The built-in ventilation system removes cooking vapors, odors, smoke and steam from foods prepared on the cooktop. Regular use of this system will insure a more comfortable and less humid kitchen which is free of heavy cooking odors and fumes that normally create a frequent need for cleaning and redecorating.
� The fan control is located at the front of the control panel. To operate the ventilation system manually+ turn the fan control knob clockwise. The variable speed fan can be operated at an infinite number of settings. � Besides using the ventilation system to remove cooking vapors and 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 pulted over the item will quickly cool )t. Be careful not to cover the entire air grille.
� The fan can be used to remove strong odors from the kitchen as when chopping onions near the fan.

Important: DO NOT OPERATE SYSTEM WITHOUT FILTER. Filter should always be placed at an angle. As you face the front of the cooktop, the bottom of the fitter should rest on the ledge on the right side. The top of the firtershourd rest against the left side. There are also ledges on the front and rear sides for the filter to rest. (Note: If filter is flat against the fan wall, ventilation effectiveness is reduced.)
