2.Dry the clean filter(s) and reinstall, making sure that they lock into place.

If Retractable Downdraft Vent Does Not Operate After Clean Filters Have Been Installed:

Push the filter in as far as it will go. When the filter is removed, the microswitch behind the filter is inactivated. This feature will not allow the vent system to operate until the filter is properly installed.
