Ventilation System
The built-in ventilation system removes cooking vapors, odors and smoke from foods
prepared on the cooktop, grill and grill accessories.
Regular use of this system will insure a more comfortable and less humid kitchen
which is free of heavy cooking odors and fumes that normally create a frequent
need for cleaning and redecorating.
Using the Ventilation System
• To operate the ventilation system manually, push
the three position VENTILATION AND OVEN LIGHT
SWITCH located in front of the air grille toward the
fan symbol. To turn the fan off, push the switch to
the middle position. If the switch is pushed toward
the light symbol, the oven light will be turned on.
• The ventilation system will operate automatically when the grill element is
in use.
• Besides using the ventilation system to remove cooking vapors and fumes,
it can be used to cool baked pies, cakes or hot cookpots. To cool an item,
set it on the air grille and turn on the fan. The air being pulled over the
item will quickly cool it. Be careful not to cover the oven vent or the entire
air grille.
• The fan can be used to remove strong odors from the kitchen as when
chopping onions near the fan.
Cleaning the Ventilation System
Air Grille: The air grille lifts off easily. Wipe clean or wash in sink with mild
household detergents. May be cleaned in dishwasher. NOTE: The oven vent is located
under the grille. When using or cleaning the oven, hot
and moist air may be noticed in this area. Be careful not
to spill anything into this vent.
Filter:
Turn off ventilation system before removing. The
filter is a permanent type and should be cleaned when
soiled. Clean in sink with warm water and liquid dishwash-
ing detergent or in dishwasher.
IMPORTANT: Filter should always be placed at an angle. As you face the front
of the range, the top of the filter should rest against the left side of the vent opening
and the bottom of the filter should rest against the right side of the ventilation
chamber at the bottom. DO NOT OPERATE SYSTEM WITHOUT FILTER.
Ventilation Chamber: This area, which houses the filter, should be cleaned
in the event of spills or whenever it becomes coated with a film of grease. May
be cleaned with paper towel, damp cloth or sponge and mild household detergent.
