Compatible cooktops with the downdraft vent system
The Downdraft Vent System is meant to be installed with residential use cooktops,
cooktops/oven combinations, freestanding ranges WITHOUT backguards and range
tops. This product is not recommended for use with ranges which may require
additional space behind the range for oven venting OR with freestanding ranges WITH
backguards. Always consult all product installation instructions for correct dimensions
and clearances.
IMPORTANT!
Make certain any cooktop installed is appropriate for use with a downdraft vent system.
Venting requirements
Attention should be given to ensure that any applicable regulations concerning the
discharge of exhaust air are fulfilled.
For optimal efficiency use the shortest and straightest duct route possible and use
rigid or semi-rigid ducting for reduced noise and increased airflow. For best results,
internal blowers should use 6" (152 mm) round ducting and remote blowers should
use 10" (254 mm) round ducting. Flexible metal ducting should only be used as a last
resort (ie in difficult installations) and if used ensure that it is straight and smooth and
extended as much as possible.
Make sure there is proper clearance within the wall or floor for exhaust duct before
making cutouts. Do not cut a joist or stud unless absolutely necessary. If a joist or stud
must be cut, then a supporting frame must be constructed.
CAUTION!
To reduce the risk of fire and electric shock, install this appliance only with remote
blower models rated maximum 2.8 A, and are suitable for use with solid state speed
controls.
