IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
■Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have questions, contact the manufacturer.
■Before servicing or cleaning the unit, switch power off at service panel and lock the service disconnecting means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, 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.
■Do not operate any fan with a damaged cord or plug. Discard fan or return to an authorized service facility for examination and/or repair.
■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.
■Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for 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:a
■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.
aBased 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.

LocationRequirements
NOTE: Downdraft vent is installed directly behind the cooktop. Install the downdraft vent first, then install the cooktop.
IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
■Have a qualified technician install the downdraft vent. It is the installer’s responsibility to comply with 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 terminal box cover.
■Downdraft vent location should be away from strong draft areas, such as windows, doors, and strong heating vents or fans.
■Cabinet opening dimensions that are shown must be used. Given dimensions provide minimum clearance.
■Consult the cooktop manufacturer installation instructions before making any cutouts.
Check that the downdraft vent and cooktop location will clear the cabinet walls, backsplash, and rear wall studs inside the cabinet.
Check for the minimum distance between the front edge of the countertop and the front edge of the cooktop. The minimum horizontal distance between the overhead cabinets is the same as the width of the installed downdraft vent.
■All openings in ceiling and wall where the downdraft vent will be installed must be sealed.
■Grounded electrical outlet is required. See “Electrical Requirements” section.
■When installing the downdraft vent, the cabinet drawer will need to be removed and the drawer front installed permanently to the cabinet.
Cabinet Construction:
Downdraft vent is designed for use in a cabinet with a depth of 24" (61 cm). Some installations require a countertop deeper than 25" (63.5 cm). See the Countertop Cutout Dimensions chart.
The maximum depth of the overhead cabinet is 13" (33 cm). Overhead cabinets installed at either side of the downdraft vent must be 18" (45.7 cm) above the cooking surface.
For Mobile Home Installations
The installation of this downdraft vent must conform to the Manufactured Home Construction Safety Standards, Title 24 CFR, Part 328 (formerly the Federal Standard for Mobile Home Construction and Safety, title 24, HUD, Part 280) or when such standard is not applicable, the standard for Manufactured Home Installation 1982 (Manufactured Home Sites, Communities and Setups) ANSI A225.1/NFPA 501A*, or latest edition, or with local codes.

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.
VentingRequirements
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
■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 interioror 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.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 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).
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.
VentingMethods
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.
