The Thermador Universal Cook'n'Vent ®

when not in use.
There are five primary parts of the
downdraft system: the intake, the
UP/DOWN button, the blower, the blower
speed control switch, the filter and the filter
release lever.
Intake
The intake, when raised, captures and
channels the cooking odors, steam and
grease. The filters are located within the
intake.
UP/DOWN Button
The UP/DOWN Button is located on the top
right of the intake. Press the Button once to
raise or lower the intake. It is not necessary
to hold the Button.
Blower
The blower is the fan that draws the
cooking odors out of the house.
Blower Speed Control Switch
The blower speed control switch is located
on the right front of the intake. The intake
must be raised in order to use the control
switch. There are four blower speed
settings: Off, Low, Medium, and High. Slide
the switch to the desired setting.
Filters
The filters are located on the front of the
intake. They condense and trap the grease
in the air.
Filter Release Levers
The filter release levers are used to remove
the filters. Pull out on the lever then pull up
and out on the filter.
Snorkel Up/Down

Up/Down moves the

For Best Results
Turn the blower on before starting to
cook.
A higher heat setting may be needed
when the downdraft is in operation.
Use a rear burner when browning or pan
frying meat.
Open a window or inside door slightly.
Clean the filters and the wall behind the
filters frequently.
For Gas Cooktops, a lower blower
speed should be used if:
• the gas flame is being distorted by
the air movement.
• the burner continually sparks (clicks).
• the burner flame repeatedly blows
out.
To Raise the Intake
Press the control push-button once to
raise the intake.
The intake will stop automatically at its
maximum height.
The blower will automatically turn on to
the previously set blower speed.
To Set or Adjust Blower Speed
Vary the blower speed as needed for the
food or the cooking method being used.
For example: greasy or pungent foods
require greater ventilation power than
boiling pasta. Turn the button clockwise
to adjust the speed.
