Planning
Due to its flexible design, this downdraft system can be used to
exhaust airborne contaminants when cooking with a variety of gas
or electric cooking appliances - including cooktops, rangetops,
slide-in ranges and free-standing ranges.
It can be mounted in island, peninsula, or conventional wall
locations. The blower (purchase separately) and electrical panel
can be mounted to the downdraft unit, inside the cabinet, or in a
convenient remote location.
This unit can be easily installed following these basic steps:
• Cut out the countertop opening.
• Mount the unit in the cabinet.
• Install the blower and electrical panel.
• Connect the ductwork and electrical.
• Install the trim.
• Install the cooking appliance.
Note: the high level of air flow of this appliance may affect the
gas flame on some types of gas cooktops. This is NORMAL and
will cause no harm, but can be corrected by lowering the speed
of the blower.
Gas Cooktop Seal Kit is recommended for use with all gas
cooktops. The kit creates a seal between the cooktop and the
lower cabinet. Includes trim bracket and trim seal. See Optional
Accessories section.
Taking Measurements
• Refer to the cooktop installation instructions for dimensions
of cooktop, countertop cut-out, and cabinet requirements.
However, it is recommended that oversized cabinets be used
for easier installation. Custom island designs need to account
for deeper cabinets - especially when installed with a range in
front of the downdraft or when mounting the blower behind the
downdraft. You must also plan for an access door.
• Cooktop depth can vary greatly from one to another. This
may cause the fit of these two appliances to be rather tight.
Pay special attention to the areas of potential interference
highlighted above. A countertop with (A) a raised lip and/or (B)
a backsplash may not allow enough flat countertop for a proper
installation. Note that 2-3/4" of flat countertop is required
behind cooktop and that 2-1/2" is necessary between the back
edge of the cooktop and the inside of cabinet back.

• The downdraft blower system is designed for use with 8"
round ductwork using a flex blower or 10” round ductwork
using a remote blower. (Purchase blowers separately.)
• For best performance: Choose the ducting option which allows
the shortest length of ductwork and a minimum number of
elbows and transitions. Check location of floor joists, wall
studs, electrical wiring or plumbing for possible interference.
For more detailed ducting information see appendices A-G
at the end of document.

Planning
CAUTION
BEFORE CUTTING HOLE IN CABINET FOR DUCTWORK,
check for interference with floor joists, wall studs,
electrical wiring, or plumbing.
Use the dimensions in illustrations to help plan how and where to
provide duct access through your cabinet. Generally, 1-7/8" x 19"
rectangular duct will be used through left, right, and back of
cabinet - while 8" round duct will be used through cabinet floor.
For left, right, or rear exhaust: Allow at least 18" for transition and
elbow or blower.
For left / right exhaust: a 30" deep cabinet is recommended to
align properly with flex blower. Flex blower can be mounted to rear
cabinet wall or to a platform / frame (not provided) on the base of
the cabinet floor. (See flex blower instructions).
Note: Flex blower can only attach to the front of the downdraft.
Cabinet depths of 24" to 30" are required - depending on the
type of cooking appliance.
If using a Recirculating Kit, see “Plan the installation”
section of the installation instructions packaged with the kit.

Use and Care
Cooking
WARNING
Always disconnect electric power
supply before cleaning and/or servicing unit.
Always turn the downdraft blower on before you begin cooking
to establish an air flow in the kitchen. Let the blower run for a few
minutes to clean the air after you turn the cooktop off. This will
keep the whole kitchen cleaner and brighter.
It is recommended to use the rear burners when cooking with tall
pots or when the cooking method will generate high amounts of
smoke or steam. The combination of using the rear burners and
operating the unit at high speed will increase the likelihood that
all the smoke and steam will be removed by the downdraft.
Cleaning
CAUTION
Failure to engage tabs properly may cause chimney
to jam and fail to raise up.
To Clean grease filters:
Lift FRONT PANEL up and out and take out the GREASE FILTERS.
Wash filters in a mild detergent solution or a dishwasher. Replace
filters and front panel before using downdraft.
Be sure to engage TABS on front panel behind EARS as shown.
CAUTION
Failure to engage tabs properly may cause chimney
to jam and fail to raise up.
To clean inside chimney:
Lift FRONT PANEL up and out and take out the GREASE FILTERS.
Use a mild detergent. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLOTH, STEEL WOOL
PADS, OR SCOURING POWDERS. Replace filters and front panel
before using downdraft.
Be sure to engage TABS on front panel behind EARS as shown.
Servicing
It may be necessary to remove the downdraft blower system from
the cabinet in order to service components such as the blower
motor or air vent mechanism.
