LOCATOR SYMBOL

This manual covers all features and optional accesso-

des of your downdraft range. Your range will not have

all of the modules and accessories mentioned in this
book° Available modules are the grill module, coil

module, solid elements module, radiant module and
griddle module.

Modules can be interchanged quickly and easily. Each
module hasa plug which fits into a receptacle inthe side
of the well nearest the center of the cooktop. See each
module section for specific instructions.

For best cooking results and energy efficient operation,
you should use pans that:

A. Have flat bottoms and straight sides.

B. Have light handles that do not tilt pans.

Co Are about the same size as the element.

Downdraft ranges have their own venting system within
the unit. Cooking vapors and smoke are routed through

the vents to the outside.
The blower will come on whenever you turn on any

REAR cooktop control knob. The blower will also come
on while using the self-clean cycle. Use the Ht/LO switch
on the front panel to adjust blower speed. The blower

will come on automatically during broiling and self-

cleaning. A LO setting is recommended for broiling or
self-cleaning.
