Models DD30R, DD36R and DD45R are shipped without a blower assembly and can be used with the remote blowers listed below. Remote blowers are available as sales accessories. IMPORTANT NOTE: The downdraft must be used with a Wolf-approved control module and top cover.
W O L F D OW N D R A F T V E N T I L A T I O N S Y S T E M S I N S TA L L AT I O N S P E C I F I C A T I O N S Wolf downdraft Model DD30 will fit most 30" (762) wide cabinets, Model DD36 will fit most 36" (914) wide cabinets and Model DD45 will fit most 45 1/2" (1156) wide cabinets. It is recommended that oversized cabinets be used for easier installation. Cabinet backs may need to be removed. Wolf downdraft ventilation systems can be mounted in an island, peninsula or standard wall location.
I N S TA L L AT I O N I N S T R U C T I O N S For installation of a downdraft system with a cooktop, refer to the cooktop installation instructions for the dimensions of the cooktop, countertop cut-out and cabinet requirements. The depth of the cooktop may vary and will affect the location of the downdraft in the countertop.
W O L F D OW N D R A F T V E N T I L A T I O N S Y S T E M S ELECTRICAL R E Q U I R E M E N T S I M P O R TA N T N OT E You must follow all National Electrical Code regulations. In addition, be aware of local codes and ordinances when installing your service. Wolf downdraft ventilation systems require a separate, grounded 120 V, 60 Hz power supply. The service should have its own 15 amp circuit breaker, and a grounded 3-prong receptacle should be located within the reach of the 2 1/2' (.8 m) power cord.
I N S TA L L AT I O N I N S T R U C T I O N S B L OW E R C O N S I D E R AT I O N S A D J U S TA B L E D I S C H A R G E The blower will vary in size and is dictated by the cooking surface, the volume of air that needs to be moved and the length of the duct run. A straight, short duct run with a limited number of elbows and transitions will allow the downdraft to perform most efficiently.
W O L F D OW N D R A F T V E N T I L A T I O N S Y S T E M S D U C T I N G C O N S I D E R AT I O N S IMPORTANT NOTE: Always consult a qualified HVAC Engineer for specific ducting applications. IMPORTANT NOTE: Wolf ventilation downdraft systems must be vented to the outside. Use only metal ductwork. Wolf downdraft ventilation systems are designed for use with 3 1/4" (83) x 10" (254) ductwork for Models DD30I, DD36I and DD45I, and 3 1/4" (83) x 14" (356) ductwork for Models DD30R, DD36R and DD45R.
I N S TA L L AT I O N I N S T R U C T I O N S A D J U S T I N G B L OW E R D I S C H A R G E Wolf downdraft systems have an adjustable discharge that will allow you to negotiate ducting around floor joists and other obstacles. The blower is shipped with the discharge facing down. D OW N TO L E F T O R R I G H T D I S C H A R G E D OW N D I S C H A R G E L E F T TO R I G H T Follow these steps if it is necessary to rotate the blower to the left or right discharge location.

Set the cooktop in place and slide it as far forward as possible. Center and square the cooktop with edges of countertop. Place the plastic template included with the downdraft against the back flange of the cooktop and centered. Trace around the template to mark the downdraft opening.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Before cutting the hole in the cabinet for ductwork, check for interference with floor joists, wall studs, electrical wiring or plumbing. Cut the hole in the cabinet as well as holes in wall or floor as necessary for the ductwork.
