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
