Advance Planning

Design Information

Remote Switch

The 30" and 36" Monogram models and the 36" Profile model have a separate raise/lower switch. Plan to install the switch in a convenient location outside of the vent/cooktop cutout.

Downdraft Vent and Cooktop Cutout

The installation of these downdraft vents with any GE or Monogram cooktop requires careful consideration. Before you begin, review the combination cutout illustrations on page 6.

Countertop Requirements

The countertop must have a deep flat surface to accommodate the cooktop and the vent. Countertops with a rolled front edge and backsplash may not provide the flat surface area required.

Base Cabinet Requirements

The base cabinet must be deep enough to accommodate the minimum clearance to the front of the countertop, the cooktop burner box

and the vent.

Before you begin, you must:

1.Review countertop dimension illustrations to be sure you will have enough flat countertop surface.

2.Check to be sure that the total countertop depth required (including minimum cutout to front edge depth) allows enough space for a backsplash.

3.Review the cabinet illustration. Check to be sure the interior cabinet depth will house the cooktop burner box, the vent and the cutout clearance from the front.

4.When countertop and cabinet depth present a problem, review Creative Solutions.

5.Read this book completely to accurately plan the installation location, clearances and ductwork requirements.

With careful planning, you can achieve a custom look with minimal adjustments.

Creative Solutions

•When the kitchen design calls for an against- the-wall installation, move the base cabinet forward 3" to 5". Filler panels or complementary moldings can be added to exposed cabinet sides.

•In an island or peninsula, use an extra-deep countertop. The countertop overhang at the front can be adjusted to meet setback to cutout requirements.

•When the cutout to the front edge of the countertop requirement is more than 2", add a bullnose trim to the front edge of the countertop. Include the trim thickness when measuring the front edge to cutout requirement. By adding the trim, the cooktop can be moved forward, providing additional countertop depth and interior cabinet space.
