IMPORTANTSAFETYNOtiCE

The California Safe Drinking Water and ToxicEnforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish alist of substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.

Gasappliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or LP fuels. Properly adjusted burners, indicated by a bluish rather than a yellow flame, will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by venting with an open

window or using a ventilation fan orhood.

[] PREPARING THE BASE CABINET

This cooktop is designed to fit easily into a variety of cabinets. However, the combined

installation of a downdraft vent and a cooktop require careful consideration.

Some cabinets may require modifications.

This installation requires a 24" min. deep cabinet base. The cabinet must be at least

30" wide.

Preparing a cabinet that is against a wall In some cabinets, the sides may need to be

scooped or cut down 5s/4" as shown, and the

corner braces removed in order to

accommodate the unit. In 75 cm and 90 cm frameless European

cabinets, the back panel may need to be cut

down 5s/4" to accommodate the unit.

Preparing a peninsula or island-type cabinet

In a peninsula or island type cabinet, the sides may need to be scooped or cut down,

and the corner braces removed in order to accommodate the unit.

The downdraft system with blower, motor and ductwork will occupy the cabinet below the cooktop.

Drawers cannot be installed below this cooktop.

Avoid placing cabinets above the cooktop unit, if

possible, in order to reduce the hazards caused by reaching over heated surface units.

If the cabinetry is used above the cooktop, allow a minimum 30" clearance between the cooking surface

and the bottom of the unprotected cabinet.

If the clearance between the cooktop and the

cabinetry is lessthan 30", the cabinet bottom must

be protected with a flame retardant millboard at least

1/4" thick, or gypsum board at least 3/16" thick, covered with 28 gauge sheet steel or 0.020" thick copper. Clearance between the cooktop and the

protected cabinetry MUST NEVER BE LESS THAN 24".

EXCEPTION: Installation of a listed microwave oven or cooking appliance over the cooktop shall conform

to the installation instructions packed with that appliance.

Working areas adjacent to the cooktop should have an 18" minimum clearance between the countertop

[] BLOWERTO DUCTWORK ALIGNMENT

In general, the use of flexible ducting is discouraged because it can cause severely restricted airflow.

However, if the blower outlet and the floor or wall duct location do NOT align well, then flexible METAL

ducting can be used to adapt to an offset. Good alignment without use of flexible ducting is best. NOTE:

• Do not exceed the maximum recommended offset of 6".

• Do not allow the flexible ducting to kink or collapse.

• Do stretch the flexible ducting as much as possible to eliminate as much of the corrugation as possible.

EXHAUST BLOWER RATINGS

EXHAUST BLOWER SAFETY WARNING

Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of gases through the flue

(chimney) of other fuel burning equipment to prevent back drafting. Follow the heating

equipment manufacturer's guidelines and safety standards such as those published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), the American Society for Heating,

Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) and local code authorities.

NOTE: The exhaust blower output is approximately 400 CFM (cubic feet per minute) without ductwork. Each installation is different and ductwork affects blower output accordingly. Actual blower exhaust CFM can be approximated using the graph below.

Step 1: Calculate the "equivalent duct length" using the "DUCTWORK

CALCULATIONS" table in these instructions for your installation.

Step 2: Find the approximate intersection point of the blower exhaust performance

curve with the equivalent duct length to estimate the actual maximum blower output for your installation.

Examples: 50 equivalent feet of ductwork has approximately 320 CFM.

100 equivalent feet of ductwork has approximately 265 CFM.

The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug which

mates with a standard three-prong grounding wall receptacle to minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from this appliance.

The customer should have the wall receptacle and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to

make sure the receptacle is properly grounded. Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is

encountered, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to have it replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall

receptacle.

DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND)

PRONG FROM THE POWER CORD.

-&CAUTION: Attaching the adapter

ground terminal to the wall receptacle cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the cover screw is metal, not insulated, and the wall receptacle is grounded through the house wiring, The

customer should have the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the

receptacle is properly grounded.

When disconnecting the power cord from the

adapter, always hold the adapter with one hand. If this is not done, the adapter ground

terminal is very likely to break with repeated

use. Should this happen, DO NOT USE the appliance until a proper ground has again

been established.
