Read All Instructions Before Using the Appliance.
WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
A COOKTOP GREASE FIRE:
A. Never leave surface units unattended at high
settings. Boil-overs cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on
low or medium settings.
B. Always turn hood ON when cooking at high
heat or when cooking flaming foods.
C. Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should
not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
D. Use proper pan size. Always use cookware ap-
propriate for the size of the surface element.
WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF
A COOKTOP GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE
THE FOLLOWING:
A. SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid,
cookie sheet, or metal tray, then turn off the
burner. BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If
the flames do not go out immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
B. NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN. You
may be burned.
C. DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dish
cloths or towels. A violent explosion will result.
D. Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
1) You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher,
and you already know how to operate it.
2) The fire is small and contained in the area where
it started.
3) The fire department is being called.

Cook‘n’Vent® downdraft system that will be referred to in this booklet: The Intake, the UP/DOWN
Push-button, the Blower, the Blower Speed Control Knob and the Filters.
The Intake
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.

The blower is the fan that draws the cooking odors
out of the house.

The blower speed control knob is located on the
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.
