Features
The Downdraft Hood takes the place of an overhead hood
and can be conveniently hidden away (lowered) when
not in use. It has a blower fan that draws the cooking
byproducts into the intake housing, through two lters and
out of the house or recirculated back into the home with
the separate purchase of a recirculation kit.

Intake Up / Down Pushbutton
Raised Intake Housing
The intake housing, when raised, captures and channels
the cooking odors, steam and grease from the cooktop
through two lters located within the intake housing.
The air is cleaned by the lters and conveyed to the
building exterior by a series of pipe ducts.
Note: Ventilation may not exit through an already
operational smoke or exhaust chimney, nor a duct used
for ventilating furnace installation areas.
If the ventilation is intended to pass through a smoke
or exhaust that is not in operation, the responsible area
heating inspector must give approval.
If the ventilation passes through an external wall, use a
telescopic wall sleeve.

Operating the Appliance
Always turn the downdraft blower on before you begin
cooking to establish an air ow in the kitchen. Let the
blower run for a few minutes to clean the air after you turn
the cooktop off. This will keep the whole kitchen cleaner
and brighter.
It is recommended to use the rear burners when cooking
with tall pots or when the cooking method will generate
high amounts of smoke or steam. The combination of
using the rear burners and operating the unit at high
speed will increase the likelihood that all the smoke and
steam will be removed by the downdraft.
All functions of the Downdraft Hood are controlled with
the control knob on the right side of the top panel.

How Long the Warranty Lasts
BSH warrants that the Product is free from defects
in materials and workmanship for a period of three
hundred sixty-ve (365) days from the date of purchase.
The foregoing timeline begins to run upon the date of
