Venting Requirements

IMPORTANT: Make sure there is proper clearance within the wall

or oor before making exhaust vent cutouts.

• Use heavy (rigid) metal vent.

• Venting system must terminate to the outside.

• Do not terminate the vent system in an attic or other enclosed

area.

• Do not use 4” (10.2 cm) laundry-type wall caps.

• Do not install 2 elbows together.

• Do not use plastic or metal foil vent.

• The length of vent system and number of elbows should be

kept to a minimum to provide efcient performance.

• Use no more than three 90° elbows

• Make sure there is a minimum of 24” (61 cm) of straight vent

between the elbows if more than one elbow is used.

• Use clamps or duct tape to seal all joints in the vent system.

• Use caulking tape to seal the exterior wall or oor opening

around cap.

• Do not cut joist or stud. If vent cutout falls over a joist or stud,

a supporting frame must be constructed.

• Flexible metal vent is not recommended. If it is used, calculate

each foot of exible vent as 2 ft (0.6 m) of rigid metal vent. Flexible elbows count twice as much as standard elbows.

Cold Weather Installations

An additional back draft damper should be installed to minimize

backward cold air ow and a thermal break should be installed to

minimize conduction of outside temperatures as part of the vent system. The damper should be on the cold air side of the thermal break. The break should be as close as possible to where the vent system enters the heated portion of the house.

Makeup Air

Local building codes may require the use of makeup air systems

when using ventilation systems greater than specied CFM of air movement. The specied CFM varies from locale to locale. Consult your HVAC professional for specic requirements in your

area.

4. Install cooktop according to manufacturer’s instructions.

VENT SYSTEM USE

The retractable downdraft vent system is designed to remove smoke, cooking vapors and odors from the cooktop area.

• For best results, the vent should be operating before cooking is

started.

• If you use large or tall utensils, place them on the large rear

element or burner surface.

• A higher heat setting than normally used may be needed when

the downdraft vent is operating.

• For gas cooktops, the downdraft vent system may affect the

ame stability and cooking performance. To improve the burner performance, either decrease the downdraft vent blower speed or

increase the cooktop burner ame setting.

• For gas cooktops with ame sensing ignitions, the downdraft vent

system may disperse the ame away from the spark igniter and may cause it to continually spark while trying to reignite a burner that is already lit. To resolve the issue of the cooktop igniter continuously sparking, either decrease the downdraft vent blower speed or increase the cooktop ame setting for that burner.

Downdraft Use

Use the high suction speed in cases of concentrated kitchen vapours. It is recommended that the cooker hood suction is switched on for 5 minutes prior to cooking and to leave in operation during cooking and

for another 15 minutes approximately after terminating cooking.

The control panel consists of a backlit rotating disk.

To raise the downdraft vent system:

Press on the disk (E) aprox 2 seconds to raise the downdraft vent

system.

Press on the disk (E) aprox 2 seconds to hide the downdraft vent

system. NOTE: If you press the disk to hide the downdraft system while it is working, the appliance will automatically turn off.

To select the available suction speeds:

Turn the disk (E) clockwise to turn on and increase the suction speed

and counter-clockwise to decrease it, and to turn off the hood.
