CHANGING THE RANGE SETTING
IMPORTANT NOTE:
This cooktop is equipped
with a dual-range blower. The range is deter-
mined by a “restrictor ring” (see below) on the
inlet of the blower. When the ring is installed,
the blower is at the “low range” setting. When
the ring is removed, the blower is at the “high
range” setting. The blower is shipped from the
factory with the restrictor ring installed. The
“equivalent” duct length shown in the chart on
page 1-7, (not the actual length), determines
how the blower’s range should be set.
1. Determine the equivalent length of duct
(see the chart on page 1-7). If the length is
not more than 30-feet (9.1 m), leave the
blower set at the current low range. If the
duct length exceeds 30-feet, use the fol-
lowing procedure, and remove the restrictor
ring from the blower (set it to the “high”
range).
a) Remove the air grille and filter from
the blower housing.
b) Press in on one of the spring clips that
hold the restrictor ring to the blower
inlet and pull the ring forward to re-
move it.
c) Reinstall the filter and air grille.
2. Rotate the blower to the proper angle
needed for your installation. The blower
can be swiveled 90˚. To rotate the blower:
a) Remove the filter from the blower hous-
ing
b) Loosen, but do not remove, the nuts
around blower inlet.
c) Rotate the blower housing for the
proper angle.
d) Retighten the four nuts and install the
filter.
