Advance Planning

Joiner strips and end caps are included to provide a finished look to any modular cooktop arrangement.

• Consider base cabinet storage arrangements to accommodate the downdraft blower/ motor assembly.

–The downdraft plenum assembly will occupy

the cabinet below the cooktop. Drawers cannot be installed below the downdraft vent or downdraft grill components. The blower may be installed in the cabinet or located downstream from the plenum in the duct run.

–Shorter length drawers may be installed

below gas components, allowing for gas inlet clearance.

• Do not cut holes for ductwork locations until

components are on-site, with countertop in place, and all pre-planned locations are confirmed.

• Always pre-plan electrical and gas connections to be accessible at the time of installation.

• Consider the distance to power supply, cable length and bending restrictions before 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.

UL, A.G.A. approved.

Installation Options

Installation Rules

• Multiple gas and electric components can be combined to form one custom cooking arrangement. –Multiple electric components can operate

from a single junction 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 downdraft vent and grill blower assembly may be vented downwards to the left or right sides or through the floor. See page 11.

• Never vent a cooktop into an interior space always to the outdoors.

• The updraft grill requires an overhead vent with at least 300 CFM.

• DO NOT install an updraft grill component next to a downdraft vent.

–The motor blower assembly can be

mounted in the cabinet or under the floor. The blower will fit between floor joists on 16" centers.

–The plenum on the downdraft grill and

vent is shipped with the discharge on the left side. It can be changed to discharge from the right side.

• JXBC55 optional outdoor cover accessory may be ordered for installation of blower and motor assembly on an outside wall.

• DO NOT install a downdraft vent behind a cooktop.

• DO NOT install a gas or grill cooktop where the knobs are between the heated area and the downdraft vent.

Installation Location

• Whenever possible, avoid placing cabinetry directly above the cooking surface.

• If cabinetry is used above the cooking surface: –Use cabinets no more than 13" deep. –Maintain 30" minimum clearance between

cooktop(s) and unprotected cabinets directly above the cooktop.

–If clearance is less than 30", protect cabinet

bottoms with flame-retardant millboard at least 1/4" thick or gypsum board at least 3/16" thick covered with 28 gauge sheet steel or .02" thick copper.

–Clearance between cooktop and protected

cabinetry must not be less than 24".

–Working areas next to the cooktops should

have 18" minimum clearance between the

countertop and the cabinet bottom. EXCEPTION: Installation of a listed microwave oven or cooking appliance over the cooktop(s) shall conform to the installation instructions packed with that appliance.

• Installation must conform with local codes.

Clearances:

• When installed electric components require

the following clearances: – 2" min. from front of cooktop to front edge

of countertop,

–1" min. from back of cooktop to rear wall, –1" min. from side of cooktop to side wall.

Gas components require:

–2" min. from back of cooktop to rear wall, –2" min. from side of cooktop to side wall.
