Abstract

A gas surface range having a downdraft ventilation system with automatic shut off during ignition. A relay is activated by current flowing to the spark coil of the electrical igniter, and has contacts connected in series with the blower motor of the downdraft system. Thus, the downdraft system is disabled during attempted ignition, and is automatically enabled at the completion of ignition.
