LOCATION REQUIREMENTS
NOTE:
Downdraft vent is installed directly behind the cooktop. Install the
downdraft vent first, then install the cooktop.
IMPORTANT:
Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
●
Have a qualified technician install the downdraft vent. It is the installer’s
responsibility to comply with installation clearances specified on the
model/serial rating plate. The model/serial rating plate is located on the front of
the downdraft vent above the terminal box cover.
●
Downdraft vent location should be away from strong draft areas, such as
windows, doors, and strong heating vents or fans.
●
Cabinet opening dimensions that are shown must be used. Given dimensions
provide minimum clearance.
●
Consult the cooktop manufacturer installation instructions before making any
cutouts.
Check that the downdraft vent and cooktop location will clear the
cabinet walls, backsplash, and rear wall studs inside the cabinet.
Check for the minimum distance between the front edge of the
countertop and the front edge of the cooktop. The minimum horizontal
distance between the overhead cabinets is the same as the width of the
installed downdraft vent.
●
All openings in ceiling and wall where the downdraft vent will be installed must
be sealed.
●
Grounded electrical outlet is required. See “Electrical Requirements” section.
●
When installing the downdraft vent, the cabinet drawer will need to be removed
and the drawer front installed permanently to the cabinet.
Cabinet Construction:
Downdraft vent is designed for use in a cabinet with a depth of 24" (61 cm).
Some installations require a countertop deeper than 25" (63.5 cm). See the
Countertop Cutout Dimensions section.
The maximum depth of the overhead cabinet is 13" (33 cm). Overhead cabinets
installed at either side of the downdraft vent must be 18" (45.7 cm) above the
cooking surface.
For Mobile Home Installations
The installation of this range hood must conform to the Manufactured Home
Construction Safety Standards, Title 24 CFR, Part 328 (formerly the Federal
Standard for Mobile Home Construction and Safety, title 24, HUD, Part 280) or
when such standard is not applicable, the standard for Manufactured Home
Installation 1982 (Manufactured Home Sites, Communities and Setups) ANSI

dimensions, location dimensions and installation details.
