TAKE MEASUREMENTS

Refer to the cooktop installation instructions for dimensions of cooktop, countertop cut-out, and cabinet requirements. The

Model DHD865AUC will fit in most 30" wide cabinets and the Model DHD965AUC will fit in most 36" wide cabinets. How- ever, it is recommended that oversized cabinets be used for easier installation.

Cooktop depth can vary greatly from one to another. This may cause the fit of these two appliances to be rather tight.

DISCHARGE (as shipped)

This downdraft blower system is designed for use with 3ol/4" x 10" ductwork (can be transitioned to 6" round). Three

different discharge directions are available with side-to-side adjustment for accurate alignment of ductwork.

For best performance: Choose the duct!rig 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. NOTE: The unit is shipped with the 3ol/4" x 10" discharge

facing DOWN. See "CHANGING BLOWER DIRECTION" on

page 3, if necessary.

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" of flat countertop is required behind cooktop and that Io3/4" is necessary between the back edge of the cooktop and the inside of cabinet back.

3. The system will operate most efficiently when the ductwork does not exceed 40 feet of equivalent duct. The chart, above,

shows equivalent feet of elbows and transitions. The number of feet of straight duct plus the equivalent feet of transitions and/or elbows to be used should equal 40 feet or less.

NOTE: The equivalent feet of various roof and wall caps has been taken into consideration. Do not include them in this

calculation,

PLAN THE WIRING

The downdraft blower system draws 4 AMPS and requires a 120 VAC, 60 Hz circuit.

The unit has a 2 ft. 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. (Note: If the Model DHD865AUC is being installed in a 30" wide cabinet orthe Model DHD965AUC is being installed in a 36" wide cabinet, the outlet cannot be located on the back wal! of cabinet.) Outlet may also be wallo mounted, with access hole in cabinet.

CHANGING BLOWER DmSCHARGE (Optionam)

The blower is shipped with its discharge facing DOWN. Follow these steps ONLY if:

,, the position of the blower discharge needs to be moved

so ductwork does not interfere with floor joists, plumb ing or wiring below.

,, it is necessary to rotate the blower discharge to the

RIGHT or LEFT.

Place the unit on its back on a table or work surface.
