PLANNtNG This downdraft blower system is designed to be used to

exhaust airborne contaminants when cooking with a variety of gas or electric cooktops. It can be mounted in island,

peninsula, or conventional walI locations. This unit can be easily installed following these basic steps:

® Cut out the countertop opening. ® Mount the unit in the cabinet. ® Connect the ductwork and electrical.

o Install the cooktop.

The high level of air flow of tHs appliance may affect the gas flame on some types of gas cooktops° This is

NORMAL and win cause no harm, but can be corrected by lowering the speed of the blower.

TAKE MEASUREMENTS 1= Refer to the cooktop installation instructions for dimensions

of cooktop, countertop cut-out, and cabinet requirements. The Model 59960 will fit in most 30" wide cabinets and the

Model 59966 will fit in most 36" wide cabinets. However, it is recommended that oversized cabinets be used for easier installation.

2= Cooktop depth can vary greatly from one to another. This

may cause the fit of these two appliances to be rather tight.

Pay special attention to the areas of potential interference highlighted above. A countertop with (A) a raised Iip and/or

(B) a backsplash may not allow enough flat countertop for a proper installation. Note that 2" of fiat countertop is required

behind cooktop and that 1-3/4" is necessary between the back edge of the cooktop and the inside of cabinet back.

PLAN THE DUCTWORK 1= This downdraft blower system is designed for use with

3-1/4" x 10" ductwork (can be transitioned to 6" round). Three different discharge directions are available with side-

to-side adiustment for accurate alignment of ductwork.

2. For best performance: Choose the ducting option which allows the shortest length of ductwork and a minimum number of elbows and transitions. Check location of floor

ioists, walI studs, electrical wiring or plumbing for possible interference. NOTE: The unit is shipped with the 3q/4" x

10" discharge facing DOWN. See "CHANGING BLOWER DISCHARGE" on page 7, if necessary.

3. The system wiII operate most efficiently when the ductwork does not exceed 40 feet of equivalent duct. The chart,

above, shows equivalent feet of eibows and transitions. The number of feet of straight duct pius the equivalent feet

of transitions and/or elbows to be used should equal 40 feet or less.

The equivalent feet of various roof and wan caps has been taken into consideration° Do not include them in this camcu- mation.

PLAN THE WiRiNG 1= The downdraft blower system draws 4 AMPS and requires

a 120 VAC, 60 Hz circuiL 2= The unit has a 2 fL long power cord with a 3-pronged plug.

Plan to provide a grounded outlet in a location which wiiI allow the unit's power cord to reach= (Note: If the Model 59940

is being instalIed in a 30" wide cabinet or the Model 59946 is being installed in a 36" wide cabinet, the outlet cannot be

located on the back waII of cabinet.) Outlet may also be waif mounted, with access hole in cabinet.

CUT COUNTERTOP OPENING

1. Lay out and cut the cooktop cut-out far enough FORWARD so downdraft will fit behind it.

2. Set cooktop in place and slide it as far forward as possible. Center and square it with edges of countertop.

3. Place the plastic template against the back flange of the cooktop and center it. Trace around template to mark the

downdraft opening.

4. Remove cooktop from countertop.

5. Cut downdraft opening. Be careful not to chip edges of countertop.

MOUNT THE UNiT

1. Set downdraft into opening. Extend bveting brackets to floor of cabinet so downdraft sits straight. (Note: Leveling brackets can be removed and re-attached in other

positions. Bottom flange may have to face inward in tight cabinet installations.)

2. Secure the downdraft to the countertop as follows: Hold the downdraft against the back of countertop cut-out and

tightening the 2 mounting screws (one on each end of unit) on underside of countertop. Use a wood shim between

screw and underside of granite countertops.

3. Screw leveling brackets to bottom of cabinet. Tighten screws holding leveling bracket to unit on each side.

INSTALL DUCTWORK

CAUTION: BEFORE CUTTING HOLE tN CABINET FOR DUCTWORK: Check for interference with floor

joists, wall studs, emectricamwiring or plumbing,

1. Cut hole in cabinet as well as holes in wail or floor as necessary.

2. Mount the roof or wail cap and work back towards the cabinet, attaching all ductwork, elbows and transitions as

previously planned. Tape all ductwork connections to make them secure and air tight.

3. Connect ductwork (and transition, if required) to downdraft. If necessary, LOOSEN nuts and screws that hold the blower

in place, and slide blower left or right to meet ductwork. Re-tighten screws and nuts.
