Use the dimensions in the above illustration to help plan how and
where to provide duct access through your cabinet. Generally, 1-7/8"
x 19" rectangular duct will be used through left, right, and back of
cabinet - while 8" round duct will be used through cabinet floor.
For left, right, or rear exhaust:
Allow at least 18" for transition and elbow or blower.
For left / right exhaust:
A 30" deep cabinet is recommended to align properly with flex
blower. Flex blower can be mounted to rear cabinet wall or to a
platform / frame (not provided) on the base of the cabinet floor.
(See flex blower instructions).
Cabinet depths of 24" to 30" are required - depending on the
type of cooking appliance.

INSIDE CABINET DEPTH
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 fit of these two appliances to be rather tight.
Pay special attention to the areas of potential interference highlighted
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.

BLOWER
The downdraft blower system is designed for use with 8" round
ductwork using a Flex Blower or 10" round ductwork using a remote
blower. (Purchase blowers separately.) Six (6) different discharge
connections are available - with side-to-side adjustment for accurate
alignment of ductwork:
A = 8" Round, Left Discharge out of Flex Blower
B = 8" Round, Right Discharge out of Flex Blower
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.
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.
Use when you cannot reach the UP/
DOWN Button on the downdraft chimney.
Can be located on counter top, face of
cabinetry or on the side cabinet of an
island. Cut-out size: 2¼" H x 2" W.
Cannot be used where remote control
will interfere with cooking, where hot
pans could be set, or where hot liquids
could be spilled on the control.
Remote wiring connects with 6-pin connector on control box.
