Important Safety Instructions
before operating the raised vent, verify that pot •
handles or other objects will not interfere with the
raising and lowering of the vent intake. to prevent
spillage and damage to the vent system, turn
cookware handles to the side so that they will not
be hit when the vent moves to the “up” position.
clean liquid spills immediately. if liquid enters the
•
vent intake, then turn off the blower, disconnect the
power supply and carefully wipe up all liquid. see
the Care and Cleaning section of this manual.
never operate the vent without the filters in place.
•
Do not operate the blower if a flame or flare-up •
develops. in the event of a flame, immediately
turn off the blower. smother the flame or use an
appropriate class dry chemical or foam-type fire
extinguisher.
Do not set or rest any objects, including cookware, •
on top of the vent top cap. Do not interfere with the
movement of the vent intake in any way.
if the vent intake becomes jammed while being
•
raised or lowered, immediately press the up/
Down switch once to stop the intake motion, then
disconnect the power cord. remove the obstruction,
reconnect the power plug and press the up/Down
switch to continue raising or lowering the intake.
clean this appliance only as instructed in this

warning warning
Operation
important
the direction of travel of the vent intake cannot be
reversed while it is moving. the intake must complete a
full up or down cycle before changing directions.
to operate the erv downdraft vent, press the switch •
located on the top cap when the vent intake is in the
down position. the intake will take approximately 10
seconds to reach its uppermost position, where it will
stop.
once in the “up” position, the blower will turn on at
•
the speed at which the variable speed control was set
when the intake was last lowered. the blower speed
may be adjusted by turning the variable speed con-
trol. the blower speed may be adjusted whenever the
vent intake is in the fully raised position.
turn the blower off by pressing the up/Down switch
•
again. pressing the switch shuts off the blower and
lowers the vent intake.
Operating Tips
activate the raised vent a few minutes before starting •
to cook to establish an airflow pattern in the room.
adjust the fan speed according to the volume of the •
cooking exhaust.
Operating Your Raised Vent
Reduce the fan speed if the flame on a gas cooktop is •
being drawn by the vent system. Drawing of the flame
is a normal occurrence with powerful vent systems,
especially when installed with short duct runs.
always raise the vent intake and activate the blower
•
whenever using the cooktop.
eliminate air currents in the vent vicinity by shut-
•
ting nearby windows and doors, turning off ceiling
fans and closing adjacent heating and air conditioning
outlets.
place your largest frying pans, skillets and stock pots
•
on the rear burners whenever possible, as the draft is
strongest closest to the vent intake.
