1. Make sure that all of the control knobs on
the cooktop’s control panel are turned to
OFF.
2. Install the cartridges, accessories, and
drain jars on the cooktop (refer to the “Use
and Care Guide” for the procedures).
3. Install the air filter in the cooktop vent
chamber, but do not install the air grille.
4. Turn on the power supply to the cooktop
junction box.
5. Locate the flow tester card that was sup-
plied with the cooktop’s printed material.
6. Place the flow tester card on top of the
cooktop so that the edge of the dotted line
labeled “cooktop models” is aligned with
the edge of the blower intake on the left
side of the cooktop near the center.
7. Turn on the fan switch. If the downdraft vent
system is operating properly, the blower
should pull the flow tester card into the air
intake of the cooktop. If the card is not pulled
into the vent, check the ductwork for obstruc-
tions.
Refer to the “Use and Care Guide” for the rest
of the operating procedures.
