DOWNDRAFT VENTILATION SYSTEM
Vent Grate
Cleaning Method:
■ Grasp the opening and lift the vent grille of the cooktop.
■ Wipe clean or wash in sink:
Nonabrasive plastic scrubbing pad and mildly abrasive
cleanser.
■ Dishwasher:
Use mild detergent.
Removable Grease Filter
The filter is a permanent type and should be cleaned when soiled.
Cleaning Method:
■ Turn off the downdraft ventilation system before removing
the filter.
■ Remove vent grate then lift the filter out of the vent chamber.
■ Clean the filter in the sink with warm water and detergent
or in the dishwasher.
■ Replace the filter.
The filter should always be placed at an angle. As you face
the front of the cooktop, the top of the filter should rest
against the left side of the vent opening. The bottom of the
filter should rest against the right side of the vent chamber at
the bottom.
If the filter is flat against the fan wall, ventilation effectiveness
will be reduced.
Ventilation Chamber
The ventilation chamber, which houses the filter, should be
cleaned in the event of spills or when it becomes coated with
a film of grease.
Cleaning Method:
■ Mild household detergent or cleanser and paper towel,
damp cloth, or sponge:
Apply detergent or cleanser to paper towel, damp cloth,
or sponge, not directly to the ventilation chamber.
