Installation Instructions
Verifying Proper Operation
WARNING
• Read the downdraft vent user manual completely
before operation.
• Install all front filters before operating the downdraft
vent. (See the user manual about filter installation.)
CAUTION
Before plug-in, route the downdraft-vent power cord away
from range or cooktop surfaces.
1. Ensure the power switch atop the downdraft vent is in
the up position.
2. Plug in the downdraft vent.
3. Press the power switch to raise the vent.
4. Once raised, the vent should begin to draw air. Turn the
variable-speed control switch in both directions to verify
that the system operates correctly.
5. Press the top cap up/down switch to lower the vent.
6. Ensure the vent top cap does not catch on the back
edge of the cooktop/range. If it does catch, reposition
the cooktop/range to avoid permanent vent damage.
If the downdraft vent is not functional after installation:
•
Ensure power is supplied to the downdraft vent.
•
Ensure the downdraft vent supplies power to the blower.
•
If the vent will not raise properly or makes a scraping
sound, check for under-counter obstructions.
If the downdraft vent fails to function after performing the
above checks, do not try to repair it yourself. Contact Dacor
