b) Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambeing food (i.e.
Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe’).
c) Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed
toaccumulate on fan or filter.
d) Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the
surface element.
• To reduce the risk of injury to persons in the event of a range top grease fire,
observe the following:
a) SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie sheet, or metal tray, then
turn off the burner. BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If the flames do not
go out immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
b) NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN - You may be burned.
c) DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels - a violent steam
explosion will result.
d) Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
1)You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher, and you already know how
to operate it.
2)The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.
3)The fire department is being called.
4)You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.

OPERATING YOUR DOWNDRAFT VENT
!
WARNINGWARNING
WARNING
WARNINGWARNING
If the vent intake becomes jammed while being raised or lowered, immediately press the
Up/Down switch once to stop the intake motion, then disconnect the power supply.
Remove the obstruction, then restore power and press the Up/Down switch to continue
raising or lowering the intake.
IMPORIMPOR
IMPOR
IMPORIMPOR
The direction of travel of the vent intake cannot be reversed while it is moving. The
intake must complete a full up or down cycle before changing directions.
To operate the downdraft vent system, press the Up/Down switch, located on the
top cap, once while the vent intake is in the down position (see Figure 1). The
intake will take approximately 10 seconds to reach its uppermost position where it
will stop.
The blower will then turn on to the last position
the variable speed control was set when the
intake was lowered last. The blower speed may
be adjusted by turning the variable speed
control. Blower speed may be adjusted
whenever desired, as long as the vent intake is
in the fully raised position. The blower will not
operate if the intake is in any other position.
The blower may be turned off by pressing the
Up/Down switch once, which shuts off the
blower and also lowers the vent intake.

Getting Started

IMPORIMPOR
• Activate the blower a few minutes before starting to cook to establish an airflow
pattern in the room.
• Adjust the fan speed according to the volume and weight of the cooking exhaust.
• Reduce the fan speed if the flame on a gas cooktop is being drawn by the vent
system. Drawing of the flame is a normal occurrence with these powerful vent
systems, especially when installed with short duct runs.
• Always raise the vent intake and activate the blower whenever using the cooktop.
• Eliminate air currents in the vent vicinity by shutting nearby windows and doors,
turning off ceiling fans and closing adjacent heating and air conditioning
outlets.
• Place your largest frying pans, skillets and stock pots on the rear burners
whenever possible, as the draft is strongest closest to the vent intake.

objects will not interfere with the moving vent intake.
• Do not set hot cookware, utensils or any other objects on the vent top cap.
• Do not leave the vent intake in the down position when using the cooktop.
