Reconnect power. Check Operation 1. Push and hold the button on the top of the downdraft vent for a few seconds. The retractable section of the downdraft vent will rise, and the blower will start. Position the top trim over the retractable section and snap trim into place. Trim kits for matching your cooktop color are available from your dealer. For information on ordering, see the "Assistance or Service" section. B A C 2. Slide the control slider on the side of vent to check the operation and speed of the blower. 3. If the blower does not operate: ■ Check that filter or filters are pressed in as far as they will go. ■ Check that the circuit breaker has not tripped or a household fuse blown. 4. Connect vent system to blower. Vent system must end with a wall or roof cap. Use clamps or duct tape to seal all joints. 5. Install cooktop according to manufacturer's instructions. Check that rear of cooktop overlaps edge of retractable downdraft vent by ³⁄₈" (9.5 mm). See "Countertop Cutout Dimensions" in the "Location Requirements" section.

Filters 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. 14
