ADVANCE PLANNING

Design mnformation

Remote Switch
The downdraft vent has a separate raise/lower switch.

Plan to install the switch in a convenient location

outside of the vent/cooktop cutout.

Downdraft Vent and Cooktop Cutout
The installation of these downdraft vents wkh any
Monogram cooktop requires careful consideration. For
accurate planning, this book provides individual
dimension drawings for the vent and the Monogram
cooktop combined instaIBtion.

Countertop Requirements:

The countertop must have adeep 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.

Base Cabinet Requirements:

The base cabinet must be deep enough to accommo =
date the minimum clearance to the front of the

countertop, the cooktop burner box and the vent.

Creative Solutions

When the kitchen design callsfor an against the
wall installation, move the base cabinet forward, 3"

to 5". Filler panels or complimentary moldings can
be added to exposed cabinet sides.

Before you begin, you must:

1. Review countertop dimension illustrations to be
sure you will have enough flat countertop surface.

2. Checkto be sure that the total countertop depth
required (including minimum cutout to front edge

depth) allows enough space for a backsplash.

3. Reviewthe cabinet illustration. Checkto be sure
the interior cabinet depth will house the cooktop

burner box, the vent and the cutout clearance from
the front.

4. When countertop and cabinet depth present a
problem, review Creative Solutions.

5. Read this book completely to accurately plan the
installation location, clearances and ductwork

requirements.

With careful planning you can achieve a custom look
with minimal adjustments.

Maintain CutoutClearances

to Front Edgeas Specified

* In an island or peninsula, use an extra deep

countertop. The countertop overhang at the
front can be adjusted to meet setbackto cutout
requirements.

*When the cutout to front edge of the countertop

requirement is more than 2", add a bullnose trim to
the front edge of the countertop. Include the trim
thickness when measuring front edge to cutout
requirement. By adding the trim, the cooktop can be
moved forward, providing additional countertop
depth and interior cabinet space.

Clearances

• The downdraft system with blower, motor and duct
work will occupythe cabinet below the countertop

and cooktop.

,The blower!motor assembly can be located below

the cabinet floor. The assemNywill fit between 16"
floor joists. Order JXRB67 for indoor remote

locations.

• The blower motor assembly can also be installed

outdoors. Order JXBC67 for remote blower installa-

tions outdoors.

, Refer to "Cooktop Clearances" for information on

appropriate placement and necessary clearances

when planning installation.

• Refer to your specific cooktop installation instruc-
tion for other appropriate clearances.

, Avoid placing cabinetry directly above the cooking

surface when possible.

If cabinetry is used above the 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 bot-

toms with fiame-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."

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 18"

minimum clearance between countertop and
cabinet bottom.

• Installation must conform with local codes.

Ductwork

Prepare ductwork to vent to the outdoors.

• Use the shortest and straightest duct run possible.
, The maximum permissible length for duct run is 150

feet.

, Refer to "Duct Fittings" chart to calculate equivalent

length for various duct configurations.

• The downdraft blower system is designed to use
3-1/4" x 10" 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.

Electrical and Gas Locations

Plan the placement of the electrical outlet and gas
(if used) carefully. Gas or electrical outlets cannot be
placed on the back wall of the cabinet because it may
interfere with the downdraft plenum.

, Install a standard electrical outlet within reach of the

vents' two foot long power cord.

,The vent and a Monogram gas cooktop combination

can operate from the same 120volt standard duplex
outlet.

, Electric cooktops must operate from a separate

240 volt junction box.
