VERIFY INSTALLATION,
OPERATION & COOKTOP
ALIGNMENT
Before performing this procedure, verify that all
packing materials were removed from inside the
lower enclosure front and that the grease filters
have been properly installed. Refer to the Care and
Use Manual for instructions regarding filter instal-
lation.
Plug the vent power cord into a proper electrical recep-
tacle and ensure that the circuit is energized.
A. Raise the snorkel to its fully extended position by
pressing the Snorkel Up/Down button once (Figure
12). Do not hold the button. The elevating motor
will stop when the snorkel reaches its full height.
(Note: the blower will
not operate unless the snorkel
is fully raised).
B . Remove filters from packaging and install (refer to
Care and Cleaning section for details).
C. Turn the blower ON by pushing the Low Blower
Speed button on the snorkel (Figure 12). Let the
blower run several minutes at each speed to
evaluate its operation.
D. With the blower running, lower the snorkel to its fully
retracted position by pushing the Snorkel Up/Down
button once. The blower will immediately turn off.
E . Raise and lower the vent again. Check to make
sure that the top cap on the snorkel does not
catch on the back edge of the cooktop when it is
lowered. If interference occurs, adjust the posi-
tion of the cooktop by moving it against the front
edge of the countertop cutout. Re-secure the
cooktop to the countertop. Failure to eliminate
interference may result in permanent damage to
the vent. Also, ensure that the vent support legs
have been properly secured to the cabinet base
using the screws provided.
F . The height of the snorkel top can be adjusted so
that the snorkel top cap is visible when installed
with cooktops that have a higher cooking surface.
Make this adjustment after installation is com-
plete. First unplug the power cord, remove the
J-Box cover, loosen the adjustment screw and
push up on the adjustment bracket, (see Figure
13).
NOTE: To prevent damage to any internal
parts, the snorkel should be in the raised
position when this adjustment is made.
If the vent system does not operate satisfac-
torily during any of the above procedures,
review all steps in these Installation Instruc-
tions to ensure that nothing has been omitted
or overlooked. Also, refer to the Care & Use
Manual for additional information or call
