About this model

It is a downdraft vent, and that is all. For a wider look at hoods, downdrafts and integrated ventilation, see the Dacor hood and ventilation guide.

Problems that bring calls

• The vent will not rise when you press the control.
• The fan starts but the vent stays down.
• Smoke from the front burners escapes past the vent.
• The riser moves with a scrape or jerk.
• The vent drops back down by itself.

We explain the likely reasons in our article on a downdraft vent that will not rise.

Built into the counter

A downdraft is installed beside a cooktop or rangetop with a duct running below it. The space under the counter is crowded with the duct, the mechanism and the cabinetry, and the way it was cut can affect how the vent travels. A remodel that changed the countertop thickness or added a backsplash can leave the riser catching on something. Because the duct normally leaves through the floor or a back wall, long runs and bends reduce airflow, and in older buildings the run may be tight. The visit includes the duct, not just the vent itself.

What owners can check

1. Confirm power at the breaker.
2. Check the slot for crumbs, utensils or sticky spills.
3. Clean the filters or grilles you can reach without tools.
4. Cycle the control once and note whether the motor sounds or stays silent.

Never put a hand into the slot while the vent is powered. If anything smells burnt, turn the circuit off.
