EXHAUST SYSTEM
This cooking center has a built-in exhaust system
equipped with a damper, a two-speed exhaust blower
and removable filters. Exhaust openings are located
over the cooking top and in the hood over the oven.
The exhaust system functions only when the
blower is operating. The switch for the exhaust
system is beneath the control panel. For high speed,
push switch once; for low speed, push switch twice;
to stop blower, push switch once in sequence.
When blower is operating and the hood over the upper
oven is closed, it exhausts over the surface units only.
When the blower operates with
hood in the open
it exhausts through the openings over the
surface units and over the oven at the same time.

OPERATED WHENEVER ODORS, VAPORS OR
SMOKE ARE EXPECTED TO BE THE RESULT
OF A COOKING OPERATION.

the hood in its fully extended position whenever
vapor or smoke results from cooking, such as when
