INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

Location Requirements

NOTE: Downdraft vent is installed directly behind the cooktop.
Install the downdraft vent first, then install the cooktop.
IMPORTANT: 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 is required. 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 latest edition, or with local
codes.
