■ 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

flambeing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).

■ Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be

allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.

the size of the surface element.

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO

PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

■ SMOTHER FLAMES with a close fitting lid, cookie sheet, or

metal tray, then turn off the burner. BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If the flames do not go out immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

■ NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN - you may be burned.

■ DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels -

a violent steam explosion will result.

■ Use an extinguisher ONLY if:

– You know you have a class ABC extinguisher, and you

already know how to operate it.

– The fire is small and contained in the area where it

started. – The fire department is being called. – You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.

Based on "Kitchen Fire Safety Tips" published by NFPA.

■ WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock,

do not use this fan with any solid-state speed control device.

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 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.

¹⁄₂

" (85.9 cm) on 36" (91.4 cm) models

¹³⁄₁₆

" (46.2 mm)

■ 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 for the interior- or exterior-mounted vent motor.

Cold Weather Installations

An additional back draft damper should be installed to minimize backward cold air flow 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.

To basement, crawlspace or utility room installed in-line blower motor system

EXTERIOR-MOUNTED VENT MOTOR

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire and electrical shock, install the downdraft only with remote blower systems that are sold by Whirlpool Corporation. Model numbers UXI0600DYS (600 cfm) and UXI01200DYS (1200 cfm).

Venting Methods

Determine which venting method is best for your application. Vent system can terminate through the wall or roof. A wall cap or roof cap is required.

NOTES:

■ Venting through a concrete slab is not recommended.

■ The in-line blower motor system must be placed in an

enclosed area and can be located in a utility room, basement, crawl space or attic. Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

■ 10" (25.4 cm) round vent duct is required for connections to

the retractable downdraft vent system outlet cover and the in-line blower motor inlet and outlet covers. 10" (25.4 cm) round vent duct is recommended for the retractable downdraft vent system with in-line blower motor system. Transitioning to different size ducting will reduce the efficiency of the retractable downdraft vent system.

Island Location—Front Vent

Island Location—Rear Vent

NOTE: Exterior-mounted vent motor installations require an

approved in-line blower motor system. Model numbers UXI0600DYS (600 cfm) and UXI1200DYS (1200 cfm) are available from your dealer or authorized parts supplier. See “Blower motor system” in the “Accessories” section.

Built-In Cabinet Locations

Calculating Vent System Length

It is recommended that you use round vent instead of rectangular vent, especially if elbows are required. If rectangular vent is required, it should be transitioned to 10" (25.4 cm) round vent as soon as possible.

Maximum Length of Vent System

Vent Length

10" (25.4 cm) round 60 ft (18.3 m)

To calculate the length of the system you need, add the equivalent feet (meters) for each vent piece used in the system.

Vent Piece 10" (25.4 cm) Round

45° elbow 2.5 ft

(0.8 m)

90° elbow 5.0 ft

(1.5 m)

The maximum equivalent vent lengths of 10" (25.4 cm) round vents - 60 ft (18.3 m).

2 - 90° elbows = 10.0 ft (3 m) 10 ft (3 m) straight = 10.0 ft (3 m) Length of 10" (25.4 cm)

= 20 ft (6 m)
