Important Safety Instructions

General Safety Precautions

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury or death when using this blower, follow basic safety precautions,
including the following:

WARNING

• Do not install or operate this unit if it has been dam­aged, dropped, has damaged electrical wiring or
is not working properly. If you receive a damaged
product, immediately contact the dealer or builder.

• Install or locate this appliance only in accordance
with these installation instructions and the Dacor
hood or downdraft vent installation instructions.
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service
or maintenance can cause serious personal injury or
property damage.

• Before installing or servicing the blower, make sure
that power to the wiring is turned off at the circuit
breaker or fuse box. Make sure that the service
panel is locked or tagged to prevent power from
being switched on accidently.

• A minimum of two people are required to safely
install this appliance.

• The installer must show the customer the location
of the fuse or circuit breaker panel so that the cus­tomer knows where and how to turn the power off.

• To reduce the risk of electric shock or fire, the total
combined current draw of the in-line blower and the
hood or downdraft vent must not exceed the maxi-

WARNING

mum rated input current of the hood or downdraft
vent.

• Never allow the filters or vent openings on the hood
or downdraft vent to become blocked or clogged.
Do not allow foreign objects, such as cigarettes or
napkins, to be sucked into the vent holes.

• Tape all duct joints securely to prevent combus­tion by-products, smoke or odors from entering the
home. Doing so will also improve system efficiency.

• Do not route electrical wiring near hot surfaces.

• Do not ground the appliance with the neutral (white)

house supply wire. A separate ground wire must be
utilized.

• To prevent a damaged or non-functional system,
complete electrical connections properly. Follow
the wiring diagrams carefully in the hood or in-line
blower installation instructions to ensure a proper
installation. After installation or service, make sure
that all blower wires are tightly connected to their
respective terminals.

Product Specifications

Electrical Supply Requirements

• The power for this blower is supplied via 1/2” 3-wire
wiring/conduit (not included) by an approved Dacor
hood or downdraft vent. The wiring/conduit is installed
between the hood or downdraft vent and the blower
and shall be terminated on each end by a 1/2” UL certi­fied strain relief. The power is turned on and off by the
power switch on the approved ventilation device.

• The correct voltage, frequency and amperage must be
supplied to the hood or downdraft vent and the blower
from a grounded, single phase circuit that is protected
by a properly sized circuit breaker or time-delay fuse.
The circuit must have the capacity to supply the com­bined power requirements for the hood or downdraft
vent and the in-line blower. See the installation instruc­tions for the hood or downdraft vent to determine total
power requirements in combination with the blower
electrical specifications.
