heat or when cooking flaming foods.

Push-button, the Blower, the Blower Speed Control Knob and the Filters.

The intake, when raised, captures and channels the
cooking odors, steam and grease. The filters are
located within the intake.
UP/DOWN Push-button
The UP/DOWN push-button is located on the top
right of the intake. Press the push-button once to
raise or lower the intake. It is not necessary to
hold the push-button.

out of the house.

right front of the intake. The intake must be raised
in order to use the control knob. There are four
blower speed settings represented by numbers "0"
(Off) , "1" (Low), "2" (Medium), and "3" (High).
Filters
The filters are located just behind the removable
front panel with the Intake. The filters condense
and trap the grease in the air.
