Downdraft Cooktop

Page 2

Before you start...

Proper installation is your responsibility. A qualified technician should install this downdraft cooktop. Make sure you have everything necessary for correct installation. It 1s the responsibility of the installer to comply with the installation clearances specified on the serial/rating plate. The serial/rating plate is located on the rear wall of the burner box.

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

Important: Observe all governlng codes and ordinances.

Fire Hazard

Do Not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.

Personal Injury Hazard

Avoid installing cabinet storage above the cooking surface. tf cabinets are already installed, avoid the use of cabinet while cooktop is in

US.

Reaching over a heated cooking surface could result in a serious burn or other personal injury.

Electrical Shock Hazard

lt 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, ANSIJNFPA 70 -

latest edition*, and

all local codes and ordinances.

Take special care when drilling holes into wall for venting. Electrical wires may be concealed behind wall covering.

Do Not use this appliance with any solid state fan speed control device.

Failure to do so could result in fire, electrical shock or other personal injury.

Electrical Shock Hazard

Electrical ground is required on this appliance.

. If cold water pipe is interrupted by

plastic, non-metallic gaskets or other insulating materials, Do Not use for grounding.

. Do Not ground to a gas pipe.

Do Not have a fuse in the neutral or grounding circuit. A fuse in the neutral or grounding circuit could result in electrfcal shock.

Check with a quatttied electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious injury or death.

Pipe wrench

ducttape

or knife

The flexible armored cable extending from the appliance should be connected directly to the junction box. The appliance should be connected to the fused disconnect (or circuit breaker) box through flexible armored or non-metallic sheathed copper cable.

lf local codes permit and a separate grounding wire is used, it is

recommended that a qualifred electrician determine that the grounding path is adequate.

A three-wire or four-wire, singlephase, 120/240-volt, &Hz, AC-only electrical supply (or three-wire or four-

wire, 120/208-volt if specified on the

serial/rating plate) is required on a separate 40-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 serial/rating plate. The serial/rating

plate is located on the rear wall of the burner box.

Parts suppIled for itnstallatgon:

Locate the junction box to allow as much slack in the line as possible between the junction box and appliance so that the downdraft cooktop can be moved if servicing is ever necessary.

Hold-down screws are attached.

A U.L.-listed l/2” conduit connector must be provided at the junction box.

instructions may result in a fire.

Determine which venting method to use. Ductwork can extend either through the wall or floor.

The length of the ductwork and number of elbows should be kept to a minimum to provide efficient performance. The size of the ductwork should be uniform. Do Not install two elbows together. Use duct tape to seal all joints in the ductwork system. Use caulking tape to seal the exterior wall or floor opening around the cap. Do Not cut joist or stud. If ductwork cutout falls over a joist or stud, a supporting frame must be constructed.

Flexible metal ductwork is Not recommended. If it is used, calculate each foot of flexible ductwork as two feet of rigid. Flexible elbows count twice as much as standard elbows. Use metal ductwork only. Figures 5-8 show common venting methods and types of materials needed.

NOTE: Make sure there is proper clearance within the wall or floor exhaust duct before making cutouts.

Recommended duct length

Ductwork length should not exceed the maximum length listed in the “Maximum length of duct system” chart. (See Panel C.)

This appliance is manufactured with a white (neutral) power supply wire and a frame-connected green (or bare) grounding wire twisted together.

Connect the appliance cable to the junction box through the U.L.-listed conduit connector. Complete electrical connection according to local codes and ordinances.

Where local codes permit...

connecting the frame-grounding conductor to the neutral (white) junction box wire:

1. Disconnect the power supply.

2. Connect the flexible armored cable that extends from the downdraft cooktop to the junction box using a U.L.-listed conduit connector. Tighten the screws on the conduit connector.

3. Connect the neutral (white) wire in the junction box with the green (or bare) wire and white wire from the appliance cable with a wire connector.

4. Connect the two black wires together; then connect the two red wires together with wire connectors,
