The built-inventilationsystem removescookingvapors,odors and smoke from foods

prepared on the cooktop, grill and grill accessories. Regular use of this system will insure a more comfortable and less humid kitchen which is free of heavy cooking

odors and fumes that normally create a frequent need for cleaning and redecorating.

I Using the Ventilation System I

air grille.If you pushon the left side of the switch,the fan will operateat the Lo speed. If you pushon the rightside of the switch,the fan willoperate at the Hi speed. To turn the fan off, the switchshouldbe returnedto the middle (level)

position.

• The ventilationsystemwill operateautomatically whenthe grillelementis in use. DuringgdllJng,thefan speedis automaticallyset forthe Hi settingAND cannotbe

changedto Lo speed.

tion without pushing down.
