IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
■ Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have questions, contact the manufacturer.
■ Before servicing or cleaning the unit, switch power off at service panel and lock the service disconnecting means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.
■ Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated construction.
■ Do not operate any fan with a damaged cord or plug. Discard fan or return to an authorized service facility for examination and/or repair.
■ Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment to prevent backdrafting. Follow the heating equipment manufacturer's guideline and safety standards such as those published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local code authorities.
■ When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling; do not damage electrical wiring and other utilities.
■ Ducted fans must always be vented outdoors.
CAUTION: For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.
CAUTION: To reduce risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, be sure to duct air outside - do not vent exhaust air into spaces within walls or ceilings, attics or into crawl spaces, or garages.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, USE ONLY METAL DUCTWORK.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:
■ Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.
■ Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambeing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).
■ Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
■ Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the surface element.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING: ^a
■ SMOTHER FLAMES with a close fitting lid, cookie sheet, or metal tray, then turn off the burner. BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If the flames do not go out immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
■ NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN - you may be burned.
■ DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels - a violent steam explosion will result.
■ Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
- You know you have a class ABC extinguisher, and you already know how to operate it.
- The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.
– The fire department is being called. - You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
^a Based on "Kitchen Fire Safety Tips" published by NFPA.
■ WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not use this fan with any solid-state speed control device.

Venting Requirements
IMPORTANT: Make sure there is proper clearance within the wall or floor before making exhaust vent cutouts.
■ Use heavy (rigid) metal vent.
■ Venting system must terminate to the outside.
■ Do not terminate the vent system in an attic or other enclosed area.
■ Do not use 4" (10.2 cm) laundry-type wall caps.
■ Do not install 2 elbows together.
■ Do not use plastic or metal foil vent.
■ The length of vent system and number of elbows should be kept to a minimum to provide efficient performance.
■ Use no more than three 90° elbows
■ Make sure there is a minimum of 24" (61 cm) of straight vent between the elbows if more than one elbow is used.
■ Use clamps or duct tape to seal all joints in the vent system.
■ Use caulking tape to seal the exterior wall or floor opening around cap.
■ Do not cut joist or stud. If vent cutout falls over a joist or stud, a supporting frame must be constructed.
Flexible metal vent is not recommended. If it is used, calculate each foot of flexible vent as 2 ft (0.6 m) of rigid metal vent.
Flexible elbows count twice as much as standard elbows.
Recommended vent system length:
For either interior-mounted or exterior-mounted blower installations, the vent system length should not exceed the maximum lengths listed in the Maximum Length of Vent System chart. See “Calculating Vent System Length” in the “Venting Methods” section in the Installation Instructions.
Cold Weather Installations
An additional back draft damper should be installed to minimize backward cold air flow and a thermal break should be installed to minimize conduction of outside temperatures as part of the vent system. The damper should be on the cold air side of the thermal break.
The break should be as close as possible to where the vent system enters the heated portion of the house.
Makeup Air
Local building codes may require the use of makeup air systems when using ventilation systems greater than specified CFM of air movement. The specified CFM varies from locale to locale.
Consult your HVAC professional for specific requirements in your area.

- Slide the control slider on the side of vent to check the operation and speed of the blower.

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. -
Connect vent system to blower. Vent system must end with a wall or roof cap. Use clamps or duct tape to seal all joints.
- Install cooktop according to manufacturer's instructions. Check that rear of cooktop overlaps edge of retractable downdraft vent by 38 (9.5 mm). See "Countertop Cutout Dimensions" in the "Location Requirements" section.
NOTE: To get the most efficient use from your new retractable downdraft vent, read the "Vent System Use" section.
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.
Operating Downdraft Vent
To Use:
- Push and hold the button on top of downdraft vent for a few seconds. (This slight delay helps avoid unintentional raising of the vent during cleaning of the cooktop area.) Retractable section of downdraft vent will rise. Blower will begin to vent immediately if blower control knob slider is set to an "On" position.
- Slide the control slider on the right-hand side of the downdraft vent to adjust the blower motor speed.
When Cooking Is Complete:
- Push the button on top of the retractable downdraft vent. The blower will turn off, and the retractable section of the vent will return to the closed position.
NOTE: If a spill occurs on the cooktop that allows liquids to seep inside the downdraft vent, you must turn the downdraft vent off immediately. It is possible to cause damage to the downdraft vent if water is allowed inside the downdraft vent while it is operating.
- Immediately turn off the downdraft vent at the speed control located on the right-hand side of the downdraft vent.
- Turn off the power supply to the downdraft vent at the circuit breaker box or fuse box.
- Allow plenty of time for the downdraft vent to dry naturally. Do not open the downdraft vent to remove the water.
VENT SYSTEM CARE
Surface of Downdraft Vent
To avoid damaging the finish, clean downdraft vent with soap and water. Do not use scouring powder or abrasive solutions.
Exterior Surfaces:
■ To avoid damage to the exterior surface, do not use steel wool or soap-filled scouring pads.
■ Always wipe dry to avoid water marks.
Cleaning Method:
■ Liquid detergent soap and water, or all-purpose cleanser
■ Wipe with damp soft cloth or nonabrasive sponge, then rinse with clean water and wipe dry.
Filters
Frequently remove and clean the filter(s) in the retractable section of the downdraft vent. This will improve the operating efficiency of the downdraft vent system.
To Replace:
- Remove each filter by pulling the spring release handle and then pulling down the filter.
- Wash metal filters as needed in dishwasher or hot detergent solution.
- Reinstall the filter by making sure the spring release handles are toward the front. Insert metal grease filter into upper track.
- Pull the spring release handle down.
- Push up on metal filter and release handle to latch into place.
- Repeat steps 1-5 for the other filter.
To Clean:
- Remove the filter(s) and clean them in a dishwasher or in a hot detergent solution. The downdraft vent will not operate when the filters are not in place.
- Dry the clean filter(s) and reinstall, making sure that they lock into place.
If Retractable Downdraft Vent Does Not Operate After Clean Filters Have Been Installed:
Push the filter in as far as it will go. When the filter is removed, the microswitch behind the filter is inactivated. This feature will not allow the vent system to operate until the filter is properly installed.
