FEATURES
Raised Intake
O Intake Top Cap
Control Button
Filters
The downdraft takes the place of an
overhead hood and can be conveniently
hidden away (lowered) when not in use.
Intake
The intake, when raised, captures and
channels the cooking odors, steam and
grease. The filters are located within the
intake.
Control Button
The control button is located on the top
right of the intake. Press the Button once to
raise or lower the intake. It isnot necessary
to hold the Button.
Turn the button clockwise to adjust the
speed. There are three speeds: low,
medium, and high.
_1 Filter Release Lever
O1 Blower (not shown)
There are five primary parts of the
downdraft system: the intake, the control
button, the blower, the filter and the filter
release lever.
Blower
The blower is the fan that draws the
cooking odors out of the house.
Filters
The filters are located on the front of the
intake. They condense and trap the grease
in the air.
Filter Release Levers
The filter release levers are used to remove
the filters. Pull out on the lever then pull up
and out on the filter.
OPERATION
For Best Results
[] Turn the blower on before starting to
cook.
[] A higher heat setting may be needed
when the downdraft is in operation.
[] Use a rear burner when browning or pan
frying meat.
[] Open a window or inside door slightly.
[] Clean the filters and the wall behind the
filters frequently.
[] For Gas Cooktops, a lower blower
speed should be used if:
• the gas flame is being distorted by
the air movement.
• the burner continually sparks (clicks).
• the burner flame repeatedly blows
out.
To Raise the Intake
[] Press the control push-button once to
raise the intake.
[] The intake will stop automatically at its
maximum height.
[] The blower will automatically turn on to
the previously set blower speed.
To Set or Adjust Blower Speed
[] Vary the blower speed as needed for the
food or the cooking method being used.
For example: greasy or pungent foods
require greater ventilation power than
boiling pasta. Turn the button clockwise
to adjust the speed.
To Lower the Intake
[] Press the control push-button once.
Note: The blower will turn off when the
intake is lowered if operating when the
control push-button is pressed.
If Intake Stops
[] Locate and remove obstruction.
[] Press control button to raise intake.
[] Press control button again to lower
intake.
CARE AND CLEANING
The efficiency of the downdraft ventilation system depends on the cleanliness of the intake
and filters. The frequency of cleaning depends on the amount and type of cooking.
