RAISED INTAKE
The Blower ControlsThe Intake
The intake, when fully raised to 15”, captures
and channels the cooking odors, steam, and
grease.
Filters
The filters are located on the front of the intake. The
filters condense and trap the grease in the air. The 30”
and 36” models have 3 filters and the 45” models have
4 filters.
The Blower
The blower is the fan that draws the cooking odors
out of the house. A blower must be purchased
separately.
The blower controls are located on the right front of
the intake. The intake must be in the raised position to
operate the blower. When a control button is acti-
vated, it will be illuminated.

AUTO-STOP FEATURE
The downdraft system was designed with a
safety feature. If anything obstructs the
intake while it is being lowered, it will auto-
matically stop.
