Careand Cleaning
Downdraft Vent System
Grease filters
Painted or
stainless steel surfaces
Theefficiency of your downdraft depends on a clean filter. Frequency of cleaning depends on the
type of cooking you do.Greasefilters should be cleaned at least once a month. Neveroperate the downdraft without the filters in place.
To remove: Slipfingers into the vent holes,lift the vent straight up and pull forward. Graspthe filter
tabs, push down and out of the retainer. To clean: Soakand then agitate in a hot detergent
solution. Lightbrushing may be used to remove embedded soil.Rinse,shakeand remove moisture
before replacing. Do not clean the filters in the dishwasher.
With careful handling, the filter will last for years.
If replacement becomes necessary,order the part
from your dealer.
Do not usea steel wool pad; it will scratch
the surface. Toclean the stainless steel surface, usewarm,
sudsy water or a stainless steelcleaner or polish. Always wipe the surface in the direction of the grain.
