INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

EXTERIOR-MOUNTED VENT MOTOR

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire and electrical shock, install the downdraft only with remote blower systems that are sold by Whirlpool Corporation. Model numbers UXI0600DYS (600 cfm) and UXI01200DYS (1200 cfm).

NOTE: Exterior-mounted vent motor installations require an approved in-line blower motor system. Model numbers UXI0600DYS (600 cfm) and UXI1200DYS (1200 cfm) are available from your dealer or authorized parts supplier. See “Blower motor system” in the “Accessories” section.

Venting Methods

Determine which venting method is best for your application. Vent system can terminate through the wall or roof. A wall cap or roof cap is required.

NOTES:

Venting through a concrete slab is not recommended.

The in-line blower motor system must be placed in an enclosed area and can be located in a utility room, basement, crawl space or attic. Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

10" (25.4 cm) round vent duct is required for connections to the retractable downdraft vent system outlet cover and the in-line blower motor inlet and outlet covers. 10" (25.4 cm) round vent duct is recommended for the retractable downdraft vent system with in-line blower motor system. Transitioning to different size ducting will reduce the efficiency of the retractable downdraft vent system.
