Before You Begin
Planning
Due to its fl exible 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 ow of this appliance may affect the
gas ame 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.
Gas Cooktop Seal 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 section.
Taking Measurements
• 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.
• Cooktop depth can vary greatly from one to another. This
may cause the fi t of these two appliances to be rather tight.
Pay special attention to the areas of potential interference
highlighted below. A countertop with (A) a raised lip and/or (B)
a backsplash may not allow enough fl at countertop for a proper
installation. Note that 2-3/4" of fl at countertop is required
behind cooktop and that 2-7/8" is necessary between the back
edge of the cooktop and the inside of cabinet back.

Ducting Confi gurations
• The downdraft blower system is designed for use with 8"
round ductwork using a fl ex blower or 10" round ductwork
using a remote blower. (Purchase blowers separately.)
• 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 fl oor joists, wall
studs, electrical wiring or plumbing for possible interference.
For more detailed ducting information see appendices A-G
at the end of document.

Cooking
WARNING
Use and Care
Always disconnect electric power
supply before cleaning and/or servicing unit.
Always turn the downdraft blower on before you begin cooking
to establish an air fl ow 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.

FIVE-YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY FOR BEST® PRODUCTS
Warranty
Limited Warranty
Warranty Period and Exclusions: Broan-NuTone, LLC (the “Company”)
warrants to the consumer purchaser of its product (“you”) that the product (the
“Product”) will be free from material defects in the materials or its workmanship
for a period of fi ve (5) years from the date of original purchase (or such longer
period as may be required by applicable law) or a period of two (2) years from
the date of service for any labor provided on the Product.
The limited warranty period for any replacement parts provided by the Company
and for any Products repaired or replaced under this limited warranty shall be
the remainder of the original warranty period (or such longer period as may be
required by applicable law).
THIS WARRANTY DOES NOT EXTEND TO FLUORESCENT LAMP STARTERS,
TUBES AND BULBS, FUSES, FILTERS, DUCTS, ROOF CAPS, WALL CAPS
AND OTHER ACCESSORIES FOR DUCTING. This warranty does not cover (a)
normal maintenance and service, (b) normal wear and tear, (c) any Products or
parts which have been subject to misuse, abuse, abnormal usage, negligence,
accident, improper or insuffi cient maintenance, storage or repair (other than
repair by the Company), (d) damage caused by faulty installation, or installation
or use contrary to recommendations or instructions, (f) damage caused by
exposure to salt air, (g) damage in transit, (h) natural wear of fi nish, (i) Products
in commercial or nonresidential use, (j) damage caused by fi re, fl ood or other act
of God, or (k) Products with altered, defaced or removed serial numbers. This
warranty covers only Products sold to consumers in North America.
This warranty supersedes all prior warranties and, subject to applicable law, is
not transferable from the original 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 and conditions, express or
implied. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE
COMPANY DISCLAIMS AND EXCLUDES ALL OTHER EXPRESS WARRANTIES
AND CONDITIONS, AND DISCLAIMS AND EXCLUDES ALL WARRANTIES AND
CONDITIONS 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 or conditions,
the duration of any applicable implied warranty or condition is limited to the
period specifi ed for the express warranty above. Some jurisdictions (which may
include the Province of Quebec or specifi c US 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 fi nds 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 (or such longer
period as may be required by applicable law).
Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to refund the money actually
paid by you for the Product. If the Product or component is no longer available,
replacement may be made with a similar product of equal or greater value, at
Company’s sole discretion. This is your sole and exclusive remedy for breach of
this limited warranty.
Exclusion of Damages: THE COMPANY’S OBLIGATION TO PROVIDE
REPLACEMENT PARTS, OR REPAIR OR REPLACE, AT THE COMPANY’S
OPTION, SHALL BE YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY UNDER THIS
LIMITED WARRANTY AND THE COMPANY’S 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.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or
consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.
This warranty gives you specifi c legal rights, and you may also have other rights, which
vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. The disclaimers, exclusions, and limitations of
liability under this warranty will not apply to the extent prohibited by applicable law.
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 fi eld
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.
How to Obtain Warranty Service: To qualify for warranty service, you must (a)
notify the Company at the address or telephone number stated below within
seven (7) days of discovering the covered defect, (b) give the model number
and part identifi cation and (c) describe the nature of any defect in the Product
or part. At the time of requesting warranty service, you must present evidence
of the original purchase date. If you cannot provide a copy of the original written
limited warranty, then the terms of the Company’s most current written limited
warranty for your particular product will control.
