Using the Downdraft System
Downdraft Vent System
To use the downdraft system
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.
All models have a remote raise/lower pad.
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.

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.

When canning foods in a pressure canner, the pressure 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.
