Important Safety Instructions
Do not install or operate this unit if it has been dam-•
aged, dropped, has damaged electrical wiring or
is not working properly. If the product is damaged
when received, immediately contact the dealer or
builder.
Install or locate this appliance only in accordance•
with these installation instructions and the Dacor
hood or downdraft vent installation instructions.
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service
or maintenance can cause serious personal injury or
property damage.
Before installing or servicing the in-line blower,•
make sure that power to the wiring is turned off at
the circuit breaker or fuse box. Make sure that the
service panel is locked or tagged to prevent power
from being switched on accidently.
To reduce the risk of electric shock or fire, the total•
combined current draw of the in-line blower and the
hood or downdraft vent must not exceed the maxi-
mum rated input current of the hood or downdraft
vent.
The installer must show the customer the location•
of the fuse or circuit breaker panel so that the cus-
tomer knows where and how to turn the power off.
WARNING
General Safety Precautions
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury or death when using this blower, follow basic safety precautions,
including the following:
A minimum of two people are required to safely•
install this appliance.
Never allow the filters or vent openings on the hood•
or downdraft vent to become blocked or clogged.
Do not allow foreign objects, such as cigarettes or
napkins, to be sucked into the vent holes.
Tape all duct joints securely to prevent combus-•
tion by-products, smoke or odors from entering the
home. Doing so will also improve system efficiency.
Do not route electrical wiring near hot surfaces.•
Do not ground the appliance with the neutral (white)•
house supply wire. A separate ground wire must be
utilized.
To prevent a damaged or non-functional system,•
complete electrical connections properly. Follow
the wiring diagrams carefully in the hood or in-line
blower installation instructions to ensure a proper
installation. After installation or service, make sure
that all blower wires are tightly connected to their
respective terminals.

Installation Planning
System Layout
WARNING
To avoid the risk of fire due to the unit overheating:
DO NOT• install this blower with a hood or raised
vent that has an internal blower.
DO NOT• install more than one blower to increase
the length of the duct run. Even small differences
between blower air flow rates can greatly reduce the
air draw by the hood or raised vent.
Consult the installation instructions for the raised vent•
or hood for complete layout and duct system plan-
ning instructions. Observe all location and duct system
design instructions.
The remote blower needs to be wired to turn on when•
the raised vent or hood is turned on by routing wiring/
conduit parallel to the duct work. Connect the wiring/
conduit to the raised vent or hood on one end and the
remote blower on the other. There is a 7/8” electrical
access hole on the bottom of the blower.
Blower Location and Mounting
Install the blower in a location that allows it to be•
accessed for service if necessary. There must be
enough room to remove the top cover of the unit
and enough room to access the power terminals and
mounting holes located inside.
The mounting location needs to allow for a cutout•
under the unit for the duct and wiring/conduit to pass
through the wall or roof into the blower assembly. See
Figure 1.
The mounting location must allow for a clearance of at•
least 15” (381mm) between the blower air discharge
and any obstructions (vents, pipes, etc.) See below.
Installation Planning and Preparation
Electrical Supply Requirements
The power for this blower is supplied via 1/2” 3-wire•
wiring/conduit (not included) by an approved Dacor
hood or raised vent. The wiring/conduit is installed
between the hood or raised vent and the blower and
shall be terminated on each end by a 1/2” UL certi-
fied strain relief. The power is turned on and off by the
power switch on the approved ventilation device.
The correct voltage, frequency and amperage must be•
supplied to the hood or raised vent and the blower from
a grounded, single phase circuit that is protected by a
properly sized circuit breaker or time-delay fuse. The
circuit must have the capacity to supply the combined
power requirements for the hood or raised vent and the
in-line blower. See the installation instructions for the
hood or raised vent to determine total power require-
ments in combination with the blower electrical specifi-
cations.

The above specifications are for reference only, See the
data label on the blower for exact specifications. If the
above specifications vary from the label on the blower, use
the data on the blower label.
It is the owner’s responsibility to ensure that the power
supply is installed by a licensed electrician. The electri-
cal installation must comply with the latest revision of the
National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA 70 (latest revision) and
local codes and ordinances.
A copy of the specification may be obtained from:
National Fire Protection Association

Quincy, Massachusetts 02269-9101
If the electrical service provided does not meet all product
specifications, or does not conform to the NEC or local
standards, do not proceed with the installation. Call a
licensed electrician to correct the electrical service before
proceeding.

The blower must also be mounted vertically or at a•
pitch of 2:12 or greater. If the pitch of the mounting sur-
face is less than 2:12, construct a roof curb to mount
the blower. See Installation Preparation for exact
dimensions.
When mounted in a exposed location shield it to pre-•
vent the accumulation of water in the chassis. On
horizontal installations, point the discharge in the same
direction as prevailing winds. When mounted vertically,
the discharge must point down.
Installation Preparation
Prepare the mounting surface and reinforce it if neces-1.
sary according to the Blower Location and Mounting
specifications starting on page 4.
Make a cutout in the center of the mounting location2.
according to Figure 1.
On roofs with a pitch of 2:12 or less, construct a roof3.
curb according to the specifications below. Attach it to
the mounting surface and seal it around the base.
Installation Planning and Preparation
Blower Location and Mounting (cont.)
Select a location that can properly support or can be•
reinforced to support the weight of the blower (see
weight table below). The unit requires a mounting sur-
face around the perimeter of the base of the unit 2”
in width and thick enough to accommodate the 8, 2
1/2” long mounting screws that are provided with the
unit. All contact surfaces between the blower and any
mounting surfaces must be solid and at right angles.
See Figure 1 for the required mounting surface dimen-
sions.

Installation
Before installing the blower, unpack the unit and check1.
for physical damage to the motor and blower assembly.
To do so, reach in through the intake collar and spin
the fan blades slowly. They should spin freely and qui-
etly without vibration.
Installation Instructions
Remove the blower’s top cover by removing the screws2.
around the edge that hold it in place.
Apply sealant between the blower and the mounting3.
surface where the flange around the edge of the blower
will rest.
Pick up the blower assembly and center it on the4.
mounting surface inserting the intake collar into the
cutout.
While holding the blower in place, fasten it to the5.
mounting surface with eight (8) mounting screws. The
mounting holes are located inside the blower assembly
chassis near the sides.
Install the duct work according to the installation6.
instructions for the hood or raised vent. Support the
duct weight as necessary to ensure properly sealed
joints.
