Downdraft Ventilation System

A. Vent grille
B. Removable grease filter
C. Ceramic glass top
NOTE: Electronic touch control model is shown.
The downdraft ventilation system consists of a vent cover, filter,
and vent fan. The downdraft ventilation system removes cooking
vapors, odors, and smoke from foods prepared on the cooktop.
IMPORTANT: For optimal performance, operate the downdraft
ventilation system with the filter properly installed.
To avoid the buildup of grease, the filter should be cleaned often.
For more information on proper filter placement and cleaning, see
"Downdraft Ventilation System" in the "General Cleaning" section.
To Use – Electronic Touch Control:
1. Touch 3 SPEED once for High mode, twice for Medium mode,
or three times for Low mode. A beep will sound each time
3 Speed is touched.
2. When cooking is completed, touch OFF to turn the
downdraft system off, or touch and hold 3 SPEED for
approximately 4 seconds to set the downdraft ventilation
system to Automatic mode. In Automatic mode, the
downdraft ventilation system will shut off automatically
after 10 minutes.
To Use – Knob Control:
Turn vent fan knob to LO, or HI, or to the midpoint for Medium.
Turn vent fan knob to OFF when finished cooking or when the
cooktop is not in use.

Home Canning

When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface
cooking areas, elements, or surface burners between batches.
This allows time for the most recently used areas to cool.
Center the canner on the grate or largest surface cooking area or
■
element. On electric cooktops, canners should not extend more
than / " (1.3 cm) beyond the surface cooking area or element.

Do not place canner on 2 surface cooking areas, elements,
■
or surface burners at the same time.
Use only flat-bottomed canners.
■
For more information, contact your local agricultural
■
department. Companies that manufacture home canning
products can also offer assistance.

COOKTOP USE

IMPORTANT: Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface
cooking area, element, or surface burner.
Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides, and a
well-fitting lid and the material should be of medium-to-heavy
thickness.
Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop. Aluminum and copper
may be used as a core or base in cookware. However, when used
as a base, they can leave permanent marks on the cooktop or
grates.
Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and evenly heat is
transferred which affects cooking results. A nonstick finish has
the same characteristics as its base material. For example,
aluminum cookware with a nonstick finish will take on the
properties of aluminum.
Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material
characteristics.
