Planning Basic Information 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.

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.
Planning Plan the Electrical Connection The downdraft blower system draws 4 AMPS and requires a 120 VAC, 60 Hz circuit. The unit has a 28 inch long power cord with a 3 pronged grounded plug. Plan to provide a grounded outlet in a location which will allow the unit’s power cord to reach. Install Electrical Supply Outlet NOTE If the 30” model is being installed in a 30” wide cabinet or the 36” model in a 36” wide cabinet, the outlet cannot be located on the back wall of cabinet.
