Cut Countertop Opening
- Lay out and cut the cooktop cut-out far enough
forward so downdraft will fit behind it (refer to cooktop
installation instructions).
- Set cooktop in place and slide it as far forward
as possible. Center and square it with edges of
countertop.
A ½" minimum
clearance behind
cutout must be
maintained for
proper installation.
Template
- Place the template against the back flange of the
cooktop and center it. Trace around template to mark
the downdraft opening.
- Remove cooktop from countertop.
- Cut downdraft opening. Be careful not to chop edges
of countertop. Mask the countertop to help prevent
scratching the surface.
- A ½" minimum clearance behind cutout must be
maintained behind the telescopic downdraft for proper
installation.
NOTE
Cabinet constructions may vary. Be sure to
take cabinet frame members into account. They
may have to be removed or relocated. Do not
compromise the structural integrity of the cabinet
in doing so.
Install Electrical Wiring
- Mount a standard wiring box, with 3-pronged
grounded receptacle, inside the cabinet. Make sure
the downdraft's power cord can easily reach it.
- Run appropriate power cable into cabinet and
connect it to receptacle.
