Downdraft Ventilation System - KitchenAid 30 Guide D'utilisation Et D'entretien

For foods containing sugar in any form, clean up all spills and
■
soils as soon as possible. Allow the cooktop to cool down
slightly. Then, while wearing oven mitts, remove the spills
using a scraper while the surface is still warm. If sugary spills
are allowed to cool down, they can adhere to the cooktop and
can cause pitting and permanent marks.
To avoid scratches, do not slide cookware or bakeware across
■
the cooktop. Aluminum or copper bottoms and rough finishes
on cookware or bakeware could leave scratches or marks on
the cooktop.
Do not cook popcorn in prepackaged aluminum containers
■
on the cooktop. They could leave aluminum marks that
cannot be removed completely.
To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not allow objects that
■
could melt, such as plastic or aluminum foil, to touch any
part of the entire cooktop.
To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not use the cooktop
■
as a cutting board.
Use cookware about the same size as the surface cooking
■
area. Cookware should not extend more than ½" (1.3 cm)
outside the area.
A. Surface cooking area
B. Cookware/Canner
C. ½" (1.3 cm) maximum overhang
Use flat-bottomed cookware for best heat conduction and
■
energy efficiency. Cookware with rounded, warped, ribbed,
or dented bottoms could cause uneven heating and poor
cooking results.
Determine flatness by placing the straight edge of a ruler
■
across the bottom of the cookware. While you rotate the
ruler, no space or light should be visible between it and the
cookware.
Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans are clean and dry
■
before using them. Residue and water can leave deposits
when heated.
To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not cook foods directly
■
on the cooktop.

Downdraft Ventilation System

B
A. Vent grille
B. Plenum chamber
C. Removable grease filter
D. Ceramic glass top
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 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:
Turn vent fan knob to L (low), M (medium) or H (high). Turn vent
fan knob to OFF when finished cooking or when the cooktop is
not in use.
