DOWNDRAFT VENT SYSTEM USE
The retractable downdraft vent system is designed to remove smoke, cooking vapors and odors from the cooktop area.
■For best results, the vent should be operating before cooking is started.
■If you use large or tall utensils, place them on the large rear element or burner surface.
■A higher heat setting than normally used may be needed when the downdraft vent is operating.
■For gas cooktops, the downdraft vent system may affect the flame stability and cooking performance. To improve the burner performance, either decrease the downdraft vent blower speed or increase the cooktop burner flame setting.
■For gas cooktops with flame sensing ignitions, the downdraft vent system may disperse the flame away from the spark igniter and may cause it to continually spark while trying to reignite a burner that is already lit. To resolve the issue of the cooktop igniter continuously sparking, either decrease the downdraft vent blower speed or increase the cooktop flame setting for that burner.
