smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or
medium setting. Always turn the Downdraft “ON”when cooking at high
heat or when cooking flaming foods. Clean ventilating fans frequently.
Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter. Use proper

USE & CARE INFORMATION
This vent system is designed to remove smoke, cooking vapors and odors from the cooktop area. This
unit also has several features to insure operator safety.
TO OPERATE THE DOWNDRAFT
Push the Up/Down button on top of the Downdraft to raise the
plenum as indicated. The speed control knob is located on the
right hand side of the plenum. Press the Up/Down button to
lower the unit. The Up/Down button must be pressed and held
momentarily to raise or lower the plenum. This is a safety feature
which protects against accidental activation when cleaning the
plenum. For best results, start the Downdraft before cooking and
allow the unit to operate for several minutes after cooking is
complete to clear all smoke and odors from the kitchen. If using
large pots, place them on the rear burner to insure proper
ventilation. A higher fan setting may be required.
CLEANING
The metal grease filters should be cleaned frequently in hot detergent solution or washed in the
dishwasher. The plenum and top strip should be cleaned with stainless steel cleaner. Abrasives and
scouring agents can scratch stainless steel finishes and should not be used.

USE WITH GAS COOKTOPS
The DCS Downdraft Vent System is designed for safe use with gas cooktops and will not extinguish
burners or pilots. The blower does not start operation until the plenum has reached the full upright
position. Also, the blower stops operation as soon as the Up/Down switch is pressed to lower the unit.
WARNING:
If a spill occurs on the cooktop that allows liquids to seep inside the
Downdraft, you must turn the Downdraft off immediately. It is possible to
cause damage to the Downdraft if water is allowed inside the Downdraft
while it is opera
■ Immediately turn “OFF” the Downdraft at the speed control located on the right hand side of
the Downdraft.
■ Turn “OFF” the power supply to the Downdraft at the circuit breaker box or fuse box.
■ Allow plenty of time for the Downdraft to dry naturally. Do not open the Downdraft to remove
the water. Failure to follow these warnings could result in damage to the Downdraft.

SAFETY MICROSWITCHES
This Downdraft Vent System is designed with a safety microswitch behind the center of each grease
filter. These microswitches prevent the blower and plenum-raising mechanism from operating when
either of the grease filters is removed. It is very important to make sure that the grease filters are
properly and firmly in place after cleaning. If the unit does not operate after replacing the grease
filters, make sure the filters are properly installed and are making firm contact with the safety
microswitches.
