Gas Downdraft Cooktop
Advance Planning
The combined installation of a downdraft vent and cooktop require careful consideration.
Countertop Requirements:
The countertop must have a deep flat surface to accommodate the cooktop and the vent. Countertops with a rolled front edge and backsplash may not provide the flat surface area required.
Clearances
•The downdraft system with blower, motor and ductwork will occupy the cabinet below the cooktop. Drawers cannot be installed below this cooktop.
•Refer to “Dimensions & Clearances” for information on appropriate placement and necessary clearances when planning installa­tion.
•Avoid placing cabinetry directly above the cooktop when possible.
•If cabinetry is used above cooking surface: –Use cabinets no more than 13" deep. –Maintain 30" minimum clearance between
cooktop and unprotected cabinets directly above cooktop.
–If clearance is less than 30", protect cabinet
bottoms with flame-retardant millboard at
Base Cabinet Requirements:
This installation requires a 24" min. deep cabinet base. The cabinet must be at least 36" wide.
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". 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 18" minimum clearance be­tween countertop and cabinet bottom.
•Installation must conform with local codes.
In the absence of local codes, the gas cooktop must comply with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, latest edition.
Ductwork Advance Planning
Prepare ductwork to vent to outdoors:
•Use the shortest and straightest duct run possible: –Duct run should not exceed equivalent
length of 150 feet.
–Refer to “Duct Fittings” chart to calculate
equivalent length for various duct configurations.
Gas and Electrical Locations
Plan the placement of the electrical outlet and gas carefully. Gas and electrical outlets cannot be placed on the back wall of the cabinet because it may interfere with the downdraft plenum.
•The downdraft blower system is designed to use 3-1/4"x10" ductwork. It can be transitioned to 6" round.
•Ductwork MUST be vented to the outside– never into a crawl space, attic or other enclosed space.
•Determine the need for a wall cap or roof cap. Order the cap in advance.
•Refer to “Power Supply Locations” page 8 for details.

Power Supply Locations
Gas supply:
These cooktops are designed to operate on natural gas at 4" of water column pressure or on LP gas at 10" of water column pressure.
–These cooktops are shipped from the
factory set for natural gas. If you decide to use this cooktop with LP gas, conversion adjustments must be made by a service technician or other qualified person. JXLP56 conversion kit is required for LP operation.
•The pressure regulator must be connected in series with the manifold of the cooktop and must remain in series with the supply line regardless of type of gas being used.
For proper operation, the maximum inlet pressure to the regulator must be no more than 10" water column pressure for natural gas and 14" water column pressure for LP gas.
•When checking the regulator, the inlet pressure must be at least 1" greater than the regulator output setting. –If the regulator is set for 4" of water column
pressure, the inlet pressure must be at least 5".
–If the regulator is set for 10" of water
column pressure, the inlet pressure must be at least 11".
For ease of installation, and if local codes permit, the gas supply line into the cooktop should be 1/2" or 3/4" ID flexible metal appliance connector, three to five feet long. Note: Purchase new flexible line. DO NOT USE OLD, PREVIOUSLY USED FLEXIBLE LINE.
•Make gas connection through rear wall, or on cabinet floor at rear, as illustrated.
Electrical supply:
•A properly-grounded 3-prong receptacle should be located within reach of cooktop’s four foot power cord. – Locate the receptacle inside the cabinet on
the right side wall. See illustration. IMPORTANT: (Please read carefully). FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED. 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 and has correct polarity. 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 three­prong wall receptacle.
Do Not, Under Any Circumstances, Cut Or Remove The Third (ground) Prong From The Power Cord.
Do not use an extension cord.
