PLANNING
Due to its flexible design, this downdraft system can be used to
exhaust airborne contaminants when cooking with a variety of gas
or electric cooking appliances - including cooktops, rangetops,
slide-in ranges and free-standing ranges.
It can be mounted in island, peninsula, or conventional wall
locations. The blower (purchase separately) and electrical panel
can be mounted to the downdraft unit, inside the cabinet, or in a
convenient remote location.
This unit can be easily installed following these basic steps:
• Cut out the countertop opening.
• Mount the unit in the cabinet.
• Install the blower and electrical panel.
• Connect the ductwork and electrical.
• Install the trim.
• Install the cooking appliance.
Note: the high level of air flow of this appliance may effect the
gas flame on some types of gas cooktops. This is NORMAL and
will cause no harm, but can be corrected by lowering the speed
of the blower.
A cooktop sealing kit is recommended for use with all gas
cooktops. The kit creates a seal between the cooktop and
the lower cabinet. Includes trim bracket and trim seal. See
"OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES".
ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Model PF6 - Internal Flex:
120 VAC • 60 Hz • 3.0 A
Models EB6, EB9, EB12, or EB15 - Exterior
Models ILB3, ILB6, ILB9 or ILB11 - In-Line
120 VAC • 60 Hz • 6.0 A (max.)
TAKE MEASUREMENTS
1. Refer to the cooktop installation instructions for dimensions
of cooktop, countertop cut-out, and cabinet requirements.
However, it is recommended that oversized cabinets be used
for easier installation. Custom island designs need to account
for deeper cabinets - especially when installed with a range
in front of the downdraft or when mounting the blower behind
the downdraft. You must also plan for an access door.
2. Cooktop depth can vary greatly from one to another. This may
cause the fit of these two appliances to be rather tight.
Pay special attention to the areas of potential interference high-
lighted above. A countertop with (A) a raised lip and/or (B) a
backsplash may not allow enough flat countertop for a proper
installation. Note that 2-3/4" of flat countertop is required behind
cooktop and that 2-1/2" is necessary between the back edge of
the cooktop and the inside of cabinet back.

C = 8" Round, Down Discharge out of Flex Blower
(Electrical Panel to be mounted remotely)
D = 1-7/8" x 19", Left Discharge out of Housing to
Remote Blower or Flex Blower in remote location.
Use 1-7/8" x 19" to 8" round transition, 1-7/8" x 19" to
10" round transition, or 1-7/8" x 19" ductwork
as appropriate.
E = 1-7/8" x 19", Right Discharge out of Housing to
Remote Blower or Flex Blower in remote location.
Use 1-7/8" x 19" to 8" round transition, 1-7/8" x 19" to
10" round transition, or 1-7/8" x 19" ductwork
as appropriate.
F = 1-7/8" x 19", Rear Discharge out of Housing to
Remote Blower or Flex Blower in remote location.
Use 1-7/8" x 19" to 8" round transition, 1-7/8" x 19" to
10" round transition, or 1-7/8" x 19" ductwork
as appropriate.
2. For best performance: Choose the ducting option which allows
the shortest length of ductwork and a minimum number of
elbows and transitions. Check location of floor joists, wall
studs, electrical wiring or plumbing for possible interference.

PLAN THE WIRING
1. This downdraft blower using the Flex Blower (purchase
separately) draws 3.0 Amps and requires a 120 VAC, 60 Hz
circuit. If using a remote blower (purchase separately), the
system draws 6.0 Amps (max.) and requires a 120 VAC, 60
Hz circuit.
2. The unit has a 30 in. long power cord with a 3-pronged plug.
Plan to provide a grounded outlet in a location which will allow
the unit’s power cord to reach.
3. Install electrical box according to local codes.

Cooking
Always turn the downdraft blower on before you begin cooking
to establish an air flow in the kitchen. Let the blower run for a few
minutes to clean the air after you turn the cooktop off. This will
keep the whole kitchen cleaner and brighter.
It is recommended to use the rear burners when cooking with tall
pots or when the cooking method will generate high amounts of
smoke or steam. The combination of using the rear burners and
operating the unit at high speed will increase the likelihood that
all the smoke and steam will be removed by the downdraft.
WARNING: Always disconnect electric power
supply before cleaning and/or servicing unit.

consumer purchaser.
No Other Warranties: This Limited Warranty contains the Company’s sole obligation
and your sole remedy for defective products. The foregoing warranties are exclusive
and in lieu of any other warranties, express or implied. THE COMPANY DISCLAIMS AND
EXCLUDES ALL OTHER EXPRESS WARRANTIES, AND DISCLAIMS AND EXCLUDES
ALL WARRANTIES IMPLIED BY LAW, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THOSE OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. To the extent that
applicable law prohibits the exclusion of implied warranties, the duration of any applicable
implied warranty is limited to the period specified for the express warranty above. Some
states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above
limitation may not apply to you. Any oral or written description of the Product is for the
sole purpose of identifying it and shall not be construed as an express warranty.
Whenever possible, each provision of this Limited Warranty shall be interpreted in such
manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision is held to
be prohibited or invalid, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such
prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the other
remaining provisions of the Limited Warranty.
Remedy: During the applicable limited warranty period, the Company will, at its option,
provide replacement parts for, or repair or replace, without charge, any Product or part
thereof, to the extent the Company finds it to be covered by and in breach of this limited
warranty under normal use and service. The Company will ship the repaired or replaced
Product or replacement parts to you at no charge. You are responsible for all costs for
removal, reinstallation and shipping, insurance or other freight charges incurred in the
shipment of the Product or part to the Company. If you must send the Product or part
to the Company, as instructed by the Company, you must properly pack the Product or
part—the Company is not responsible for damage in transit. The Company reserves the
right to utilize reconditioned, refurbished, repaired or remanufactured Products or parts in
the warranty repair or replacement process. Such Products and parts will be comparable
in function and performance to an original Product or part and warranted for the remainder
of the original warranty period.

SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE OBLIGATION. THE COMPANY SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR
INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR
IN CONNECTION WITH THE PRODUCT, ITS USE OR PERFORMANCE.

damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. This warranty gives
you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights, which vary from state to state.
This warranty covers only replacement or repair of defective Products or parts thereof at
the Company’s main facility and does not include the cost of field service travel and living
expenses.
Any assistance the Company provides to or procures for you outside the terms, limitations
or exclusions of this limited warranty will not constitute a waiver of such terms, limitations
or exclusions, nor will such assistance extend or revive the warranty.
The Company will not reimburse you for any expenses incurred by you in repairing or
replacing any defective Product, except for those incurred with the Company’s prior written
permission.
