WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR
INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
1. Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer.
If you have questions, contact the manufacturer at the address
or telephone number on the back page.
2. Before servicing or cleaning 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.
3. Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by a
qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and
standards, including fire-rated construction codes and
standards.
4. 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),
and the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air
Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local code
authorities.
5. When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage
electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
6. Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.
7. To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.
8. Do not install this product with the activating switch directly
behind a burner or element. Minimum distance between the
switch and the edge of the burner should be 4 inches.
9. Loose-fitting or hanging clothing should never be worn when
operating this appliance. They may be ignited by burners/
elements on cooktop.
10. Children should not be left alone or unattended in the area
where this appliance is in use.
11. This unit must be grounded.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:
a) Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boil
overs cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.
Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.
b) Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when
cooking flaming foods.
c) Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed
to accumulate on fan or filter.
d) Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the
size of the surface element.
Safety Information
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE
EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE
FOLLOWING:
1. 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.
2. NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN - You may be burned.
3. DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels a violent steam explosion will result.
4. Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
A. You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher, and you
already know how to operate it.
B. The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.
C. The fire department is being called.
D. You can fight the fire with your back to an exit. Based on
“Kitchen Fire Safety Tips” published by NFPA.
CAUTION
1. For indoor use only.
2. For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust
hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.
3. To avoid motor bearing damage and noisy and/or unbalanced
impellers, keep drywall spray, construction dust, etc. off
power unit.
4. Clean filters and grease-laden surfaces frequently.
5. Do not repair or replace any part of this appliance unless
specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing
should be done by a qualified technician.
6. Please read specification label on product for further
information and requirements.
7. To reduce the risk of fire and electric shock, install this
downdraft only with blower models shown below. Other blower
models cannot be substituted. (Blowers sold separately).
Internal Blower Model DBI-600A, Exterior Blower Model CBE1000, In-Line Blower Model PBN-1000A.

Before You Begin
Planning
Due to its flexible design, this downdraft system can be used to
exhaust airborne contaminants when cooking with a variety of gas
or electric cooking appliances - including cooktops, rangetops,
slide-in ranges and free-standing ranges.
It can be mounted in island, peninsula, or conventional wall
locations. The blower (purchase separately) and electrical panel
can be mounted to the downdraft unit, inside the cabinet, or in a
convenient remote location.
This unit can be easily installed following these basic steps:
• Cut out the countertop opening.
• Mount the unit in the cabinet.
• Install the blower and electrical panel.
• Connect the ductwork and electrical.
• Install the trim.
• Install the cooking appliance.
Note: the high level of air flow of this appliance may affect the
gas flame on some types of gas cooktops. This is NORMAL and
will cause no harm, but can be corrected by lowering the speed
of the blower.
Gas Cooktop Seal Kit is recommended for use with all gas
cooktops. The kit creates a seal between the cooktop and the
lower cabinet. Includes trim bracket and trim seal. See Optional
Accessories section.
Taking Measurements
• Refer to the cooktop installation instructions for dimensions
of cooktop, countertop cut-out, and cabinet requirements.
However, it is recommended that oversized cabinets be used
for easier installation. Custom island designs need to account
for deeper cabinets - especially when installed with a range in
front of the downdraft or when mounting the blower behind the
downdraft. You must also plan for an access door.
• 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 2-3/4" of flat countertop is required
behind cooktop and that 2-1/2" is necessary between the back
edge of the cooktop and the inside of cabinet back.

Ducting Configurations
• The downdraft blower system is designed for use with 8" round
ductwork using a DBI-600A blower or 10" round ductwork using
a remote blower. (Purchase blowers separately.)
• 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.

Cabinet Cutouts
CAUTION
BEFORE CUTTING HOLE IN CABINET FOR DUCTWORK,
check for interference with floor joists, wall studs,
electrical wiring, or plumbing.
Use the dimensions in illustrations to help plan how and where to
provide duct access through your cabinet. Generally, 1-7/8" x 19"
rectangular duct will be used through left, right, below and back of
cabinet - while 8" round duct will be used through cabinet floor
using DBI-600A blower.

For left, right, below or rear exhaust: Allow at least 18" for transition and elbow or blower.
For left / right exhaust: a 30" deep cabinet is recommended to align
properly with DBI-600A blower. DBI-600A blower can be mounted
to rear cabinet wall or to a platform / frame (not provided) on the
base of the cabinet floor. (See DBI-600A blower instructions).
Note: DBI-600A blower can only attach to the front of the downdraft.
Cabinet depths of 24" to 30" are required - depending on the
type of cooking appliance.
If using a Recirculating Kit, see “Plan the installation”
section of the installation instructions packaged with the
kit.
