DOWNDRAFT VENT SYSTEM USE
The retractable downdraft vent system is designed to remove smoke, cooking vapors and odors from the cooktop area.
■
For best results, the vent should be operating before cooking
is started.
■
If you use large or tall utensils, place them on the large rear
element or burner surface.
■
A higher heat setting than normally used may be needed
when the downdraft vent is operating.
■
For gas cooktops, the downdraft vent system may affect the
flame stability and cooking performance. To improve the
burner performance, either decrease the downdraft vent
blower speed or increase the cooktop burner flame setting.
■
For gas cooktops with flame sensing ignitions, the downdraft
vent system may disperse the flame away from the spark
igniter and may cause it to continually spark while trying to
reignite a burner that is already lit. To resolve the issue of the
cooktop igniter continuously sparking, either decrease the
downdraft vent blower speed or increase the cooktop flame
setting for that burner.
Operating Downdraft Vent System
Downdraft Vent System Use:
NOTES:
■
The downdraft vent system will not allow the vent hood to be
lowered with the glass removed.
■
The downdraft vent system comes with a remote up/down
switch, to be used in conjunction with the downdraft
mounted controls and a handheld remote control.
Remote Up/Down Switch
The remote up/down switch is used to raise and lower the vent
hood without use of the handheld remote.
1. Push the remote up/down switch to raise and lower the vent
hood. If the fan and lights are On, they will turn Off when the
vent hood is being lowered.
Downdraft Mounted Controls
The downdraft mounted controls are used to turn On and control
the fan speed and to turn on the base lights without use of the
handheld remote.
1. Push the control switch up to turn the base lights On and Off.
2. Push the control switch down to turn On and change the fan
speed from 1 to 4, then to Off. The number of fan speed
indicator lights increase as the fan speed increases, and all
turn off when the fan is Off.
NOTE: The “Clean Filter” indicator comes on after 30 hours of
blower operation. See the “Vent System Care” section for filter
cleaning requirements.
To reset the indicator, press and hold the Speed Increase button
on the remote, or the Speed Increase rocker on the right side of
the unit, for approximately 7 seconds.
