Location Requirements
NOTE: Downdraft vent is installed directly behind the cooktop.
Install the downdraft vent first, and then install the cooktop.
IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
■ Have a qualified technician install the downdraft vent. It
is the installer’s responsibility to comply with installation
clearances specified on the model/serial/rating plate. The
model/serial/rating plate is located on the front of the
downdraft vent above the terminal box cover.
■ Downdraft vent location should be away from strong draft
areas, such as windows, doors, and strong heating vents
or fans.
■ Cabinet opening dimensions that are shown must be used.
Given dimensions provide minimum clearance.
■ Consult the cooktop manufacturer installation instructions
before making any cutouts.
Check that the downdraft vent and cooktop location will
clear the cabinet walls, backsplash, and rear wall studs
inside the cabinet.
Check for the minimum distance between the front edge
of the countertop and the front edge of the cooktop. The
minimum horizontal distance between the overhead cabinets
is the same as the width of the installed downdraft vent.
■ All openings in ceiling and wall where the downdraft vent
will be installed must be sealed.
■ Grounded electrical outlet is required. See “Electrical
Requirements” section.
■ When installing the downdraft vent, the cabinet drawer
will need to be removed and the drawer front installed
permanently to the cabinet.
Cabinet Construction:
Downdraft vent is designed for use in a cabinet with a depth of
24" (61 cm). Some installations require a countertop deeper than
25" (63.5 cm). See the “Countertop Cutout Dimensions” section.
The maximum depth of the overhead cabinet is 13" (33 cm).
Overhead cabinets installed at either side of the downdraft vent
must be 18" (45.7 cm) above the cooking surface.
For Mobile Home Installations
The installation of this downdraft vent must conform to the
Manufactured Home Construction Safety Standards, Title 24
CFR, Part 328 (formerly the Federal Standard for Mobile Home
Construction and Safety, title 24, HUD, Part 280) or when such
standard is not applicable, the standard for Manufactured Home
Installation 1982 (Manufactured Home Sites, Communities
and Setups) ANSI A225.1/NFPA 501A, or latest edition, or with
local codes.

Electrical Requirements
Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
Ensure that the electrical installation is adequate and in
conformance with National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 (latest
edition) or CSA Standards C22.1-94, Canadian Electrical Code,
Part 1 and C22.2 No. 0-M91 (latest edition) and all local codes
and ordinances.
If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is
recommended that a qualified electrician determine that
the ground path is adequate.
A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from:
National Fire Protection Association
1 Batterymarch Park
Quincy, MA 02169-7471
CSA International
8501 East Pleasant Valley Road
Cleveland, OH 44131-5575
■ A 120-volt, 60 Hz., AC-only, 15-amp, fused electrical
circuit is required.
■ If the house has aluminum wiring, follow the procedure
below:
1. Connect a section of solid copper wire to the pigtail leads.
2. Connect the aluminum wiring to the added section
of copper wire using special connectors and/or tools
designed and UL listed for joining copper to aluminum.
Follow the electrical connector manufacturer's recommended
procedure. Aluminum/copper connection must conform with
local codes and industry accepted wiring practices.
■ Wire sizes and connections must conform with the rating of
the appliance as specified on the model/serial/rating plate.
The model/serial/rating plate is located on the front of the
downdraft vent above the wiring box cover.
■ Wire sizes must conform to the requirements of the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 (latest edition) or CSA
Standards C22. 1-94, Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1 and
C22.2 No. 0-M91 (latest edition) and all local codes and
ordinances.
Venting Requirements
IMPORTANT: Make sure there is proper clearance within the wall
or floor before making exhaust vent cutouts.
■ Use heavy (rigid) metal vent.
■ Venting system must terminate to the outside.
■ Do not terminate the vent system in an attic or other
enclosed area.
■ Do not use 4" (10.2 cm) laundry-type wall caps.
■ Do not install 2 elbows together.
■ Do not use plastic or metal foil vent.
■ The length of vent system and number of elbows should
be kept to a minimum to provide efficient performance.
■ Use no more than three 90° elbows.
■ Make sure there is a minimum of 24" (61 cm) of straight vent
between the elbows if more than one elbow is used.
■ Use clamps or duct tape to seal all joints in the vent system.
■ Use caulking tape to seal the exterior wall or floor opening
around cap.
■ Do not cut joist or stud. If vent cutout falls over a joist
or stud, a supporting frame must be constructed.
Flexible metal vent is not recommended. If it is used, calculate
each foot of flexible vent as 2 ft (0.6 m) of rigid metal vent.
Flexible elbows count twice as much as standard elbows.
Recommended vent system length:
For either interior-mounted or exterior-mounted blower
installations, the vent system length should not exceed the
maximum lengths listed in the “Maximum Length of Vent
System” chart. See “Calculating Vent System Length” in the
“Venting Methods” section in the Installation Instructions.
Cold Weather Installations
An additional backdraft damper should be installed to minimize
backward cold airflow and a thermal break should be installed
to minimize conduction of outside temperatures as part of the
vent system. The damper should be on the cold air side of the
thermal break.
The break should be as close as possible to where the vent
system enters the heated portion of the house.
Makeup Air
Local building codes may require the use of makeup air systems
when using ventilation systems greater than specified CFM of
air movement. The specified CFM varies from locale to locale.
Consult your HVAC professional for specific requirements in
your area.

Determine Which Vent Direction Is Best for
Your Installation
When installed in a cabinet, vent system can exhaust through
the bottom, left, or right of the cabinet.
IMPORTANT: When using the 6" (15.2 cm) vent transition
(supplied) for 6" round venting, only left or right venting is
recommended.
Bottom Venting:
NOTE: If installing the vent damper in the down position, a wall
or roof cap with a damper at the exit end of the vent system
is required.
■ Downdraft vent is shipped with blower in down-venting
position, so no modification is required.
■ If rear mounting of the blower motor is not required, go
to the “Complete Installation” section.
■ To mount the blower motor to the rear side of the vent box,
go to the “Rear Mounting — Blower Motor” section.
Left or Right Venting:
1. Using 2 or more people, place the downdraft vent system
on its back.
2. Remove the 4 screws from the cover plate mounted to the
face of the motor box and set them aside.
