WARNING
TO REDUCE THERISK OF FIRE,ELECTRIC SHOCK, ORINJURY
TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
1. Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer.
Ifyou havequestions, contactthe manufacturerattheaddress

and lock the service disconnecting means to prevent power
from being switched on accidentally. When the service
disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a
prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.
3. Installationworkandelectricalwiringmustbedonebyaqualified
person(s)inaccordancewithallapplicablecodesandstandards,
including fire-rated construction codes and standards.
4. Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting
of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment
to prevent backdrafting. Follow the heating equipment
manufacturer’s guideline and safety standards such as those
published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA),
and the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and
Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local code
authorities.
5. When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage
electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
6. Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.
7. To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.
8. Do not install this product with the activating switch directly
behind a burner or element. Minimum distance between the
switch and the edge of the burner should be 4 inches.
9. Loose-fitting or hanging clothing should never be worn when
operating this appliance. They may be ignited by burners/
elements on cooktop.
10.Children should not be left alone or unattended in the area
where this appliance is in use.
11. This unit must be grounded.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:
a) Never leave surface units unattended at high settings.
Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may
ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.
b) Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when
cooking flaming foods.
c) Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be
allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
d) Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate
for the size of the surface element.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE
EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE
FOLLOWINGa:
1. SMOTHERFLAMES withaclose-fittinglid, cookiesheet,
or metal tray, then turn off the burner. BE CAREFUL TO
PREVENT BURNS. If the flames do not go out immedi
ately, EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
2.
NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN - You may be burned.
3. DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels
- a violent steam explosion will result.
4. Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
A. You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher, and you
already know how to operate it.
B. The fire is small and contained in the area where it
started.
C. The fire department is being called.
D. You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.

All Units
1. Refer to the cooktop installation instructions for dimensions
of cooktop, countertop cut-out, and cabinet requirements.
The Models VIPR102SS and VIPR102RSS will fit in most 30"
wide cabinets the Models VIPR162SS and VIPR162RSS will
fit in most 36" wide cabinets and the Models VIPR182SS
and VIPR182RSS will fit most 48" wide cabinets. However, it
is recommended that oversized cabinets be used for easier
installation.
2. Cooktop depth can vary greatly from one to another. This
may cause the fit of these two appliances to be rather tight.
Pay special attention to the areas of potential interference
highlighted above. A countertop with (A) a raised lip and/or (B)
a backsplash may not allow enough flat countertop for a proper
installation. Note that 2" of flat countertop is required behind
cooktop and that 1-3/4" is necessary between the back edge of
the cooktop and the inside of cabinet back.

1. The interior down-
draft blower system is
designed for use with
3-1/4" x 10" duct-
work (can be transi-
tioned to 6" round).
Three different dis-
charge directions are
available with side-to-
side adjustment for
accurate alignment of
ductwork.
2. For best perfor-
mance: Choose the

PLAN THE WIRING
Interior Blower Installation Exterior Blower Installation
1. The Exterior Downdraft Blower system draws 6 AMPS and
requires a 120 VAC, 60 Hz circuit.
2. The downdraft has a 2 ft. long power cord with a 3-pronged
plug. Plan to provide a grounded outlet in a location which
will allow the unit’s power cord to reach.
IMPORTANT - LOCATION OF ELECTRICAL OUTLET:
If Models VIPR102SS or VIPR102RSS are being installed
in a 30" wide cabinet...
or Models VIPR162SS or VIPR162RSS are being
installed in a 36" wide cabinet...
or Models VIPR182SS or VIPR182RSS are being
installed in a 48" wide cabinet...
...the outlet cannot be located on the back wall of
cabinet.
In these cases, the width of the downdraft covers nearly
theentirewidth ofthe backwall ofthe cabinet.Soyoumust
either:
• mount the electrical box to a side wall or cabinet floor
- at least 12 inches from the back wall.
• mount the electrical box to a wall stud behind the
cabinet - where it will not be covered by the downdraft.
Then provide a clearance hole in the back wall of
the cabinet.
PLEASE NOTE: External blowers must be hard-wired using
locally-supplied wire and connected to the downdraft plug
(included).
1. The Interior Downdraft Blower system draws 4 AMPS and
requires a 120 VAC, 60 Hz circuit.
2. The downdraft has a 2 ft. long power cord with a 3-pronged
plug. Plan to provide a grounded outlet in a location which
will allow the unit’s power cord to reach.
IMPORTANT - LOCATION OF ELECTRICAL OUTLET:
If Models VIPR102SS or VIPR102RSS are being installed
in a 30" wide cabinet...
or Models VIPR162SS or VIPR162RSS are being
installed in a 36" wide cabinet...
or Models VIPR182SS or VIPR182RSS are being
installed in a 48" wide cabinet...
...the outlet cannot be located on the back wall of
cabinet.
In these cases, the width of the downdraft covers nearly
the entire width of the back wall of the cabinet. So you
must either:
• mount the electrical box to a side wall or cabinet floor
- at least 12 inches from the back wall.
• mount the electrical box to a wall stud behind the
cabinet - where it will not be covered by the downdraft.
Then provide a clearance hole in the back wall of
the cabinet.
PREPARE THE DOWNDRAFT
Interior Blower Installation
The downdraft is shipped without a blower. Purchase a Model
VIDV500 Interior Blower and mount it to the downdraft as follows:
1. Place the downdraft on its back on a table of flat work surface.
2. Remove the 4 nuts and 2 clamp channels.
3. Remove 2 screws and the gear motor cover.
4. Carefully position the blower under the bottom flange of
the downdraft with the 3¼" x 10" discharge pointed in the
desired direction.
5. Connect motor plug.
6. Replace the gear motor cover and 2 sheet metal screws.
7. Replace the 2 clamp channels and start the 4 nuts, do not
tighten.
8. Slide blower left of right to desired position. Use cover plate
(supplied) to close up any open space.
9. Tighten 4 nuts to secure top of blower. Use additional screws
(supplied) through bottom flange to secure bottom in blower.
