For Best Results
Start the downdraft before cooking and allow the unit to
operate for several minutes after cooking is complete
to clear all smoke and odors from the kitchen. If using
large pots, place them on the rear burner or element
to insure proper ventilation. A higher heat setting may
be required.
Use With Gas Cooktops
The Scirocco downdraft system is designed for safe
use with gas cooktops and will not extinguish burners
or pilots. The blower does not start operation until the
plenum has reached the full upright position. Also, the
blower stops operation as soon as the Up/Down switch
is pressed to lower the unit.
To Operate The Downdraft
Push the Up/Down button on top of the downdraft to
raise the plenum as indicated in FIGURE 12. The
speed control knob is located on the right hand side of
the plenum. Press the Up/Down button to lower the
unit. The Up/Down button must be pressed and held
momentarily to raise or lower the plenum. This is a
safety feature which protects against accidental activa-
tion when cleaning the plenum.
FIGURE 13
SAFETY MICROSWITCHES
This rangehood is designed with a safety microswitch
behind the center of each grease filter. These mi-
croswitches prevent the blower and plenum-raising
mechanism from operating when either of the grease
filters is removed. It is very important to make sure that
the grease filters are properly and firmly in place after
cleaning. If the unit does not operate after replacing
the grease filters, make sure the filters are properly
installed and are making firm contact with the safety
microswitches.
FIGURE 12
If a spill occurs on the cooktop that allows liquids to seep inside
the downdraft, you must turn the downdraft off immediately. It is
possible to cause damage to the downdraft if water is allowed
inside the downdraft while it is operating.
.
Failure to follow these warnings could result in damage to the
downdraft.
• Turn OFF the Power Supply to the Downdraft at
the Circuit Breaker Box or Fuse Box.
• Immediately turn OFF the downdraft at the speed control
located on the right hand side of the downdraft.
• Allow plenty of time for the Downdraft to dry naturally.
Do not open the downdraft to remove the water
