Important: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

Proper installation is your responsibility.

Make sure you have everything necessary for correct installation. It is the responsibility of the installer to comply with the 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 wiring box cover.

Check location where downdraft vent will be installed. The location should be away from strong draft areas, such as windows, doors and strong heating vents or fans. Before making countertop cutout, check that downdraft vent and cooktop location will clear cabinet walls, backsplash, and rear wall studs inside cabinet.

ALL OPENINGS IN THE WALL OR FLOOR WHERE RETRACTABLE DOWNDRAFT VENT IS TO BE INSTALLED MUST BE SEALED.

Electrical ground is required. See “Electrical requirements,” Panel B.

When installing retractable downdraft vent,

the cabinet drawer will need to be removed and the drawer front installed permanently to cabinet.

30” min. base cabinet is required. If cabinet has a drawer, 3-l/2” depth clearance from the countertop to the top of the drawer (or other obstruction in the base cabinet) is required.

Note: Downdraft vent is installed directly behind the cooktop. Install downdraft vent first.

Downdraft vent is not approved for use in mobile homes.

Cabinet construction: Downdraft vent is designed for use in a cabinet with a depth of 24”. The maximum depth of the overhead cabinet is 13”. Overhead cabinets installed at either side of the downdraft vent must be 18” above the cooking surface. See cook-top Installation Instructions for the minimum distance between the front edge of the countertop and front edge of cooktop. The

minimum horizontal distance between the overhead cabinets is the same as the width of the installed downdraft vent.

When installing a 36” retractable downdraft vent with three “Create-A-Cook-top” modules, the optional support must be installed on the front of the downdraft vent. See installation steps for details.

WARNING -TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

A. Installation Work And Electrical

Wiring Must Be Done By Qualified Person(s) In Accordance With All Applicable Codes And Standards, Including Fire-Rated Construction.

B. The combustion airflow needed for

safe operation of fuel-burning equipment may be affected by this unit’s operation. Follow the heating equipment manufacturer’s guideline and safety standards such as those published by the National Fire

Protection Association (NFPA), and the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local code authorities.

C. When cutting or drilling into wall or

ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.

D. Ducted fans must always be vented to

the outdoors.

E. If this unit is to be installed over a tub

or shower, it must be marked as appropriate for the application.

Fire Hazard

Do Not obstruct the flow of

combustion and ventilation air. Failure to follow this instruction could

result in fire.

Panel B

Injury Hazard

To eliminate the risk of burns or fire, avoid installing cabinet storage above the cooking surface. If cabinets are already installed, avoid the use of cabinets while cooktop is in use.

Reaching over a heated cooking surface could result in a serious burn. Use two or more people to move and install downdraft vent. Failure to follow these instructions can result in back or other injury.

Electrical Shock Hazard

Check for electrical wires that may be concealed behind wall covering before drilling holes into wall.

Do not use downdraft vent solid state fan speed control device.

Failure to follow these instructions could result in death, fire or electrical

Lshock.

It is the customer’s responsibility: To contact a qualified electrical installer. To assure that electrical installation is adequate and in conformance with National Electrical Code, ANSVNFPA

70 - latest edition*, and local codes and ordinances.

Electrical Shock Hazard Electrically ground downdraft vent. Failure to follow this instruction could

result in death, fire or electrical shock.

If codes permit and a separate grounding wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the grounding path is adequate.

Do Not ground to a gas pipe. Check with a qualified electrician if you are

not sure the downdraft vent is properly

grounded. Do Not have a fuse in the neutral or

grounding circuit. IMPORTANT: Save Installation Instructions

for electrical inspector’s use.

Electrical connection

1. Cut a 1 -l/2” hole in floor or side of cabinet for power supply wire. The hole cut for electrical wiring through a wood cabinet should be sanded until smooth. A grommet (Part No. 302797) must cover the hole cut for the electrical wiring through a metal cabinet.

2. Run flexible armored or nonmetallic sheathed copper cable from fused disconnect circuit breaker or junction box

through the cabinet hole to the downdraft vent location.
