How to Remove Protective Shipping Film and Packaging Tape
Carefully grasp a corner of the protective shipping film with your fingers and slowly peel it from the appliance surface. Do not use any sharp items to remove the film. Remove all of the film before using the appliance for the first time.
To assure no damage is done to the finish of the product, the safest way to remove the adhesive from packaging tape on new appliances is an application of a household liquid dishwashing detergent. Apply with a soft cloth and allow to soak.
NOTE: The adhesive must be removed from all parts. It cannot be removed if it is baked on.

Downdraft Vent System
To Use The Downdraft System
To raise the downdraft vent, press the ON/OFF pad on the control. The vent will rise.
Press the Fan Speed HIGHER pad to start the blower. Adjust the blower by pressing HIGHER or LOWER. The blower, if left on, will automatically turn off when the vent is lowered.
NOTE: For most convenient operation, set the blower to the speed you use most often. The blower will come on to this speed whenever the unit is raised.
IMPORTANT: The vent can be activated by pressing the pads on the switch. Do not use excessive force or sharp objects to activate the switch. Damage could occur and void the warranty.
When Using The Vent System
Controls for 30” and 36” Models
CAUTION: Be careful when raising or lowering the vent. Be sure pots, pot handles and other objects are clear of the vent and cannot be struck or tipped by the vent being raised.
NOTE: There is a slight trim overhang on each side of the vent.

IMPORTANT: If the vent is obstructed by an object while it is being raised or lowered, it will stop. Remove the obstruction and press the ON/OFF pad again.
Cooking Tips
The high air movement of this vent system can increase the cooking times for some foods. It may take longer to reach high cooking temperatures if the vent system is turned to high right away. Adjust the fan speed for best cooking results.
For best results when heating oil for deep frying or when boiling water, use the front surface units or wait until the water is boiling or the oil is at frying temperatures before turning on the vent system.
The vent system may not completely capture all the steam from pans on the front burners.
