vent is in the up position.
2. Plug the downdraft vent power plug into the electrical
outlet.
3. Press the power switch once to raise the vent to its
operating position.
4. Once in the up position the vent should begin to draw
air. Turn the variable speed control switch in both direc-
tions to verify that the system is operating correctly.
5. Press the top cap up/down switch once to lower the
vent.
6. Make sure that the top cap on the downdraft vent
intake does not catch on the back edge of the cooktop
or range when the intake is lowered. If interference
occurs, adjust the position of the cooktop or range.
Failure to eliminate any interference may result in per-
manent damage to the vent.
If the downdraft vent is not operational after installa-
tion:
• Make sure that power is being supplied to the unit.
• Make sure that power is being supplied to the blower
from the downdraft vent.
• If the vent will not raise properly or makes a scraping
sound check for obstructions interfering with the raising
of the unit.
If the downdraft vent still does not function after perform-
ing the above checks, do not attempt to repair it yourself.
