Blower (not shown)
The downdraft takes the place of an overhead hood
and can be conveniently hidden away (lowered)
when not in use.
There are five primary parts of the downdraft system:
the intake, the control button, the blower, the filter and
the filter release lever.
Intake
The intake, when raised, captures and channels the
cooking odors, steam and grease. The filters are
located within the intake.
Blower
The blower is the fan that draws the cooking odors
out of the house.
Control Button
The control button is located on the top right of the
intake. Press the Button once to raise or lower the
intake, it is not necessary to hold the button.
Turn the button clockwise to adjust the speed.
There are three speeds: low, medium, and high.
Filters
The filters are located on the front of the intake. They
condense and trap the grease in the air.
Filter Release Levers
The filter release levers are used to remove the filters.
Pull out on the lever then pull up and out on the filter.
