INSTALL THE DUCTWORK

NOTE: To reduce the risk of ﬁ re, use only

metal ductwork.

1. Decide where the ductwork will run between the downdraft and the outside.

2. A straight, short duct run will allow the downdraft to perform most efﬁ ciently.

3. Long duct runs, elbows, and transitions will reduce the performance of the downdraft. Use as few of them as possible. Larger ducting may be required for best performance with longer duct runs.

4. Install a roof or wall cap. Connect round metal ductwork to cap and work back towards downdraft location. Use duct tape to seal the joints between ductwork sections.

MAINTENANCE

Proper maintenance of the Downdraft will assure proper performance of the unit.

BEFORE SERVICING OR CLEANING UNIT, SWITCH POWER OFF AT SERVICE PANEL AND LOCK SERVICE DISCO-NNECTING MEANS TO PREVENT POWER FROM BEING SWITCHED ON ACCIDENTALLY. WHEN THE SERVICE DISCONNECTING MEANS CANNOT BE LOCKED, SECURELY FASTEN A PROMINENT WARNING DEVICE, SUCH AS A TAG, TO THE SERVICE PANEL.

Grease ﬁ lters

The grease ﬁ lters should be cleaned perio- dically depending upon use (approximately every (1) month). Use a warm detergent solution. Grease ﬁ lters are dishwasher safe.

the dishwasher or sink using a non-phosphate detergent. Discoloration of the ﬁ lter may occur if using phosphate detergent or as a result of local water conditions — but this will not affect ﬁ lter performance. This discoloration is not covered by the warranty.

To remove the grease ﬁ lter, push the retainer near the handle inwards and pull the ﬁ lter upwards (Fig. 19).

Cleaning liquid waste pan

The appliance is equipped with a removable oil pan that will collect oil, grease and con-

densation from cooking. Remove the pan (Fig.20), keeping it in horizontal position, and clean it with a neutral cleaning agent. This should be cleaned regularly, as needed, every month.

Hood Cleaning

Stainless steel is one of the easiest materials to keep clean. Occasional care will help preserve its ﬁ ne appearance.

Cleaning tips:

• Hot water with soap or detergent is all that is usually needed.

• Follow all cleaning by rinsing with clear water. Wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth to avoid water marks.

• For discolorations or deposits that persist, use a non-scratching household cleanser or stainless steel polishing powder with a little water and a soft cloth.

• For stubborn cases, use a plastic scouring pad or soft bristle brush together with cleanser and water. Rub lightly in direction of polishing lines or “grain” of the stainless ﬁ nish. Avoid using too much pressure which may mar the surface.

• DO NOT allow deposits to remain for long periods of time.

• DO NOT use ordinary steel wool or steel brushes. Small bits of steel may adhere to the surface causing rust.

• DO NOT allow salt solutions, disinfectants, bleaches, or cleaning compounds to contact stainless steel. Many of these compounds contain chemicals which may be harmful. Rinse with water after exposure and wipe dry with a clean cloth.

• DO NOT use bleach ever!

• Surfaces should be cleaned with warm water and mild detergent only.
