EXHAUST
SYSTEM
This cooking cemer has a built-in exhaust system
equipped with a damper, a two-speed
exhaust blower
and removable
filters. Exhaust openings are located
over the cooktop and in the hood over the oven.
The exhaust system functions only when the blower is
operating.
The switch for the exhaust system is beneath
the control palM. For high speed, push switch once; for
low speed, push switch twice; and to stop blower, push
switch once in sequence.
When the blower is operating and the hood over the
upper oven is closed, it exhausts over the surt:ace units
only. When the blower operates with the hood in the
open position, it exhausts through openings
over the
surface units and over tile oven at the same time.

the hood; to close, push down on the handle. Use the
hood in its fully extended position whenever vapor or
smoke results from cooking, such as when pall broiling
or flTing on the surface units. See infornmtion
on the

Filters
Two filters are located over the cooktop and one
behind the hood extension. The filters are removable
for cleaning.
Filters become soiled over a period of time. The
efficiency
of your exhaust system depends on how
clean the filters are. Frequency of cleaning, or
replacing, depends on the type of cooking you do,
but filters should be cleaned AT LEAST ONCE A
MONTH.
Clean the grease-laden
surfaces
adjacent
to the filters fl_equently.
To clean, agitate in a solution of hot water and
detergent. Light brushing
nmy be used to help
remove embedded
soil and dust With careful use
aim handling, the filters will last for years. However,
if replacement
becomes necessaw,
obtain a filter from
your dealer.
