Information
The retractable downdraft vent system is
designed to remove smoke, cooking vapors
and odors from the cook-top area. For the
best results, the vent should be operating
before cooking is started. If you use large or
tall utensils, place them on the large rear
element or burner surface. A higher heat
setting than normally used may be needed
when the downdraft vent is operating.

Cleaning
Surface of downdraft vent: Clean with soap
and water. Do Not use scouring powder or
abrasive solutions.
Filter: Frequently remove and clean the
filter in the retractable section of the
downdraft vent. This will improve the
operating efficiency of the downdraft vent
system.
1. Remove the filter and clean it in a hot
detergent solution. Care should be taken
when washing the filter to avoid bending
the frame.
Do Not use the downdraft vent when
the filter is not in place.
2. Reinstall the clean filter into the opening,
making sure that the filter is pushed in as
far as it will go. Filter frame must depress
the microswitch in the center of the
opening.
Note: Downdraft vent will not operate if
filter is removed or not in proper position.
If retractable downdraft vent does not
operate after clean filter has been
reinstalled:
When the filter is removed, the microswitch
behind the filter is activated. This safety
feature stops the blower and raising
mechanism until the filter is properly
installed.
To be sure the downdraft vent operates,
install filter with both locking handles fully
locked.
Note: If both handles are not fully locked,
the vent may retract, but not raise back up.
