Downdraft Specifications 5 wolfappliance.
Downdraft Specifications 6 Installation Specifications For installation of a downdraft system with a cooktop, refer to the cooktop installation guide for exact cooktop dimensions, countertop cut-out and cabinet requirements. The depth of the cooktop will affect the location of the downdraft in the countertop. IMPORTANT NOTE: To install a downdraft system and a Wolf cooktop, you must allow for a minimum 25 1/8" (638) flat counter space from front to back.
Downdraft Specifications 7 wolfappliance.com/specs Installation Specifications For installation of a downdraft with a sealed burner rangetop, refer to the sealed burner rangetop installation guide for rangetop dimensions, rough opening and cabinet requirements. Refer to the illustrations for specifications for a downdraft model DD30 or DD36 installed with a Wolf sealed burner rangetop model SRT304 or SRT366. For installation of a downdraft with a sealed burner rangetop, an accessory trim kit is required.
Downdraft Specifications 8 Electrical Requirements Wolf downdraft ventilation systems require a separate, grounded 120 V AC, 60 Hz power supply. The service should have its own 15 amp circuit breaker, and a grounded 3-prong receptacle should be located within reach of the 2 1/2' (.8 m) power cord. The specific location of the outlet is not critical, as long as it is within reach of the power cord that is located mid-way, top and bottom, on the right side of the downdraft.
Downdraft Installation 9 wolfappliance.com/specs Downdraft Installation CONTERTOP CUT-OUT INSTALL THE DOWNDRAFT • Position the cooktop cut-out so that it is far enough forward in the countertop for the downdraft to fit behind it. • Set the downdraft into the opening. Extend the leveling brackets to the floor of the cabinet so the downdraft sits straight. Note that the leveling brackets can be removed and reattached in a different position.
Downdraft Installation 10 Control Module CONTROL MODULE INSTALLATION To reduce the risk of burns or ignition of clothing by reaching across the cooktop, the control module must be mounted at least 4" (102) from an element or burner. IMPORTANT NOTE: The downdraft must be used with a Wolf-approved control module and top cover. The 2 3/8" (60) x 6 5/8" (168) remote-mounted control module and stainless steel top cover are included with the downdraft.
Downdraft Installation 11 wolfappliance.com/specs Blower Considerations Ducting Considerations Downdraft models DD30I, DD36I and DD45I include a 500 CFM internal blower. In-line and remote blower assemblies are available for models DD30R, DD36R and DD45R through your authorized Wolf dealer. For local dealer information, visit the showroom locator section of our website, wolfappliance.com. IMPORTANT NOTE: Consult a qualified HVAC professional for specific installation and ducting applications.
Downdraft Installation 12 Ductwork Installation For installations where the ductwork is riveted to the unit, a 3 1/4" (83) x 10" (254) collar is provided for models with an internal blower and a 3 1/4" (83) x 14" (356) collar is provided for models with a remote blower. This will allow the blower to be removed and replaced easily for service without disturbing the ductwork. To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.
Downdraft Installation 13 wolfappliance.com/specs Blower Discharge Adjustment DOWN DISCHARGE ADJUSTMENT LEFT OR RIGHT SIDE DISCHARGE Adjusting the down discharge left or right will keep the blower discharge in the down position but allows some side-to-side adjustment. Substituting down discharge with left or right discharge will switch the blower discharge from the down position to the left or right of downdraft assembly.
Downdraft Installation 14 Wiring Connections INTERNAL BLOWER REMOTE BLOWER • Mount a standard 120 V AC electrical box, with 3-pronged grounded receptacle, inside the cabinet or adjacent cabinet. Make sure it is located within reach of the 2 1/2' (.8 m) power cord. IMPORTANT NOTE: For mounting and installation of the remote blower, refer to the installation instructions for your specific blower. • Run the appropriate power cable into the cabinet and connect it to electrical box and outlet.
Service Information 15 wolfappliance.com/specs Troubleshooting Service Information IMPORTANT NOTE: If the downdraft ventilation system does not operate properly, follow these troubleshooting steps: If service is necessary, maintain the quality built into your gas range by calling a Wolf authorized service center. • Verify that power is being supplied to the downdraft. • Check electrical connections to ensure that the installation has been completed correctly.
