Using Your Cooktop
Contmued
Using the vent system
Using the cooktop's built-in downdraft vent fan
removes cooking vapors, odor and smoke.
The fan will automatically
operate at HIGH
speed when the grill module is in use. The fan
cannot be manually turned off when the grill
module is operating.
When using surface units, turn the Vent Fan
Control Knob clockwise to HIGH or LOW. Use
HIGH only when doing cooking that produces
significant cooking vapors, odor and smoke. You
will hear a click when the fan comes on. Turn
counterclockwise
to turn the fan OFF.
The fan filters must be in place for the fan to
operate properly.
