Always turn the downdraft blower on before you begin cooking
to establish an air flow in the kitchen. Let the blower run for a few
minutes to clean the air after you turn the cooktop off. This will
keep the whole kitchen cleaner and brighter.

For most convenient operation, set the blower to your favorite
speed. The blower will come on to this speed whenever the
activating switch is pressed and the air vent rises.
HEAT SENTRY
When chimney is UP and blower is ON (at any speed) or OFF:
If the exhaust temperature becomes higher than expected, the Heat
Sentry mode will activate and increase the blower speed to HIGH.
Lowering the chimney will turn blower OFF - even if Heat Sentry
is active.
