DCS DD-30SS Use & Care Information, To Operate The Downdraft, Cleaning, Use With Gas Cooktops

USE & CARE INFORMATION

This vent system is designed to remove smoke, cooking vapors and odors from the cooktop area. This unit also has several features to insure operator safety.

TO OPERATE THE DOWNDRAFT

Push the Up/Down button on top of the Downdraft to raise the plenum as indicated. The speed control knob is located on the right hand side of the plenum. Press the Up/Down button to lower the unit. The Up/Down button must be pressed and held momentarily to raise or lower the plenum. This is a safety feature which protects against accidental activation when cleaning the plenum. For best results, start the Downdraft before cooking and allow the unit to operate for several minutes after cooking is complete to clear all smoke and odors from the kitchen. If using large pots, place them on the rear burner to insure proper ventilation. A higher fan setting may be required.

CLEANING

The metal grease filters should be cleaned frequently in hot detergent solution or washed in the dishwasher. The plenum and top strip should be cleaned with stainless steel cleaner. Abrasives and scouring agents can scratch stainless steel finishes and should not be used.

USE WITH GAS COOKTOPS

The DCS Downdraft Vent System is designed for safe use with gas cooktops and will not extinguish burners or pilots. The blower does not start operation until the plenum has reached the full upright position. Also, the blower stops operation as soon as the Up/Down switch is pressed to lower the unit.

WARNING:

If a spill occurs on the cooktop that allows liquids to seep inside the Downdraft, you must turn the Downdraft off immediately. It is possible to cause damage to the Downdraft if water is allowed inside the Downdraft while it is operating.

■Immediately turn “OFF” the Downdraft at the speed control located on the right hand side of the Downdraft.

■Turn “OFF” the power supply to the Downdraft at the circuit breaker box or fuse box.

■Allow plenty of time for the Downdraft to dry naturally. Do not open the Downdraft to remove the water. Failure to follow these warnings could result in damage to the Downdraft.

SAFETY MICROSWITCHES

This Downdraft Vent System is designed with a safety microswitch behind the center of each grease filter. These microswitches prevent the blower and plenum-raising mechanism from operating when either of the grease filters is removed. It is very important to make sure that the grease filters are properly and firmly in place after cleaning. If the unit does not operate after replacing the grease filters, make sure the filters are properly installed and are making firm contact with the safety microswitches.
