Jenn-Air W10197056B manual Troubleshooting, Removable Grease Filter, Ventilation Chamber

Removable Grease Filter

The filter is a permanent type and should be cleaned when soiled.

Cleaning Method:

■Turn off the downdraft ventilation system before removing the filter.

■Remove vent grate then lift the filter out of the vent chamber.

■Clean the filter in the sink with warm water and detergent or in the dishwasher.

■Replace the filter.

The filter should always be placed at an angle. As you face the front of the cooktop, the top of the filter should rest against the left side of the vent opening. The bottom of the filter should rest against the right side of the vent chamber at the bottom.

If the filter is flat against the fan wall, ventilation effectiveness will be reduced.

Ventilation Chamber

The ventilation chamber, which houses the filter, should be cleaned in the event of spills or when it becomes coated with a film of grease.

Cleaning Method:

■Mild household detergent or cleanser and paper towel, damp cloth or sponge:

Apply detergent or cleanser to paper towel, damp cloth or sponge, not directly to the ventilation chamber.
