to the service panel.
■ Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by
qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes
and standards, including fire-rated construction.
■ Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and
exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel
burning equipment to prevent backdrafting. Follow the
heating equipment manufacturer's guideline and safety
standards such as those published by the National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA), the American Society for
Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers
(ASHRAE), and the local code authorities.
■ When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling; do not damage
electrical wiring and other utilities.
■ Ducted fans must always be vented outdoors.CAUTION: For general ventilating use only. Do not use
to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.
CAUTION: To reduce risk of fire and to properly exhaust
air, be sure to duct air outside - do not vent exhaust air into
spaces within walls or ceilings, attics or into crawl spaces,
or garages.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, USE ONLY
METAL DUCTWORK.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP
GREASE FIRE:
■ Never leave surface units unattended at high settings.
Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may
ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.
■ Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when
■ Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be
allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
■ Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for

■ This fan is suitable for use with solid state speed controls.
■ A 120 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only 15-amp fused, electrical circuit is
required.
■ Check with a qualified electrician if you are not sure the
downdraft vent is properly grounded.
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
■ The downdraft vent must be connected with copper wire
only.
■ The downdraft vent should be connected directly to the
circuit breaker (or fused disconnect) box through flexible
armored or nonmetallic sheathed copper cable. Allow some
slack in the cable so the downdraft vent can be moved if
servicing is ever necessary.
■ Wire sizes (copper wire only) and connections must conform
with the rating of the appliance as specified on the model/
serial rating plate 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.
■ Two UL listed or CSA approved ½" (12.7 mm) conduit
connectors.
■ A wiring diagram is located on the downdraft vent base
above the power control board cover.
■ 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 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 - Interior Mounted Vent Motor Only” section.
