Advance planning for telescopic downdraft vents
These downdraft vent systems are ideal for island and
peninsula cooking centers because they retract nearly flush
with the countertop. They may be installed with any Monogram
®
electric or gas cooktop except Professional models.
Both the 36" and 30" models are equipped with a separate
remote control. This control must be installed in a separate
location outside of the vent and cooktop cutout.
Countertop requirements
Countertops must have a deep flat surface to accommodate
the cooktop and the vent. Countertops with a rolled front edge
and backsplash may not provide the flat surface area required.
Base cabinet requirements
The base cabinet must be deep enough to accommodate the
minimum clearance to the front of the countertop, the cooktop
burner box and the vent.
Downdraft vent and cooktop cutout
The installation of these downdraft vents with any Monogram
cooktop requires careful consideration. For accurate planning,
review the dimension drawing for the combined vent and
Monogram cooktop installation.
Before you begin you must:
1. Review countertop dimension illustrations to be sure you will
have enough flat countertop surface.
2. Check to be sure that the total countertop depth required
(including minimum cutout to front edge depth) allows
enough space for a backsplash.
3. Review the cabinet illustration. Check to be sure that the
interior cabinet depth will house the cooktop burner box,
the vent and the cutout clearance from the front.
4. When countertop and cabinet depth present a problem,
review Creative Solutions.
5. Read this section completely to accurately plan the
installation location, clearances and ductwork
requirements.
With careful planning you can achieve a custom look with
minimal adjustments.
The serial plate is located on the blower assembly.
