requires a 120 VAC, 60 Hz circuit.

In these cases, the width of the downdraft covers nearly the
entire width of the back wall of the cabinet. So you must
either:
• mount the electrical box to a side wall or cabinet floor
- at least 12 inches from the back wall.
• mount the electrical box to a wall stud behind the

Then provide a clearance hole in the back wall of the
