TAKE MEASUREMENTS
All Units
1. Refer to the cooktop installation instructions for dimensions
of cooktop, countertop cut-out, and cabinet requirements.
The Models VIPR101SS and VIPR101RSS will fit in most
30" wide cabinets the Models VIPR161SS and VIPR161RSS
will fit in most 36" wide cabinets and the Models VIPR181SS
and VIPR181RSS 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 is
designed for use with
3-1/4" x 10" ductwork
(can be transitioned
to 6" round). Three
different discharge
directions are available with side-toside adjustment for
accurate alignment of
ductwork.
2. For best performance:
Choose the ducting
option which allows
the shortest length
of ductwork and a
minimum number of elbows and transitions. Check location
of floor joists, wall studs, electrical wiring or plumbing for
possible interference.

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
