Cooking Tips
The high air mo\vment ot this downdrafi:
system can increase the cooking times fiw
some roods. It may take longer to reach
high cooldng temperatures if the downdraft
is turned to high right mvay. A(!iust the iim
speed flw best cooldng results.
For best results when beating oil fiw deep
flying or when boiling/_ltel, use the fi'ont
surfilce units or wait until the water is
boiling or tile oil is at _i'}ing temperatures
befl)re turning on the down&air.
Thedown&aft may not comp/ete/ycapturea/I No
steam frompans on the front burners.
Canning
When canning fi_ods in a wate>bath canne_,
a gentle but steady boil must be maintained
continuously fiw the required time.
When camfing fi_ods in a pressure cannel.
the pressure must be maintained
c(mtinuouslv for the required time.
Use dthe blower at HIGH speed when
canning may reduce tile temperature
enough to stop boiling. While canning,
we recommend using the downdraft at
LOW speed and using the fl'ont sm_ime unit.

INSTALLATION SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC
SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE
THE FOLLOWING:
[]
[]
[]
Installation work and electric wiring
must be done by qualified person(s)
in accordance with all applicable codes
and standards, including fire-rated
construction.
Ducted fans must always be vented to
the outdoors.
When cutting or drilling into wall or
ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring
and other hidden utilities.
-&WARNING - Toreaucetheriskof
fire, use only metal ductwork.
(_[_) MPORTANT: These vents are
recommended for island installations.
Against-the-wall installations are
limited due to countertop depth
requirements. The vent and cooktop
combined depth requires an extra
deep flat countertop surface.
The countertop must be at least 26" deep
with a flat surface area of 231/2" or more, front
to back. (NOTE: Curved front models require
23%" minimum flat surface area.) In addition,
other clearances to the front edge of the
countertop must be considered.
See specific cutout illustrations with your
cooktop model to determine requirements.
* A countertop with Flat surface
a raised lip or rolled area
front edge may not
allow enough flat
area for installation.

Installation instructions
ADVANCE PLANNING
CLEARANCES
* Installation must conform with local codes.
* The downdraft system with blower, motor
and duct work will occupy the cabinet
below the countertop and cooktop.
* The blower/motor assembly can be located
below the cabinet floor. The assembly will
fit between 16" floor joists.
In this installation a transition to 6" round
is required,
* The blower motor assembly can also be
installed outdoors. Order JXBC67 for
remote blower installations outdoors.
* Refer to Dimensions and Clearances for
information on appropriate placement
and necessary clearances when planning
installation.
* Refer to your specific cooktop installation
instruction for other appropriate clearances.
* Avoid placing cabinetry directly above the
cooking surface when possible.
-if cabinetry is used above the cooking
surface:
Installation must conform with local codes.
Use cabinets no more than 13" deep.
Maintain 30" minimum clearance between
cooktop and unprotected cabinets directly
above cooktop.
If clearance is less than 30;' protect cabinet
bottoms with flame-retardant millboard at
least 1/4" thick or gypsum board at least
3/16" thick covered with 28 gauge sheet
steel or .02" thick copper.
Clearance between cooktop and protected
cabinetry must not be less than 24':
EXCEPTION: installation of a listed
microwave oven or cooking appliance over
the cooktop shall conform to the installation
instructions packed with that appliance.
* Working areas adjacent to the cooktop
should maintain 18" minimum clearance
between countertop and cabinet bottom.
DUCTWORK
Prepare ductwork to vent to the outdoors.
Use the shortest and straightest duct run
possible.
The maximum permissible length for duct
run is 150 feet.
Refer to Duct Fittings chart to calculate
equivalent length for various duct
configurations.
The downdraft blower system is designed
to use 31/4" x 10" ductwork. It can be
transitioned to 6" round.
,, Ductwork MUST be vented to the outside--
never into a crawl space, attic or other
enclosed space.
Determine the need for a wall cap or roof
cap. Purchase the cap in advance from
your home building center or plumbing
supply.
COOKTOP ELECTRICAL AND
GAS LOCATION
Plan the placement of the electrical outlet
and gas (if used) carefully. Gas or electrical
outlets cannot be placed on the back wall of
the cabinet because it may interfere with the
downdraft plenum.
Install a standard electrical outlet within
reach of the vents' 2 foot long power cord.
* The vent and a gas cooktop combination
can operate from the same 120V standard
duplex outlet.
* Electric cooktops must operate from
a separate 240V junction box.
REMOTE SWITCH
(for 36" models only}
The downdraft vent has a separate
raise/lower switch. Plan to install the switch
in a convenient location outside of the
vent!cooktop cutout.

Installation instructions
iNSTALLATiON POSSiBiLiTiES
When the kitchen design calls for an against
the wall installation, move 24" deep base
cabinet forward, 3" to 5'.' Filler panels can
be angled or flat to fill the space between
adjacent cabinets.
In an island or peninsula, the countertop can
be extra deep to provide seating opposite of
the cooktop. Adding base cabinets on each
side of the cooktop provides extra storage
and countertop work space.
Maintain cutout clearances to front edge as specified.

INSTALL THE COOKTOP
With the downdraft in the "down" position,
place the cooktop into the cutout.
Push the cooktop back until the back edge
of the cooktop just barely touches the front
edge of the downdraft cover.
Using a dime as a thickness gauge, align
the cooktop so that there is a minimum
uniform gap of 0.05" (the thickness of
a dime) between the cooktop and the
downdraft cover.
NOTE: Do not force the downdraft cover to
move rearward when aligning the cooktop.
This may cause the downdraft cover to
impact and damage the cooktop when the
vent is raised and lowered.
NOTES:
