Before you use your unit, you’ll want to perform a function test to verify it’s in working order. Do the following:

1. Turn the power switch to On.
2. Look to confirm that the unit is level and stable. You’ll also want to verify that nothing is obstructing the extraction path.
3. Listen closely to the motor and suction sound of unit. Are they within the expected noise limits? Is it louder or softer than expected?
4. By placing your hand on top of the unit, feel for any unexpected vibration. Place your hand in front of the intake surface to confirm the expected levels of suction.

Your Downdraft Booth comes equipped with a reverse pulse cleaning system that extends the life expectancy of your filter. The usable filter life will vary according to the application used, the particle size, density, humidity and oil. Generally, however, you can expect to change your filters every 6-18 months, if unit is pulsed on a regular basis.

Visual inspection of the filter is required as part of routine maintenance. Replace the filter if you find:

1. Accumulation or overloading of particles
2. Rips, tears or warping of material
3. You find that the table is not working properly due to excessive static build-up

If any of the above conditions apply, follow the below 8-step procedure to replace your filter:

1. Open cabinet door.
2. Unhook the barrel bolt latch that keeps your filter in place.
3. Slide used filter cartridge(s) out.
4. Inspect the cabinet interior for debris.
5. Open dust drawer and remove any material before replacing back into position.
6. Insert clean replacement filter(s).
7. Hook barrel bolt latch to keep filter(s) in place.
8. Close cabinet door.
