Step4

Preparing he Counte~p

Clearance between inside front of abinet and rear of countertop cutout must be 2&A” in order to accommodate cooktop depth.

w

A 1/2” wide flat area is required around the edge of opening for support of the unit. me cooktop unit must be level and sit squarely into countertop opening.

CarefuUy cut countertop opening according to the dimensions shown in the frustration. Be sure that opening is cut squarely, with sides parflel to each other and rear exatiy perpenditi to sides.

Step 5

~pating hr DuWork

N~: Ductwork ~fl be vented to ou~ide. DO NOT vent into a -, ce~, crawlspace, atic or any concded space.

Cut hole in cabinet wd or floor as appropriate for your initiation. Make sure exhaust duct is lo=ted between wd studs or floor joists.

Step 5A

Blower to Du-ork Nignment

h gened, the use of flexible ducting is discouraged because it can muse severely restricted airflow. However, if the blower outiet and the floor or wa~ duct location do NOT tign well, tien flexible M~X ducting can be used to adapt to an offset. Good atignrnent without use of flexible ducting is best

N~:

. Do not exceed the maximum recommended offset of 3“.

c Do not dow the flexible ducting to kink or collapse.

. Do stretch the flexible ducting as much as possible to etiate as much of the corrugation as possible.

●Do rotate blower stightiy to ~e off-set (see step 6).

Steps to Determine Flexible

Duting’s Equtialent Lengti

1.Measure the actual amount of offset

m-urn 3“ recornrnended). The effect upon airflow is dependent upon the amount of offset

2. Calculate the equivalent ducting Wowances

using:

~in. offset) x (14 Ft per inch)

=— Ft equivalent length.

3.Enter the dculated value into TABE 1 of this initiation instruction.

4.Ensure that the toti equivalent length of ducting does not exceed the mtium recommendation of lM feet
