Operating Tips
•
Turn on the downdraft vent a few minutes before cook
-
ing to establish airflow in the room.
• Adjust fan speed to the volume of the cooking exhaust.
•
Always operate the vent when using the cooktop.
Operating Your Downdraft Vent
•
Reduce fan speed if the vent pulls at the cooktop
flame.(This is normal with powerful vent systems,
especially those with short duct runs.)
•
Eliminate nearby air currents by shutting windows and
doors, turning off ceiling fans, and closing adjacent
heating/air-conditioning outlets.
• Place the largest cookware on the rear burners if pos-
sible, as the draft is strongest next to the intake.
