CLEANING DOWNDRAFT VENTS
Downdraft vents and filters should be cleaned fre-
quently - after every use is best. If they are not clean-
ed frequently, a build-up of grease will reduce efficien-
cy and make cleaning much harder. Also, a really
greasy filter may let some grease pass through into the
blower system.
To clean:
1.
Remove vent grills and lift out aluminum grease
filters (see illustration).
2.
Wash grills and filters at the sink in soap and
water or in your dishwasher. You can use a small
vegetable brush for difficult soil.
3. Be sure the blower switch is off. Wash out the
vent chambers at each side of the cooktop with a
damp soapy cloth or kitchen brush, rinse and dry.
Do not use a sponge because small pieces may
break off and be sucked into the blower motor. Do
not leave excess liquid in these chambers.
To replace:
The aluminum grease filters are interchangeable from
side to side but they should be placed in the vent
chamber as shown in the illustration.
The angled flanges at the top and bottom edges of the
filter should face toward the inside of the unit with the
top edge slanted outward.
GREASE JARS
Behind the lower panel two grease jars are mounted
(one for each well) to catch fat and drippings. To open
the lower panel grasp the handle and pull.
The lid of the jar is permanently mounted and con-
nected by a tube to a spout at the front of each well.
The jar can be unscrewed from the lid to be emptied
and cleaned, or to be replaced. The jar is a standard 1
pint mayonnaise or salad dressing jar. Other glass jars
such as 1 pint instant tea, dry creamer and malted milk
jars as well as pint or quart canning jars may also fit.
Different foods give different amounts of fat and drip-
pings so you should check the jar each time it is used. If
the jar is not emptied or replaced often enough, the fat
and drippings may overflow.
