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 Flamb6).

NOTI:: Downdraft vent is installed directly behind the cooktop. Install the downdraft vent first, then install the cooktop.

IMPOFITANT: 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 isrequired. 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

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 ifmore 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.

Cold Weather Installations

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