Using the Downdraft System  
Downdraft Vent System  
Raise/lower pad  
Turn the downdraft blower ON by pressing  
the raise/lower pad. Place your finger on the  
“center” of the pad and hold until you observe  
the vent moving, then release. The air vent  
will rise.  
To use the  
downdraft  
system  
All models have a remote raise/lower pad.  
The raise/lower pad location may vary.  
Use the selector switch to turn the blower ON,  
OFF or to change the blower speed.  
The vent may be lowered by again pressing  
the raise/lower pad. The blower, if left on, will  
automatically go off when the vent is lowered.  
NOTE: For most convenient operation, set the  
blower to the speed you use most often. The  
blower will come on to this speed whenever  
the unit is raised.  
Use the selector switch to turn the blower on or off  
or to change the blower speed.  
CAUTION: Be careful when raising or  
lowering the downdraft. Be sure pots,  
pot handles and other objects are clear of the  
downdraft and cannot be struck or tipped by  
the downdraft being raised.  
When using  
the downdraft  
system…  
ATTENTION : Faites attention quand  
vous soulevez ou abaissez le rabattant de  
ventilation. Assurez-vous que des casseroles,  
des manches de casseroles et d’autres objets ne  
gênent pas le rabattant et ne puissent pas être  
frappés ou renversés quand vous soulevez le  
rabattant.  
NOTE: There is a slight trim overhang at each  
end of the vent.  
To avoid injury, be sure fingers are clear of  
the downdraft cover when it is being lowered.  
Be careful when raising or lowering the downdraft.  
Keep hands and fingers away from all  
downdraft parts.  
Cooking tips  
The high air movement of this downdraft  
system can increase the cooking times for some or the oil is at frying temperatures before

For best results when heating oil for deep  
frying or when boiling water, use the front  
Canning  
When canning foods in a water-bath canner,  
a gentle but steady boil must be maintained  
continuously for the required time.  
Use of the blower at HI speed when canning  
may reduce the temperature enough to stop  
boiling. While canning, we recommend using  
the downdraft at LO speed and using the front  
surface unit.  
When canning foods in a pressure canner, the  
pressure must be maintained continuously for  
the required time.

Care and Cleaning  
Downdraft Vent System  
Grease filters  
The efficiency of your downdraft depends on a  
clean filter. Frequency of cleaning depends on the  
type of cooking you do. Grease filters should be  
cleaned at least once a month. Never operate the  
downdraft without the filters in place.  
To remove: Pull the filters out by grasping them  
and pulling straight up.  
To clean: Soak and then agitate in a hot detergent  
solution. Light brushing may be used to remove  
embedded soil. Rinse, shake and remove moisture  
before replacing.  
With careful handling, the filter will last for years.  
If replacement becomes necessary, order the part  
from your dealer.  
Do not use a steel-wool pad; it will scratch  
the surface.  
Painted or  
stainless steel  
surfaces  
To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm  
sudsy water, a stainless steel cleaner such as  
Kleen King®, or an all-purpose liquid or spray  
cleaner. Always scrub in the direction of the  
grain. Rinse thoroughly with a sponge or cloth  
and clean water. Dry with a soft, clean cloth.  
After cleaning, use a stainless steel polish, such  
as Stainless Steel Magic®, Revere Copper and  
Stainless Steel Cleaner®, or Wenol All Purpose  
Metal Polish®. Follow the product instructions  
for cleaning the stainless steel surface.
