Features
The Downdraft Hood takes the place of an overhead hood
and can be conveniently hidden away (lowered) when
not in use. It has a blower fan that draws the cooking
byproducts into the intake housing, through two filters and
out of the house or recirculated back into the home with
the separate purchase of a recirculation kit.

Raised Intake Housing
The intake housing, when raised, captures and channels
the cooking odors, steam and grease from the cooktop
through two filters located within the intake housing.
The air is cleaned by the filters and conveyed to the
building exterior by a series of pipe ducts.
Note: Ventilation may not exit through an already
operational smoke or exhaust chimney, nor a duct used
for ventilating furnace installation areas.
If the ventilation is intended to pass through a smoke
or exhaust that is not in operation, the responsible area
heating inspector must give approval.
If the ventilation passes through an external wall, use a
telescopic wall sleeve.

The blower is also controlled by pressing or rotating the
control switch on the top right of the intake housing. The
blower has four settings: Off, Low, Medium, and High, and
will operate whenever the intake housing is in the raised
position.
Note: The intake housing can be lowered without turning
the blower switch to the Off position. Press the switch
button once to turn the fan Off and lower the intake
housing. Press the switch again and the intake housing
will raise and the blower will turn On to its previous
operating position.
Filters
The filters are located on the bottom of the intake
housing, behind the removable front panel. They
condense and trap the grease in the air. Filters include
protective film that must be removed before use.
