• To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork. Do not use flexible plastic ducting.
• To reduce risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, be sure to duct air outside – Do not vent
exhaust air into spaces within walls or ceilings or into attics, crawl spaces, or garages.
Compatible Blowers with the Downdraft Vent System
• Internal blower model HBD600I.
• Remote blower model HBD1200E or Remote Blower Models max 2.8 A.
• This downdraft unit may only be used in connection with the above DCS internal or remote blowers.
Compatible Cooktops with the Downdraft Vent System
The Downdraft Vent System is meant to be installed with residential use cooktops, cooktops/oven combinations,
freestanding ranges WITH UT backguards and range tops. This product is not recommended for use with ranges which

may require additional space behind the range for oven venting R with freestanding ranges WITH backguards. Always
consult all product installation instructions for correct dimensions and clearances.
Make certain any cooktop installed is appropriate for use with a downdraft vent system.
Venting Requirements
Attention should be given to ensure that any applicable regulations concerning the discharge of exhaust air are fulfilled.
For optimal efficiency use the shortest and straightest duct route possible and use rigid or semi-rigid ducting for reduced
noise and increased airflow. For best results, internal blowers should use 6” (152 mm) round ducting and remote
blowers should use 10” (254 mm) round ducting. Flexible metal ducting should only be used as a last resort (ie in difficult
installations) and if used ensure that it is straight and smooth and extended as much as possible.
Make sure there is proper clearance within the wall or floor for exhaust duct before making cutouts. Do not cut a joist or
stud unless absolutely necessary. If a joist or stud must be cut, then a supporting frame must be constructed.
To reduce the risk of fire and electric shock, install this
appliance only with remote blower models rated maximum 2.8
A, and are suitable for use with solid state speed controls.
Plan the Ductwork
The internal blower can be mounted to the front or back of the downdraft unit and be ducted in multiple directions: left,
right, down, forward or backwards. The remote blower can be ducted downwards from the front or back of the downdraft
unit.
In the event of installations where the blower is located on the back of the downdraft unit, it is advised to leave an
access door or opening to reach the bottom of the downdraft unit, as well as where the wiring box and blower is located
should service be needed.
Calculate the Duct Run Length
The ductwork length should not exceed 55 equivalent feet (16.7 m) for 6” (152 mm) round duct, or 75 equivalent feet
(22.9 m) for 10” (254 mm) round duct. Calculate the length of the ductwork by adding the equivalent feet listed in the
table below for each piece of duct in the complete system. If flexible metal ductwork is used, each foot (312 mm) of

flexible metal ductwork is equivalent to two feet (617 mm) of straight metal ductwork when calculating the duct run
length.
For best results the size of the ductwork should be uniform and use no more than three 90° elbows. Make sure that
there is a minimum of 24” (607 mm) of straight duct between elbows if more than one is used. Round duct is
recommended instead of rectangular duct especially if elbows are needed. Rectangular duct should be transitioned to
minimum 6” (152 mm) round for internal blowers and 10” (254 mm) round for remote blowers as soon as possible.
EQUIVALENT LENGTH EXAMPLE CALCULATION
45° elbow 5 feet (1.5 m) 9 feet straight duct 9 feet (2.8 m)
90° elbow 7 feet (2.1 m) 2 x 90° elbows 14 feet (4.3 m)
90° flat elbow 12 feet (3.7 m) Wall cap 0 feet (0.0 m)
Wall cap 0 feet (0.0 m) Complete system 23 feet (7.0 m)
• This appliance is heavy and requires two persons for unpacking and installation.
• Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in accordance with all
applicable codes and standards.
• Wear gloves to protect against sharp edges.
• When planning the cutout for the downdraft unit:
◦ Draw both the cooktop and downdraft unit cutouts on the countertop before making any
cuts.
◦ Check that there is enough room in the cabinet for both the cooktop and the downdraft unit.
Failure to follow these warnings could result in damage to the countertop.
• To avoid damage to motor bearings and impellers, keep drywall spray, construction dust, etc.
away from the blower.
The manufacturer is not liable for any damage caused by not following these instructions.
1. Preparing for Installation
Before installing your downdraft vent system:

• Please read the instructions carefully.
• Unpack the downdraft unit and place on a flat protected surface.
• Ensure the voltage (V) and the frequency (Hz) indicated on the serial plate match
• the voltage and frequency of the installation site.
• Check that the area around the installation area is clear of any electrical cables and pipes etc.
• Be aware of kitchen cabinets and splash backs in the area of the downdraft vent system and the cooktop.
Ensure that the area where the downdraft unit rises is free of obstacles. Also be aware performance may be
reduced by strong drafts from windows or doors etc.
• The downdraft unit surfaces can be damaged during installation if grazed or knocked by tools. Please take care
to protect the surfaces during installation.
• Temporarily mark the center of the cooktop according to the information given in the ‘Installation instructions –
Cabinet cutout dimensions’ section.
• The downdraft unit is installed directly behind the cooktop. For easiest installation, install the downdraft vent
system first, then the cooktop.
• Remove any cardboard packaging from within the blower impeller.
2. Prepare the Downdraft Unit for the Intended Blower
Internal Blower
• Remove the 10” (254 mm) blower connection plate from the front of the downdraft unit Fig.1.
• Attach the over counter mounting brackets in place with the two 3/16” (5 mm) screws provided Fig.2.
• Screw the support leg mounting brackets to the side of the downdraft unit using two 5/16” (8 mm) screws
each, do not fully tighten the screws. The brackets are different for the right and the left side. Attach them
with mounting clip (A) pointing up.
Remote Blower
• The downdraft unit comes ready for installation with the 10” (254 mm) remote blower connection plate
installed on the front of downdraft unit and the cover plate installed onto the back.
• To connect the remote blower to the back of the downdraft unit swap the plates over (see Fig. 3 and 4)
• Attach the over counter mounting brackets in place with the two 3/16” (5 mm) screws provided Fig.2.
• Screw the support leg mounting brackets to the side of the downdraft unit using two 5/16” (8 mm) screws
each, do not fully tighten the screws. The brackets are different for the right and the left side. Attach them
with mounting clip (A) pointing up.

3. Temporarily Insert the Downdraft into the Cabinet
• With the assistance of another person, lift the downdraft unit into the prepared cutout in the cabinet. The over
counter mounting brackets should rest on the countertop.
• Secure the downdraft unit to the countertop with two 19/32” (15 mm) screws.
• Install the under counter mounting brackets underneath the countertop for additional support. First, loosely
screw the brackets into the sliding nuts in the downdraft unit using 3/16” (5 mm) screws and push them up under
the countertop. Pre-drill the mounting holes into the countertop from underneath. Check that the mounting
screws are the proper length and will not extend through the countertop surface when tightened Fig.5.
