Using the downdraft system.
Cooking Tips
The high air movement of this downdraft system can increase the cooking times for some foods. It may take longer to reach high cooking temperatures if the downdraft is turned to high right away. Adjust the fan speed for best cooking results.
For best results when heating oil for deep frying or when boiling water, use the front surface units or wait until the water is boiling or the oil is at frying temperatures before turning on the downdraft.
The downdraft may not completely capture all the steam from pans on the front burners.
Canning
When canning foods in a
When canning foods in a pressure canner, the pressure must be maintained continuously for the required time.
Use of the blower at HIGH speed when canning may reduce the temperature enough to stop boiling. While canning, we recommend using the downdraft at LOW speed and using the front surface unit.

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: Lift up and pull the bottom out. Remove the left filter first, then slide the right filter to the left and remove it.
To clean: Soak and then agitate in a hot detergent solution. Light brushing may be used to remove imbedded soil. Rinse, shake and remove moisture before replacing. Filters may be cleaned by placing in dishwasher, although some slight color fading may occur after several washings.
With careful handling, the filter will last for years. If replacement becomes necessary, order the part from your dealer.
