Note: Telescopic downdraft vents are not
recommended to be installed with cooktops that are
flush mounted.
Approved for use with the following GE Profile™, and
GE cooktops–36" electric models, 36" gas sealed
burner models and 36" induction models.
Not Approved for use with standard burner gas
cooktops.
Note: The cooktop must be at least 26" deep with a
flat surface area of 23-1/2" or more, front to back. In
addition, other clearances to the front edge of the
countertop must be considered.
Note: Dimensions shown are for reference only. Before
cutting out countertop, refer to instructions packed with
downdraft and cooktop.
Note: Installation on cabinets/countertops against
the wall will not be possible in most applications.
Against the wall installations are limited to
dimension requirements. Refer to installation
instructions packed with product for further details.
JXRB67 Indoor Remote Accessory. Optional
accessory may be ordered for installation of motor
and blower assembly in an indoor remote location.

GE Profile™36" Telescopic Downdraft System
Plan the Ductwork
1. This downdraft blower system is designed for use with 3-1/4"
x 10" ductwork (can be transitioned to 6" round). Two different
discharge directions are available with side-to-side adjustment
for the accurate alignment of ductwork.
2. 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
joists, wall studs, electrical wiring or plumbing for possible
interference.
Steps to Determine Flexible Ducting’s Equivalent Length
1. Measure the actual amount of offset (Maximum 3" recom-
mended). The effect upon airflow is dependent upon the
amount of offset.
2. Calculate the equivalent ducting allowances using:
(__in. offset) x (14 Ft. per inch)
=__Ft. equivalent length.
3. Ensure that the total equivalent length of ducting does not
exceed the maximum recommendation of 100 feet.
