Operating Controls
warning
Do not operate the ventilation system without the filters
in place or with dirty, grease-laden filters.
Your Dacor IVS has two knobs that control the halogen
lights and the exhaust blower. Turning the knobs clock-
wise will turn on the lights and the blower. When turning
the lights or blower off, turn the knob counter-clockwise
until it clicks.
Blower Knob: The further clockwise you turn the knob
the faster the blower runs.
Light Knob: The further clockwise you turn the knob
the brighter the light. Turn the knob until you reach the
desired light level.
Operating Tips:
• Activate the blower a few minutes before starting to
cook to establish an airflow pattern in the room.
Operation
• Adjust the fan speed according to the volume and
weight of the cooking exhaust.
• Always activate the blower whenever using the cook-
ing appliance.
• 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 pans, skillets and stock pots on the
rear burners whenever possible.
Energy Saving Tips
• Do not operate the blower at a speed that is higher
than necessary to remove the cooking exhaust. Run-
ning at excessive speeds removes more air from the
inside of the house that must be replaced by outside
air. This may be especially costly when the housing air
conditioning or heating system is in operation.
• Clean filters and grease-laden surfaces often to
improve efficiency.
• Turn off the blower as soon as all cooking smoke and
odors have been eliminated.
• Always use lids on cookware to retain heat and mois-
ture.
• Minimize the amount of liquid used to cook food.
• Select cookware of the proper size, material and con-
struction for the cooking task being performed.
