Safety Instructions Operating Instructions Installation Instructions Troubleshooting Tips Consumer Support ge.com Cooking Tips The high air movement of this downdraft system can increase the cooking times for some foods. It may take longer to reach high cooking temperatures if the downdraft is turned to high right away. Adjust the fan speed for best cooking results. For best results when heating oil for deep frying or when boiling water, use the front surface units or wait until the water is boiling or the oil is at frying temperatures before turning on the downdraft. The downdraft may not completely capture all the steam from pans on the front burners. Canning When canning foods in a water-bath canner, a gentle but steady boil must be maintained continuously for the required time. When canning foods in a pressure canner, the pressure must be maintained continuously for the required time. Use of the blower at HIGH speed when canning may reduce the temperature enough to stop boiling. While canning, we recommend using the downdraft at LOW speed and using the front surface unit. Care and cleaning of the downdraft system. Grease Filters The efficiency of your downdraft depends on a clean filter. Frequency of cleaning depends on the type of cooking you do. Grease filters should be cleaned at least once a month. Never operate the downdraft without the filters in place. To remove: Pull the filters out by grasping them and pulling straight up. To clean: Soak and then agitate in a hot detergent solution. Light brushing may be used to remove embedded soil. Rinse, shake and remove moisture before replacing. Filters may also be cleaned in the dishwasher. With careful handling, the filter will last for years. If replacement becomes necessary, order the part from your dealer. Painted or Metal Surfaces Clean greasy surfaces frequently, using a mild detergent. Do not use abrasive cloth, steel wool pads or scouring powder because they will mar the surface. Stainless Steel Surfaces (on some models) Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch the surface. To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm sudsy water or a stainless steel cleaner or polish. Always wipe the surface in the direction of the grain. Follow the cleaner instructions for cleaning the stainless steel surface.
