This cooking center has a built-in exhaust system
equipped with a damper, a two-speed exhaust blower
and removable filters. Exhaust openings are located
over the cooktop and in the hood over the oven.
The exhaust system functions only when the blower is
operating. The switch for the exhaust system is beneath
the control panel. For high speed, push switch once; for
low speed, push switch twice; and to stop blower, push
switch once in sequence.
When the blower is operating and the hood over the
upper oven is closed, it exhausts over the surface units
only. When the blower operates with the hood in the
open position, it exhausts through openings over the
surface units and over the oven at the same time.
Filters
Two filters are located over the cooktop and one
behind the hood extension. The filters are removable
for cleaning.
Filters become soiled over a period of time. The
efficiency of your exhaust system depends on how
clean the filters are. Frequency of cleaning, or
replacing, depends on the type of cooking you do,
but filters should be cleaned AT LEAST ONCE A
MONTH. Clean the grease-laden surfaces adjacent
to the filters frequently.
To clean, agitate in a solution of hot water and
detergent. Light brushing may be used to help
remove embedded soil and dust. With careful use
and handling, the filters will last for years. However,
if replacement becomes necessary, obtain a filter from
your dealer.
Motor
The blower motor is permanently lubricated; it does not need oiling.
