Check Operation
1. Remove the vent filter shipping bracket screws and bracket.
2. Push and hold the button on the top of the downdraft vent for
a few seconds. The retractable section of the downdraft vent
will rise, and the blower will start. Position the top trim over the
retractable section and snap trim into place.
Trim kits for matching your cooktop color are available from
your dealer.
For information on ordering, see the “Assistance or Service”
section.
3. Slide the control slider on the side of vent to check the
operation and speed of the blower.
4. If the blower does not operate:
■ Check that filter or filters are pressed in as far as they will
go.
■ Check that the circuit breaker has not tripped or a
household fuse blown.
■ Check downdraft vent fuse located under power board.
5. Connect vent system to blower. Vent system must end with a
wall or roof cap. Use clamps to seal all joints.

Check that rear of cooktop overlaps edge of retractable
downdraft vent by ³⁄₈" (9.5 mm). See “Countertop Cutout
