DOWNDRAFT VENTILATION
IMPORTANT NOTE: Wolf downdraft ventila-
tion systems are recommended for use with
Wolf framed electric, gas, induction and
multi-function cooktops. They cannot be used
with unframed electric cooktops and are not
recommended for use with the electric grill,
steamer and fryer modules. A Pro ventilation
hood is recommended for use with Wolf dual
fuel ranges, gas ranges, sealed burner range-
tops and gas rangetops.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Adowndraft can be
used with sealed burner rangetop Models
SRT304 and SRT366. An accessory trim kit
(SRT/DDTRIM) is necessary for this installation.
Contact your Wolf dealer for details.
Wolf downdraft ventilation systems are
available in 30" (762), 36" (914) and 451/2"
(1156) widths. The downdraft should be at
least as wide as the cooktop.
Models DD30I, DD36I and DD45I include a 500
CFM internal blower. Models DD30R, DD36R
and DD45R are shipped without a blower
assembly. Remote blowers are available as
sales accessories.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The downdraft must be
used with a Wolf-approved control module and
top cover.

INSTALLATION SPECIFICATIONS
Wolf downdraft Model DD30 will fit most 30"
(762) wide cabinets, Model DD36 will fit most
36" (914) wide cabinets and Model DD45 will fit
most 451/2"(1156) wide cabinets. It is recom-
mended that oversized cabinets be used for
easier installation. Cabinet backs may need to
be removed.
Wolf downdraft ventilation systems can be
mounted in an island, peninsula or standard
wall location.
The illustration below provides installation
dimensions for all Wolf downdraft models.
Pay careful attention to the areas of potential
interference as noted in the illustration.
IMPORTANT NOTE: To install a downdraft
system and a Wolf cooktop, you must allow for
aminimum 251/8"(638) flat counter space from
front to back. A countertop with a raised lip or
backsplash may not allow enough space for
proper installation. 23/8"(60) of flat countertop
is required behind the cooktop and 13/4"(44) is
necessary between the back edge of the
cooktop and inside of cabinet back.
If downdraft Model DD30 is installed in
combination with with two cooktops or inte-
grated modules, an integrated module support
(ISUPPORT) for downdraft ventilation is
required. ISUPPORT is not required for Model
DD45. If optional filler strips are used with the
cooktops or modules, be aware that they are
different for the Model DD30 and DD45. Be
sureto use the correct filler strip.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
For installation of a downdraft system with a
cooktop, refer to the cooktop installation
instructions for the dimensions of the cooktop,
countertop cut-out and cabinet requirements.
The depth of the cooktop may vary and will
affect the location of the downdraft in the
countertop.
The illustration below provides countertop
cut-out dimensions for downdraft Models
DD30, DD36 and DD45 installed with a Wolf 30"
(762) or 36" (914) cooktop or combination of
cooktop and/or modules.
IMPORTANT NOTE: For installation of a
downdraft with sealed burner rangetop Models
SRT304 and SRT366, an accessory trim kit
(SRT/DDTRIM) is necessary. Contact your
Wolf dealer for details. To obtain local dealer
information, visit the Locator section of our
website, wolfappliance.com.
CONTROL MODULE LOCATION
Installation of the remote-mounted control
module can be located anywhere within 10'
(3 m) of the downdraft assembly and a
minimum of 4" (102) from the outer edge of
cooktop element or burner. You will be
required to drill three holes and connect the
control module to the downdraft assembly
using the cable provided.
The remote-mounted control module is
23/8"(60) x 65/8"(168) and can be positioned
horizontally or vertically in the countertop. A
1" (25) diameter hole for the RJ45 connector
cable will be centered horizontally and verti-
cally in the back side of the control module.
Two 1/4"(6) diameter holes for the mounting
screws will be located 2" (51) from the center
of the RJ45 connector cable hole,one on each
side. Additional installation instructions are
provided with the control kit.
Mark the center of the control module on the
counter top. Measure2" (51) up (or left) and 2"
(51) down (or right) to locate holes for the
mounting screws.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The length of the control
module cable is 10' (3 m). You must plan the
installation of the control module to be within
10' (3 m) of the downdraft assembly.

You must follow all National Electrical Code
regulations. In addition, be aware of local
codes and ordinances when installing your
service.

WOLF DOWNDRAFT VENTILATION SYSTEMS
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Wolf downdraft ventilation systems require a
separate, grounded 120 V, 60 Hz power supply.
The service should have its own 15 amp circuit
breaker, and a grounded 3-prong receptacle
should be located within the reach of the 21/2'
(.8 m) power cord. The specific location of the
outlet is not critical, as long as it is within
reach of the power cord that is located mid-
way, top and bottom, on the right side of the
downdraft.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If Model DD30 is to be
installed in a 30" (762) wide cabinet, Model
DD36 in a 36" (914) wide cabinet or Model
DD45 in a 451/2"(1156) wide cabinet, the
electrical outlet cannot be located on the back
wall of the cabinet. The outlet can be placed in
an adjacent cabinet within reach of the power
cord. An access hole for the power cordmust
be drilled in the cabinet wall.
Choose the electrical location shown in
the illustration below that best suits your
installation.
Do not use an extension cord or two-
prong adapter. Electrical ground is
required on this appliance. Do not remove
the power supply cord ground prong.
The electrical outlet must be checked by
a qualified electrician to be sure that it is
wired with the correct polarity. Verify
that the outlet provides 120 V AC and is
properly grounded.
IMPORTANT
NOTE
You must follow
all National
Electrical Code
regulations. In
addition, be aware
of local codes and
ordinances when
installing your
service.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
ADJUSTABLE DISCHARGE
Wolf downdraft systems have an adjustable
discharge that will allow you to negotiate
ducting around floor joists and other obstacles.
Three different discharge locations are avail-
able with side-to-side adjustment for accurate
alignment of ductwork. Refer to the illustration
below for the discharge location and adjust-
ment that best suits your installation.
BLOWER CONSIDERATIONS
The blower will vary in size and is dictated by
the cooking surface, the volume of air that
needs to be moved and the length of the duct
run. A straight, short duct run with a limited
number of elbows and transitions will allow
the downdraft to perform most efficiently.
Aremote-mounted blower will minimize the
amount of blower noise, but will not eliminate
the noise completely.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Blower options vary with
the cooking surface. For recommendations,
refer to the Wolf Design Guide found on the
Wolf website, wolfappliance.com.

WOLF DOWNDRAFT VENTILATION SYSTEMS
Choose the ducting option that allows the
shortest length of ductwork and a minimum
number of elbows and transitions. Check the
location of floor joists, wall studs, electrical
wiring or plumbing for possible interference
with the ductwork. Refer to the illustrations
below for ducting options.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Use duct tape to seal the
connection between the blower outlet and
ductwork. Support the weight of the ductwork
as necessary to ensure sealed joints.
DUCTING CONSIDERATIONS
IMPORTANT NOTE: Always consult a
qualified HVAC Engineer for specific ducting
applications.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Wolf ventilation down-
draft systems must be vented to the outside.
Use only metal ductwork.
Wolf downdraft ventilation systems are
designed for use with 31/4"(83) x 10" (254)
ductwork for Models DD30I, DD36I and DD45I,
and 31/4"(83) x 14" (356) ductwork for Models
DD30R, DD36R and DD45R. Each can be
transitioned to 8" (203) or 10" (254) round
ductwork.
For best performance, 10" (254) round
ductwork is recommended. The downdraft will
operate most efficiently when the ductwork
does not exceed 40' (12 m) in length.
