TION INSTRUCTIONS

POWER SUPPLY

This downdraft vent must be supplied with 120V, 60 

Hz. and connected to an individual, properly grounded 

branch circuit, protected by a 15- or 20-ampere circuit 

breaker or time-delay fuse.
A properly grounded 3-prong receptacle should be 

located within reach of the vent’s two-foot power cord. 

•  Gas Cooktops

   If this vent is installed in combination with a GE or 

Monogram gas cooktop, it may operate from the same 

duplex outlet.

•  Electric Cooktops

   If this vent is installed in combination with a GE or 

Monogram electric cooktop, the vent must operate 

from a separate 120V outlet.

Locate the receptacle inside the cabinet on the right side 

wall (see illustration). The receptacle cannot be placed 

on the back of the cabinet wall where it may interfere 

with the downdraft plenum. 
The downdraft vent power cord is to be routed beneath 

the cooktop and routed away from heat generated by the 

cooktop.
Ensure that the cooktop is installed per manufacturer’s 

installation instructions.

IMPORTANT

(Please read carefully)

The power cord of this appliance is equipped with 

a three-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a 

standard three-prong grounding wall receptacle to 

minimize the possibility of electric shock. The customer 

should have the wall receptacle and circuit checked by 

a qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle is 

properly grounded and has correct polarity.

• 

 Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is 

encountered, it is the personal responsibility and 

obligation of the customer to have it replaced with a 

properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle.

Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the 

third (ground) prong from the power cord.

Do not use an extension cord or adapter plug with this 

appliance. Follow National Electrical Code or prevailing 

local codes and ordinances.
