17VENT SYSTEM USEThe retractable downdraft vent system is designed to removesmoke, cooking vapors, and odors from the cooktop area.■ For best results, the vent should be operating before cookingis started.■ If you use large or tall utensils, place them on the large rearelement or burner surface.■ A higher heat setting than normally used may be neededwhen the downdraft vent is operating.■ For gas cooktops, the downdraft vent system may affectthe flame stability and cooking performance. To improvethe burner performance, either decrease the downdraft ventblower speed or increase the cooktop burner flame setting.■ For gas cooktops with flame-sensing ignitions, the downdraftvent system may disperse the flame away from the sparkigniter and may cause it to continually spark while trying toreignite a burner that is already lit.
