Product Registration

What to Do

1. Begin by ensuring proper installation and
grounding of the appliance by a qualified
technician. Have the installer show you
where the fuse or junction box is located
so that you know how and where to turn off
power.

2. Always be certain that nothing will interfere
with the raising and lowering of the vent
intake. Ensure that cookware handles are
turned to the side so that they will not be
hit by the moving vent intake. This will
prevent accidental spilling of the cookware
contents and reduce the possibility of
damaging the vent intake drive system.

3. Use the vent system for its intended
purpose only as outlined in this manual.

4. Clean the filters, grill and all grease-laden
surfaces often to prevent grease fires and
maintain performance.

5. Clean liquid spills immediately. If liquid
enters the vent intake, then turn off the
blower, disconnect the power supply and
carefully wipe up all liquid. See the CARE
AND CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS in this
manual.

6. If the cooktop and vent are near a window,
use an appropriate window treatment.
Avoid long drapes or other window
coverings that could blow over the cooktop
and vent, resulting in a fire hazard or
tangling with the moving vent intake.

7. Always raise the vent intake and run the
blower whenever the cooktop is operating.

What Not to Do

1. Never operate the vent without the filters in
place.

2. Do not operate the blower if a flame or
flare-up develops. In the event of a flame,
immediately turn off the blower. Smother
the flame or use an appropriate class dry
chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

3. Never leave the appliance unattended
when using high heat settings. Boil-overs
and greasy spills may smoke and/or ignite.

4. Do not leave children alone or unattended
in the area where the cooktop and vent are
in use. Never allow children to sit or stand
on an appliance. Do not let children play
with the cooktop or vent.

5. CAUTION: Do not store items of interest
to children above or at the back of the
cooktop and vent, as they could climb
on the appliances to reach items and be
injured.

6. Do not repair or replace any part of the
raised vent system unless specifically
recommended in literature accompanying
this appliance. All service should be
referred to a qualified technician.

7. Do not set or rest any objects on top of
the vent top cap. Do not interfere with the
movement of the vent intake in any way.

Getting Started

WARNING:

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 pres the Up/Down switch to
continue raising or lowering the intake.

NOTE:

The direction of travel of the vent intake
cannot bo reversed while it is moving. The
intake must complete a full up or down
cycle before changing directions.

ERV/PRV Downdraft Vent

To operate the ERV/PRV downdraft vent system,
press the Up/Down switch, located on the top
cap, once while the vent intake is in the down
position. 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 turn the variable speed control.
The blower speed may be adjusted when ever
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 positition.

If you received a damaged product,
immediately contact your dealer or builder.
Do not install or use a damaged appliance.
