PLANNING Basic Information Take Measurements A qualified technician must complete the installation of this appliance. This downdraft blower system is designed to be used to exhaust airborne contaminants when cooking with a variety of gas, electric or induction cooktops. It can be mounted in island, peninsula, or conventional wall locations. This unit is installed following these basic steps: • Cut out the countertop opening. • Mount the unit in the cabinet. • Connect the ductwork and electrical.
PLANNING Plan the Ductwork This downdraft blower system is designed for use with 3¼ x 10” ductwork (can be transitioned to 6” round). For best performance, choose the ducting option which allows the shortest length of ductwork and a minimum number of elbows and transitions. The system will operate most efficiently when the ductwork does not exceed 60 feet of equivalent duct. The downdraft will operate properly with ductwork up to 100 equivalent feet of duct. See page 12 for Calculated Duct Length Table.
PLANNING Plan the Electrical Connection The downdraft blower system draws 2.8 AMPS and requires a 120 VAC, 60 Hz circuit. The unit has a 28 inches long power cord with a 3 pronged plug. Plan to provide a grounded outlet in a location which will allow the unit’s power cord to reach.

INSTALLATION 6. Install Ductwork - Use galvanized or aluminum duct in 6” round or 3 ¼” x 10” size, or a combination of both. PVC duct should be used if installing under a poured concrete slab. Use the shortest and straightest duct run possible. The system will operate most efficiently when the ductwork does not exceed 60 feet of equivalent duct. The downdraft will operate properly with ductwork up to 100 equivalent feet of duct. See page 12 for Calculated Duct Length Table.
