Ventilation System
The built-in ventilation systemremoves cooking vapors, odorsand smokefrom foods
preparedon the cooktop, grill and grill accessories.
Regularuse of this systemwill insure a more comfortable and lesshumid kitchen
which is free of heavy cooking odors and fumes that normally create a frequent
needfor cleaningand redecorating.
Using the Ventilation System

in front of the air grille.
• The ventilationsystem will operate automatica/ly when the grill element is
in use.
• Besidesusing the ventilation systemto remove cooking vaporsand fumes,
it can be used to cool baked pies, cakes or hot pans. To cool an item, set
it on the air grille and turn on the fan. The air being pulled over the item
will quicklycool it. Be careful notto coverthe entire air grille.
