Determine the best route for ductwork; it can be routed in a
variety of ways depending on the kitchen layout.
IMPORTANT: The downdraft air discharge outlet for this unit is
øµ[µUHFWDQJXODU3ODQGXFWLQJDFFRUGLQJO\
Typical duct arrangement countertop series.
To maximize the ventilation performance of the vent system:
1. Minimize the duct run length and number of transitions
and elbows.
2. Maintain a constant duct size.
3. Seal all joints with duct tape to prevent any leaks.
4. Do not use any type of flexible ducting.
If needed, install any make up (replacement) air system in
accordance with local building code requirements. Visit
GEAppliances.com for available makeup air solutions.
• Install ductwork so the piece of duct nearest the downdraft
unit slots INTO the next piece of the duct. Secure the joints
with self-tapping screws and apply duct tape around the
joints to ensure an airtight seal.
