Downdraft Ventilation System

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 LOW, MED (medium) or HIGH. 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 ½" (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.

■ On ceramic glass models, use only flat-bottomed canners.

■ For more information, contact your local agricultural

department. Companies that manufacture home canning

products can also offer assistance.

Cookware

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.

A. Vent grille

B. Plenum chamber

C. Removable grease filter

D. Ceramic glass top
