TAKE MEASUREMENTS
All Units
1. Refer to the cooktop installation instructions for dimensions
of cooktop, countertop cut-out, and cabinet requirements.
The Models VIPR102SS and VIPR102RSS will fit in most
30" wide cabinets the Models VIPR162SS and VIPR162RSS
will fit in most 36" wide cabinets and the Models VIPR182SS
and VIPR182RSS will fit most 48" wide cabinets. However, it
is recommended that oversized cabinets be used for easier
installation.
2. Cooktop depth can vary greatly from one to another. This may
cause the fit of these two appliances to be rather tight.
Pay special attention to the areas of potential interference highlighted above. A countertop with (A) a raised lip and/or (B) a
backsplash may not allow enough flat countertop for a proper
installation. Note that 2" of flat countertop is required behind
cooktop and that 1-3/4" is necessary between the back edge of
the cooktop and the inside of cabinet back.

1. The Interior Downdraft Blower system draws 4 AMPS and
requires a 120 VAC, 60 Hz circuit.
2. The downdraft has a 2 ft. long power cord with a 3-pronged
plug. Plan to provide a grounded outlet in a location which will
allow the unit’s power cord to reach.
IMPORTANT - LOCATION OF ELECTRICAL OUTLET:
If Models VIPR102SS or VIPR102RSS are being installed
in a 30" wide cabinet...
or Models VIPR162SS or VIPR162RSS are being
installed in a 36" wide cabinet...
or Models VIPR182SS or VIPR182RSS are being
installed in a 48" wide cabinet...
...the outlet cannot be located on the back wall of
cabinet.
In these cases, the width of the downdraft covers nearly the
entire width of the back wall of the cabinet. So you must
either:
• mount the electrical box to a side wall or cabinet floor
- at least 12 inches from the back wall.
• mount the electrical box to a wall stud behind the
cabinet - where it will not be covered by the downdraft.
Then provide a clearance hole in the back wall of the

INSTALLATION OF REMOTE CONTROL SWITCH
WARNING: To reduce the risk of burns or ignition
of clothing by reaching across burners, the remote
control must be mounted at least 4" away from any
cook top burner.
Keep in mind you do not want to place the control where it
will be in the way for cooking, or where hot pans could be
set, or hot liquids spilled on the control.
1. Using the template below, lay out the 3-hole pattern on the
counter top. Mark the centers of the three holes to be drilled.
2. Carefully drill the three holes through the counter top. Be careful
not to damage or chip the counter top surface when drilling
the holes.
3. Remove the control from the plastic bag. Remove the paper
from the adhesive back of the control, line the control up with
the three holes and position the control so it is parallel with
the front of the counter top. Press down firmly for 60 seconds.
4. Remove the two nylon thumbnuts from the plastic bag and thread
onto the two studs on the control from below the counter top.
Hand tighten only. The thumbnuts just need to be snugged
by hand. They are there to hold the control in place until the
adhesive sets up.
5. Remove cable from the plastic bag and plug into back of control
from below counter top. Route cable through cabinet to lower
right hand corner of downdraft. Plug other end of cable into
the downdraft unit. (Receptacle hole for cabinet is on the lower
right hand side of the downdraft.)

the cabinet in order to service components such as the blower
motor or air vent mechanism.
Disconnect power to the cooktop and remove it first. Reverse the
steps under “MOUNT THE UNIT” to remove the downdraft from
the cabinet.
