Before youstart,,,

Your safety and the safety of
others is very important.

We have provided many important
safety messages in this manual and

on your appliance. Ah_iays read and
obey all safety messages.

This is the safety alert
symbol.This symbol alerts
you to hazards that can kill

or hurt you and others. All safety
messages will be preceded by the
safety alert symbol and the word

"DANGER" or "WARNING". These
words mean:

You witi be killed or seriously

injured if you don't foltow
instructions.

You can be killed or seriously

injured if you don't foltow
instructions.

All safety messages will identify the
hazard, tell you how to reduce the
chance of injury, and tell you what
can happen if the instructions are

not followed.

Important: Observe all governing
codes and ordinances. Failure to meet

codes and ordinances could lead to
fire or electrical shock.

To eliminate the risk of burns by
reaching over heated surface units,

cabinet storage space located above
the surface units should be avoided, tf

cabinet storage is to be provided, the

risk can be reduced by instalJing a
range hood that projects horizontaJiy a
minimum of 5 inches (12.7 am) beyond

the bottom of the cabinets.

Proper installation is your responsibility.
oMake sure you have everything

necessary for correct installation.

oHave a qualified technician install

this cooktop.

• Comply with the electrical specifications
on the model/serial rating plate.
Model/serial rating plate is located on

the bottom of the cooktop. Write both
numbers down on the front cover now

before installing cooktop.

Downdraft cooktop location should be
away from strong draft areas, such as
windows, doors and strong heating vents
or fans. Locate cooktop for convenient

use in kitchen.

Grounded electrical system is required=

See "Electrical requirements," Page 6=
Venting system must terminate

outdoors.

AH openings in the wall or floor where
cooktop is to be installed must be

sealed.

tt is the customer's responsibility to
contact a qualified electrical installer,

to make sure that the electrical

installation is correct, and to make
sure the electrical installation follows

the National EJectrical Code,
ANSJ/NFPA 70 -- latest edition*, or

CSA Standards C22.1=94, Canadian

EJectrical Code, Part 1 and C22.2 No.

0-M91 =latest edition**, and aH local
codes and ordinances.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock, or injury to persons,

observe the following:

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 back
drafting. Follow the heating equipment

manufacturer's guideline and safety
standards such as those published by

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 hidden utilities.

Ducted fans must always be vented to
the outdoors.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire,
use only metal ductwork.

This downdraft eooktop is Not approved

for use in mobile homes.

Ventin9systemreqeirements

Venting system must terminate to the
outside.

Do Not terminate the vent system in an
attic or other enclosed space.

Do Not use 4qnch (10 cm) laundry-type
wall caps.

Use metal vent only. Exception: See
"optional venting under a concrete
slab", in "Venting methods" below.
Rigid metat vent is recommended. Do
not use plastic or metal foil vent.

To reduce risk of fire and to properly
exhaust air, be sure to vent air outside.

Do Not vent exhaust air into spaces
within walls or ceilings or into attics,
crawl spaces or garages.

Before making cutouts, make sure there
is proper clearance within the wall or

floor for the exhaust vent.
Do Not cut a joist or stud unless

absolutely necessary. If a joist or stud
must be cut, then a supporting frame

must be constructed.

Vent materials needed for installation
are not supplied,

Determine which venting method to use.
See "Venting methods," below.

Next, determine the equivalent vent length
using chart on Page 5. The maximum
equivalent vent length is 60 feet (18.3 m).

The blower housing is set to vent
straight out the back from the cooktop. To
vent down, left or right, see "Installation,"
Step 2, Page 6.

This downdraft cooktop is rated at
60 feet (18.3 m) of straight vent or the
equivalent.

• if vent length is 10 feet (3 m) or less,
6" (15.2 cm) diameter round vent may

be used.

• tf vent length is more than 10 feet
(3 m), use 6" (15.2 cm) diameter round

or 3-1/4" x 10" (8.3 x 25.4 cm)
rectangular vent.

Thermal breaks: In areas of extreme
cold weather, it may be necessary to

provide a short length of nonmetallic duct
as close to the wall as possible to prevent
thermal conduction along the metal vent.

For attitudes above 4,500 ft (1372 m),
reduce recommended vent run by 20%.

For the most efficient and
quietest operation:

[_ Use 26=gauge minimum galvanized or

25=gauge minimum aluminum metal
vent. Poor=quality pipe fittings can

reduce air flow. (Note: Local codes may
require a heavier=gauge material.)

Flexible metal vent is Not

recommended.

[_ Do Not exhaust more than one

downdraft cooktop into a single vent
system.

[_ The length of vent and number of

elbows should be kept to a minimum to
provide efficient performance.

_j The size of the vent should be uniform.
D Use the fewest number of 90° elbows.
[_ Do Not install two elbows together.
[_ Make sure there is a minimum of 18"

(45.7 cm) of straight vent between the
elbows if more than one elbow is used.

(Elbows too close together cause
excess turbulence that reduces airflow.)

[_ Do Not use a 5" (12.7 cm) elbow in a

6" (15.2 cm) or 3-1/4" x 10"
(8.3 x 25.4 cm) system.

[_ Do Not reduce back to 5" (12.7 cm)

system after using 6" (15.2 cm) or
3-1/4" x 10" (8.3 x 25.4 cm) fittings.

[_ Avoid forming handmade crimps.

Handmade crimps may restrict airflow.

[_ Use the recommended vent caps for

proper performance. If an alternate wall
or roof cap is used, be certain cap size

is not reduced and that it has a
backdraft damper.

[_ Use duct tape to seal all joints in the

vent system.

[_ Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof

opening around the cap.

ground path is adequate.
Do Not ground to a gas pipe.
Check with a qualified eJectNcian if you

are not sure cooktop is properly
grounded,

Do Not have a fuse in the neutral or
grounding circuit,

The downdraft cooktop must be
connected to the proper electrical voltage
and frequency as specified on the
model/serial rating plate. The model/serial
rating plate is located on the bottom of the
cooktop.

[_ A four-wire or three-wire, single-phase,

240-volt, 60-Hz, AC-only electrical
supply is required on a separate

30-ampere circuit, fused on both sides
of the line.

[_ A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is

recommended. The fuse size must not
exceed the circuit rating of the

appliance as specified on the
model/serial rating plate.

[_ CONNECT WITH COPPER WIRE

ONLY.

Connected directly to the fused

disconnect (or circuit breaker box)
through flexible, armored or non-

metallic sheathed, copper cable (with
ground wire).

[_ Flexible armored cable should connect

cooktop directly to the junction box.

[_ Fuse both sides of the line.

[_ Locate the junction box to allow as

much slack as possible between the

junction box and cooktop so that the

downdraft cooktop can be moved if
servicing is ever necessary.

[_ A U.L.-listed 1/2" (12.7 mm) conduit

connector must be provided at the

junction box.

The recommended minimum copper
wire size is No.olO gauge. However,

wire sizes and connections 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 22.2

No. 0-M91 - latest edition** and all local
codes and ordinances. Wire sizes and

connections must conform with the rating
of the cooktop.
