Location Requirements

NOTE: Downdraft vent is installed directly behind the cooktop. Install the downdraft vent first, then install the cooktop.

IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

■Have a qualified technician install the downdraft vent. It is the installer’s responsibility to comply with 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 terminal box cover.

■Downdraft vent location should be away from strong draft areas, such as windows, doors, and strong heating vents or fans.

■Cabinet opening dimensions that are shown must be used. Given dimensions provide minimum clearance.

■Consult the cooktop manufacturer installation instructions before making any cutouts.

Check that the downdraft vent and cooktop location will clear the cabinet walls, backsplash, and rear wall studs inside the cabinet.

Check for the minimum distance between the front edge of the countertop and the front edge of the cooktop. The minimum horizontal distance between the overhead cabinets is the same as the width of the installed downdraft vent.

■All openings in ceiling and wall where the downdraft vent will be installed must be sealed.

■Grounded electrical outlet is required. See “Electrical Requirements” section.

■When installing the downdraft vent, the cabinet drawer will need to be removed and the drawer front installed permanently to the cabinet.

Cabinet Construction:

Downdraft vent is designed for use in a cabinet with a depth of 24" (61 cm). Some installations require a countertop deeper than 25" (63.5 cm). See the Countertop Cutout Dimensions chart.

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.
