INSTALL DUCTWORK

CAUTION - 

BEFORE CUTTING HOLE IN CABINET FOR DUCT-

WORK:

 Check for interference with floor joists, wall studs, electri-

cal wiring or plumbing.

1. Cut hole in cabinet as well as holes in wall or floor as

necessary.

2. Mount the roof or wall cap and work back towards the cabinet,

attaching all ductwork, elbows and transitions as previously
planned. Tape all ductwork connections to make them secure
and air tight.

3. Connect ductwork (and transition, if required) to downdraft. If

necessary, LOOSEN nuts and screws that hold the blower in
place, and slide blower left or right to meet ductwork. Re-
tighten screws and nuts.

Note:

 A 3-1/4" x 10" collar is provided for installers who prefer to

rivet the ductwork to the unit. This will allow blower to be removed
and replaced easily in service situations without disturbing duct-
work.

INSTALL ELECTRICAL WIRING

1. Mount a standard wiring box, with 3-pronged receptacle,

inside the cabinet. Make sure the downdraft’s power cord can
easily reach it.

2. Run appropriate power cable into cabinet and connect it to

receptacle.

3. Plug the downdraft’s power cord into the outlet.

WIRING DIAGRAM

INSTALL COOKTOP

1. Align the cooktop with the downdraft and fasten cooktop in

place.

Note:

 Accurate alignment of cooktop and downdraft is necessary

to ensure that there is no interference when air vent is raised and
lowered. There should be a gap of 1/32"-1/16" between the back
of the cooktop and the front of the downdraft cover.

ADJUSTMENT

The downdraft is factory-adjusted for proper operation. However,
shipping and handling may affect the position of the activating
switch.

To adjust position of activating switch:

WARNING: To avoid possible electrical
shock, personal injury or death -
Disconnect electrical power.

1. If downdraft is plugged into electrical outlet, unplug it.

2. Lift air vent straight up and cock it slightly so it remains in the

UP position.

3. Remove switch cover from right end of air vent.

4. Loosen the 2 screws holding the switch bracket in place.

Position switch bracket so that activating switch just comes in
contact with underside of switch membrane. Tighten screws.

5. Replace switch cover, gently lower air vent into chimney, and

plug in power cord. Re-connect electrical power and check
operation.
