Before you start,,,
Your safety and the safety of
others is very important.
We have provided many important
safety messages in this manual and
on your appliance. Always read and
obey all safety messages.
This is the safety alert
symbol.This symbol alerts
that can kill
or hurt you and others. All safety
messages will be preceded by the
safety alert symbol and the word
"DANGER" or "WARNING". These
words mean:
You will be kitled or seriously
injured if you don't follow
instructions.
You can be killed or seriously
injured if you don't follow
instructions.
All safety messages will identify the
hazard, tell you how to reduce the
chance of injury, and tell you what
can happen if the instructions are
not followed.
To eliminate the risk of burns by
reaching over heated surface units,
cabinet storage space located above
the surface units should be avoided. If
cabinet storage is to be provided, the
risk can be reduced by installing a
range hood that projects horizontally a
minimum of 5 inches (12.7 cm) beyond
the bottom of the cabinets.
Important: Observe a[I governing
codes and ordinances. Failure to meet
codes and ordinances could lead to
fire or electrical shock.
Proper installation is your responsibility.
oMake sure you have everything
necessary for correct installation.
oHave a qualified technician install
this cooktop.
•Comply with the electrical specifications
on the model/serial rating plate.
Model/serial rating plate is located on
the bottom of the cooktoF Write both
numbers down on the front cover now
before installing cooktoF
Downdraft cooktop location should be
away from strong draft areas, such as
windows, doors and strong heating vents
or fans. Locate cooktop for convenient
use in kitchen.
Grounded electrical system is required.
See "Electrical requirements," Page 6.
Venting system must terminate
outdoors.
AH openings in the wall or floor where
cooktop is to be installed must be
sealed.
it is the customer's responsibility to
contact a qualified electrical installer,
to make sure that the electrical
installation is correct, and to make
sure the electrical installation fotlows
the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70 -- latest edition*, or
CSA Standards 022.1=94, Canadian
Electrical Code, Part 1 and C22.2 No.
0=M91 =latest edition**, and nil Iocat
codes and ordinances.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock, or injury to persons,
observe the following:
Installation work and electrical wiring
must be done by qualified person(s) in
accordance with all applicable codes
and standards, including fire-rated
construction.
Sufficient air is needed for proper
combustion and exhausting of gases
through the flue (chimney) of fuel
burning equipment to prevent back
drafting. Follow the heating equipment
manufacturer's guideline and safety
standards such as those published by
the American Society for Heating,
Refrigeration and Air Conditioning
Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local
code authorities.
When cutting or drilling into wall or
ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring
and other hidden utilities.
Ducted fans must always be vented to
the outdoors.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire,
use only metal ductwork.
This downdraft cooktop is Not approved
for use in mobile homes.

Venting system requirements
Venting system must terminate to the
outside.
Do Not terminate the vent system in an
attic or other enclosed space.
Do Not use 4qnch (10 cm) laundry-type
wall caps.
Use metal vent only, Exception: See
"optional venting under a concrete
slab", in "Venting methods" below,
Rigid metal vent is recommended, Do
not use plastic or metat foil vent.
To reduce risk of fire and to properly
exhaust air, be sure to vent air outside,
Do Not vent exhaust air into spaces
within walls or ceilings or into attics,
crawt spaces or garages,
Before making cutouts, make sure there
is proper clearance within the wall or
floor for the exhaust vent.
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.
Vent materials needed for installation
are not supplied.
Determine which venting method to use.
See "Venting methods," below.
Next, determine the equivalent vent length
using chart on Page 5. The maximum
equivalent vent length is 60 feet (18.3 m).
The blower housing is set to vent
straight out the back from the cooktop. To
vent down, left or right, see "Installation,"
Step 2, Page 6.
This downdraft cooktop is rated at
60 feet (18.3 m) of straight vent or the
equivalent.
• if vent length is 10 feet (3 m) or less,
6" (15.2 cm) diameter round vent may
be used.
oif vent length is more than 10 feet
(3 m), use 6" (15.2 cm) diameter round
or 3-1/4" x 10" (8.3 x 25.4 cm)
rectangular vent.
Thermal breaks: In areas of extreme
cold weather, it may be necessary to
provide a short length of nonmetallic duct
as close to the wall as possible to prevent
thermal conduction along the metal vent.
For altitudes above 4,800 ft (1372 m),
reduce recommended vent run by 20%.
For the most efficient and
quietest operation:
[_ Use 26-gauge minimum galvanized or
25-gauge minimum aluminum metal
vent. Poor-quality pipe fittings can
reduce air flow. (Note: Local codes may
require a heavier-gauge material.)
Flexible metal vent is Not
recommended.
[_ Do Not exhaust more than one
downdraft cooktop into a single vent
system.
[_ The length of vent and number of
elbows should be kept to a minimum to
provide efficient performance.
[_ The size of the vent should be uniform.
[_ Use the fewest number of 90° elbows.
[_ Do Not install two elbows together.
[_ Make sure there is a minimum of 18"
(45.7 cm) of straight vent between the
elbows if more than one elbow is used.
(Elbows too close together cause
excess turbulence that reduces airflow.)
[_ Do Not use a 5" (12.7 cm) elbow in a
6" (15.2 cm) or 3-1/4" x 10"
(8.3 x 25.4 cm) system.
[_ Do Not reduce back to 5" (12.7 cm)
system after using 6" (15.2 cm) or
3-1/4" x 10" (8.3 x 25A cm) fittings.
[_ Avoid forming handmade crimps.
Handmade crimps may restrict airflow.
[_ Use the recommended vent caps for
proper performance. If an alternate wall
or roof cap is used, be certain cap size
is not reduced and that it has a
backdraft damper.
[_ Use duct tape to seal all joints in the
vent system.
[_ Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof
opening around the cap.
Venting methods
The cooktop may be vented through the wall or floor. Common venting methods and the
types of materials needed are shown.
Make sure there is proper clearance within the wall or floor for exhaust vent before
making cutouts.
