Instructions

Installation of the downdraft system. Read these instructions completely and carefully.

IMPORTANT: These vents are recommended for island installations. Against-the-wall installations are limited due to countertop depth requirements. The vent and cooktop combined depth requires an extra deep flat countertop surface.

Instructions Safety

■The countertop must be at least 26″ deep with a flat surface area of 231⁄2″ or more, front to back (NOTE: JGP932S requires 233⁄4″ flat surface area and JP350SC, JP930SC and JP938SC require 235⁄8″ flat surface area).

In addition, other clearances to the front edge of the countertop must be considered.

■–See specific cutout illustrations with your cooktop model to determine requirements.

–A countertop with a raised lip or rolled front edge may not allow enough flat area for installation.

Consumer Support Troubleshooting

■Installation must conform with local codes.

■The downdraft system with blower, motor and duct work will occupy the cabinet below the countertop and cooktop.

■The blower/motor assembly can be located below the cabinet floor. The assembly will fit between 16″ floor joists.

■–In this installation a transition to 6 ″ round is required.

■The blower motor assembly can also be installed outdoors. Order JXBC57 for remote blower installations outdoors.

■Refer to “Cooktop Clearances” for information on appropriate placement and necessary clearances when planning installation.

■Refer to your specific cooktop installation instruction for other appropriate clearances.

■Avoid placing cabinetry directly above the

8cooking surface when possible.

If cabinetry is used above the cooking surface:

–Installation must conform with local codes. –Use cabinets no more than 13″ deep.

–Maintain 30″ minimum clearance between cooktop and unprotected cabinets directly above cooktop.

–If clearance is less than 30″, protect cabinet bottoms with flame-retardant millboard at least 1/4″ thick or gypsum board at least 3/16″ thick covered with 28 gauge sheet steel or .02″ thick copper.

–Clearance between cooktop and protected cabinetry must not be less than 24.″

EXCEPTION: Installation of a listed microwave oven or cooking appliance over the cooktop shall conform to the installation instructions packed with that appliance.

■Working areas adjacent to the cooktop should maintain 18″ minimum clearance between countertop and cabinet bottom.
