General Safety Precautions

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury or death when using your appliance, follow basic safety precau-tions, including the following:

WARNING

• If you receive a damaged product, immediately contact your dealer or builder. Do not install or operate this unit if it has been damaged, dropped, has damaged electrical wiring or is not working properly.
• Use this downdraft vent only for its intended purpose as outlined in this use and care manual. Do not use this unit to vent hazardous or explosive materials or vapors. This unit is not intended for commercial use. If you have any questions, contact Dacor.
• This downdraft vent must be installed by a qualified installer according to the accompanying installation instructions. All installation work must be performed in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated construction.
• Keep all packaging materials away from children. Plastic bags can cause suffocation.
• Do not install, repair or replace any part of this unit unless specifically recommended in the literature accompanying it. A qualified service technician should perform all other service. Contact the Dacor Customer Service Team for examination, repair or adjustment.
• Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment to prevent back drafting. Follow the heating equipment manufacturer’s guidelines and safety standards such as those published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) and the local code authorities.
• Before performing any type of cleaning or service, make sure that the power plug for the downdraft vent is disconnected from the electrical outlet.
• Do not leave children or pets alone or unattended in the area around the range when it is in use. Never allow children to sit or stand on an appliance. Do not let children play with a range or the downdraft vent.
• Do not store items of interest to children above or around the range.
• Make sure individuals who use the range or cooktop and downdraft vent are able to operate it properly.

WARNING

• Never leave a cooktop or range unattended during use.
• This appliance is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug for your protection against possible electric shock hazards. It must be plugged into a dedicated, grounded electrical outlet. Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it is the responsibility of the customer to have it replaced with a dedicated, properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle. Do not under any circumstances:
  • Cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
  • Use an adapter plug.
  • Use an extension cord.
  • Use a power cord that is frayed or damaged.
  • Use of a ground fault interrupter (GFI) is not recommended.
• Do not tamper with the controls.
• To Reduce The Risk of a Range Top Grease Fire:
  • Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boil-overs cause smoking and greasy spill-overs that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.
  • Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambéing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe’).
  • Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
  • Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the surface element.
• DO NOT TOUCH THE SURFACES OF THE  DOWNDRAFT VENT OR RANGE DURING OR IMMEDIATELY AFTER USE.
• Never operate the vent without the filters in place.

WARNING

• Do not operate the blower if a flame or flare-up develops. In the event of a flame, immediately turn off the blower. Smother the flame or use an appropriate class dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
• To prevent spillage and damage to the vent system, before operation, turn cookware handles to the side so that they will not be hit the vent when it moves to the “up” position.
• Do not set or rest any objects, including cookware, on top of the vent top cap. Do not interfere with the movement of the vent intake in any way.
• Clean liquid spills immediately. If liquid enters the vent intake, then turn off the blower, disconnect the power supply and carefully wipe up all liquid. See the Care and Cleaning section of this manual.
• Do not try to remove heavy spills with a sharp object such as a knife or metal spatula. Sharp objects may scratch the appliance’s surfaces.
• Do not allow acids (citrus juices, tomato sauces, etc.) to remain on the unit’s surfaces. The finish may stain.
• Clean this appliance only as instructed in this manual. Use only the cleaners specified.
• If the vent intake becomes jammed while being raised or lowered, immediately press the Up/Down switch once to stop the intake motion, then disconnect the power cord. Remove the obstruction, reconnect the power plug and press the Up/Down switch to continue raising or lowering the intake.

Operating Your Downdraft Vent

Operation
IMPORTANT
The direction of travel of the vent intake cannot be reversed while it is moving. The intake must complete a full up or down cycle before changing directions.

• To operate the downdraft vent, press the switch located on the top cap when the vent intake is in the down position. The intake will take approximately 10 seconds to reach its uppermost position, where it will stop.
• Once in the “up” position, the blower will turn on at the speed at which the variable speed control was set when the intake was last lowered. The blower speed may be adjusted by turning the variable speed con-trol. The blower speed may be adjusted whenever the vent intake is in the fully raised position.
• Turn the blower off by pressing the Up/Down switch again. Pressing the switch shuts off the blower and lowers the vent intake.

Operating Tips

• Activate the downdraft vent a few minutes before starting to cook to establish an airflow pattern in the room.
• Adjust the fan speed according to the volume of the cooking exhaust.
• Reduce the fan speed if the flame on a gas cooktop is being drawn by the vent system. Drawing of the flame is a normal occurrence with powerful vent systems, especially when installed with short duct runs.
• Always raise the vent intake and activate the blower whenever using the cooktop.
• Eliminate air currents in the vent vicinity by shut-ting nearby windows and doors, turning off ceiling fans and closing adjacent heating and air conditioning outlets.
• Place your largest frying pans, skillets and stock pots on the rear burners whenever possible, as the draft is strongest closest to the vent intake.

3. Pull the top of the filter out toward the front of the unit, then pull up.
