Cooking Tips
The high air movement of this downdraft
system can increase the cooking times for
some foods. It may take longer to reach
high cooking temperatures if the downdraft
is turned to high right away. Adjust the fan
speed for best cooking results.
For best results when heating oil for deep
frying or when boiling water, use the front
surface units or wait until the water is
boiling or the oil is at frying temperatures
before turning on the downdraft.
The downdraft may not completely capture all the
steam from pans on the front burners.
Canning
When canning foods in a water-bath canner,
a gentle but steady boil must be maintained
continuously for the required time.
When canning foods in a pressure canner,
the pressure must be maintained
continuously for the required time.
Use of the blower at HIGH speed when
canning may reduce the temperature
enough to stop boiling. While canning,
we recommend using the downdraft at
LOW speed and using the front surface unit.
Painted or Metal Surfaces
Clean greasy surfaces frequently, using
a mild detergent.
Do not use abrasive cloth, steel wool pads or
scouring powder because they will mar the
surface.
Care and cleaning of the downdraft system.
Grease Filters
The efficiency of your downdraft depends
on a clean filter. Frequency of cleaning
depends on the type of cooking you do.
Grease filters should be cleaned at least
once a month. Never operate the downdraft
without the filters in place.
To remove: Pull the filters out by grasping
them and pulling straight up.
To clean: Soak and then agitate in a hot
detergent solution. Light brushing may
be used to remove embedded soil. Rinse,
shake and remove moisture before
replacing.
Filters may also be cleaned in the
dishwasher.
With careful handling, the filter will last for
years. If replacement becomes necessary,
order the part from your dealer.
