responsibility of the installer.

CAUTION: FOR PERSONAL SAFETY,
REMOVE HOUSE FUSE OR CIRCUIT

BREAKER BEFORE BEGINNING
INSTALLATION.

These appliances must be suf)plied with the
proper voltage and fi'equency, as listed on
page 18. Connect to an individual, properly
grounded branch circuit breaker or time delay
fuse. Proper electrical ratings should be
verified with listing on product's rating plate.

Wiring must conform to the requirements of
the National Electrical Code. If the electric

supply provided does not meet the specifica-
tions, call a licensed electrician.

WARNING:

Any home ventilation system, such as a
cooktop with a downdraft mechanism, may
interfere with the proper flow of exhaust
products or combustion air required by gas
furnaces, gas water heaters, fireplaces, or

other naturally vented systems. To minimize
the chance of interference with such naturally
vented systems, follow the heating equipment
manufacturer's guidelines, and local codes.

Also follow tim guidelines in ASHRAE
Standard 62-1989, "Ventilation for Acceptable

Indoor Air Quality", section 5.8. When
following these guidelines, be sure to test for
proper airflow direction into the draft hood of
a naturally vented gas furnace oi" water heater.

This can be checked by striking a match,
blowing it out, and while it is still smoking,

holding it near the draft hood relief opening.
If smoke is drawn into the opening, vent flow

is in tim proper direction. If tim ASHRAE
Standard 62 guidelines are not satisfied, a

positive supply of outside air may have to be
suf)plied.

In the absence of local codes, the gas cooktop
must comply with the National Fuel Gas Code,
ANSI Z223.1, latest edition.

Advance
Planning

• ConsideI" base cabinet stoi'age ai`i'angements

to accommodate the downdi,aft blowei'/
motor assembly.

-The downdi`aft plenum assembly will occupy
the cabinet below the cooktop. Di'awei's

cannot be installed below the downdi`aft

vent or downdi`aft gi'ill components. The

blower may be installed in the cabinet oi"
located downstream fl'om the plenum in

the duct run.

- Shorter length drawers may be installed
below gas components, allowing foi` gas

inlet clearance.

• Do not cut holes foi` ductwoi`k locations until
components are on-site, with countei`top in

place, and all pi`e-planned locations are
confirmed.

• Always t)i`e-plan electrical and gas
connections to be accessible at the time of

installation.

• Consider the distance to power supply, cable
length and bending restrictions befoi`e
cutting holes.

• Gas components are not convertible to liquid
propane operation.

• In the absence of local codes, the gas cooktop
must comply with the National Fuel Gas

Code, ANSI Z223.1, latest edition.

Opdons

• Multiple gas and electric components can be
combined to form one custom cooking
ai`i`angenlent.

-Multiple electric components can operate

fl'om a singlejunction box, if local codes
permit.
Multiple gas components can operate from
a manifold, as permitted by local codes.

• Updraft components can be vented
according to normal exhausting methods.

• The downdi`aft vent and grill blower assembly
may be vented downwards to the left or right
sides or through the floor. See page 11.

-The motor blower assembly can be
mounted in the cabinet or under the flooi`.

The blower will fit between floor joists on

16" centei`s.

The plenum on the downdi,aft grill and
vent is shipped with the discharge on the
left side. It can be changed to discharge
