Proper installation is your
responsibility. Make sure you have
everything necessary for correct
installation. It is the responsibility
of the installer to comply with the
installation clearances specified on
the model/serial rating plate.The
model/serial rating plate is located
on the front of the downdraft vent
above the wiring box cover.

where retractable downdraft vent
is to be installed must be sealed.
Electrical ground is required. See
"Electrical requirements:' page 3.
When installing downdraft vent,
the cabinet drawer will need to be
removed and the drawer front
installed permanently to cabinet.
NOTE: Downdraft vent is installed
directly behind the cooktop. Install
downdraft vent first.
Cabinet construction: Downdraft
vent is designed for use in a
cabinet with a depth of 24"
(61 cm). Some installations
require acountertop deeper than
25" (63.5 cm). See chart on page 5.
The maximum depth of the
overhead cabinet is 13" (33 cm).
Overhead cabinets installed at
either side of the downdraft vent
must be 18" (45.7 cm) above the
cooking surface.
See cooktop Installation
Instructions before making any
cutouts and for the minimum
distance between the front edge
of the countertop and front edge
of cooktop.The minimum
horizontal distance between the
overhead cabinets is the same as
the width of the installed
downdraft vent.
When installing a 36" (91.4 cm)
retractable downdraft vent with
"Create-A-Cooktop" modules, the
optional support must be installed
on the front of the downdraft vent.

Venting system must terminate to
the outside.
Do not terminate the vent system
in an attic or other enclosed area.
Do not use 4" (10.2 cm) laundry-
typewall caps
Do not use plastic or metal foil
vent.
Vent work needed for installation
is not supplied.
Wall cap is not provided with
interior-mounted motor.
Determine which venting method
to use. Vent system can extend
through either the wall or roof.
The length of vent system and
number of elbows should be kept
to a minimum to provide efficient
performance.
The size of the vent should be
uniform.
Do not install two elbows
together.
Use duct tape to seal all joints in
the vent system.
Use caulking tape to seal the
exterior wall or floor opening
around cap.
Do not cut joist or stud. If vent
cutout falls over a joist or stud, a
supporting frame must be
constructed.
Flexible metal vent is not
recommended. If it is used,
calculate each foot of flexible vent
as two feet of rigid metal vent.
Flexible elbows count twice as
much as standard elbows.
NOTE: Make sure there is proper
clearance within the wall or floor
before making exhaust vent
cutouts.
Recommended vent system
length: For either interior-mounted
or exterior-mounted blower
installations, vent system length
should not exceed the maximum
lengths listed in the "Maximum
length of vent system" chart. (See
this page for Interior-mounted
vent motor; page 9 for exterior-
mounted vent motor.)

For best performance, use no more
than three 90° elbows. If more than
one elbow is used, make sure that
there is a minimum of 24" (61 cm)
of straight vent between any two
elbows. Do not install two elbows
together. It is recommended that
you use round vent instead of
rectangular vent, especially if
elbows are required. If rectangular
vent is required, it should be
transitioned to 6" (15.2 cm) round
vent as soon as possible.
Determining the.length of

To calculate the length of system
you need, add the equivalent feet
for each vent piece that will be
needed. See example for 6"

Vent Length
10" (25.4 cm) round 40 ft. (12.2 m)
Vent length is given as a general
reference only. For a longer vent
run, or smaller vent system,
contact a qualified and trained
vent installer. Check with local
codes for makeup air
requirements, if any.
For best performance, use no more
than three 90° elbows. If more than
one elbow is used, make sure that
there is a minimum of 24 inches
(61 cm) of straight vent between
any two elbows. Do not install two
elbows together.
It is recommended that you use
round vent instead of rectangular
vent, especially if elbows are
required. If rectangular vent is
required, it should be transitioned
to 10" (25.4 cm) round vent as
soon as possible.
Determining the length of system
you need:
To calculate the length of system
you need, add the equivalent feet
for each duct piece that will be
needed. See example for 10"
(25.4 cm) round vent system.
