Downdraft Vent Specifications
•
Voltage Rating – 120V / 60 Hz / 15 Amps
•
Connected Load (kW Rating) @ 120 Volts = 0.41 kW (For use on
adequately wired 120V, dedicated circuit having 2-wire service with a
separate ground wire. Appliance must be grounded for safe operation.)
•
Amps @ 120 Volts = 3.4 Amps
•
Do not use same circuit as cooktop.
•
Always consult local and national electric codes. Check local building
codes for installation requirements, as they may vary per locale.
•
Locate grounded electrical outlet for 28"- long power cord within
reachable distance. When installing vent in 36"- wide cabinet, outlet
cannot be located on back wall of cabinet, but can be wall-mounted
with access hole in cabinet.
•
Downdraft Vent designed for installation with cooktop in island,
peninsula or conventional installation. (Cutout template provided,
packed with vent.)
•
To ensure proper installation with cooktop, refer to model-specific
cooktop installation guide on web for dimensions, countertop
cutout dimensions and cabinet requirements; oversized cabinets
recommended for ease of installation. Due to varying cooktop depths,
tight fit is possible between cooktop and vent, depending on overall
depth of countertop.
•
Pre-formed countertops with raised lip and /or backsplash may not
allow enough flat area for proper installation. Minimum 2-5/16" of flat
countertop required behind cooktop and 2-1/16" necessary between
back edge of cooktop and inside of cabinet back.
•
To ensure adequate clearance for air vent when raised /lowered, 1/8"
gap needed between back edge of cooktop and front of downdraft
top trim.
•
Vent exhaust air outside only.
•
Exhaust Duct Required – Galvanized or aluminum duct in 6" round
or 3-1/4" x 10" rectangular, or combination of both. PVC should
be used if installing under concrete slab.
•
Three blower discharge direction options available; rotate blower
motor for left, right or down discharge.
•
Consider ductwork location before cutting hole in cabinet. Blower
motor mounted on slide plate, enabling 3-1/2" left or right adjustment
to avoid duct interference with joists or other obstructions.
•
For maximum efficiency, use shortest and straightest duct run
possible. System operates most efficiently with up to 60 equivalent
feet of duct; Downdraft Vent operates properly with ductwork
up to 100 equivalent feet. (Refer to Calculating Duct Length Table
in Product Installation Guide.)
•
Do not use flexible duct. Round duct instead of rectangular duct
recommended, especially when elbows are required.
•
Thermal breaks such as short section of nonmetallic duct, should
be used in areas of extreme cold. Cold weather installations should
have additional backdraft damper installed.
•
High level of airflow may affect gas flame on some gas cooktop
models.
