Operating Instructions

The downdraft vent system is designed to remove smoke, cooking vapors and odors from the cooktop area. For best results, the downdraft vent system should be operating before cooking is started and should continue to operate for several minutes after cooking is complete. If using large pots, place them on the rear burner to ensure proper ventilation, a higher fan setting may be required.

The flame sensing ignition on some gas cooktops may be affected by the downdraft by dispersing the flame away from the spark igniter. This may cause the spark to keep running while trying to reignite the burner that is already lit. To resolve this, and improve burner performance, decrease the fan speed or increase the burner setting, or both.
