This document provides installation instructions for Dacor Downdraft Raised Vents, specifically models ERV36-ER and ERV48-ER. These downdraft vents are designed for use with Dacor ER36D and ER48D series ranges. The manual emphasizes safety precautions, proper installation procedures, and technical specifications to ensure safe and efficient operation.

Function Description:

The Dacor Downdraft Raised Vent system is designed to extract smoke, fumes, and odors from cooking surfaces. It consists of the raised vent unit itself and a remote blower (Dacor models REMP3 or REMP16 are required for proper operation). The vent rises from the countertop when in use and retracts when not needed, providing a sleek and integrated look in the kitchen. The system is engineered to vent exhaust air to the outdoors, preventing recirculation of cooking by-products within the home.

Important Technical Specifications:

Electrical Supply: A 3-prong electrical outlet connected to a 120 Vac, 60 Hz, 15 Amp, grounded, dedicated circuit is required. The unit is supplied with a 28" (711 mm) power cord.
Remote Blower Power: The customer must supply conduit with a minimum current carrying capacity of 8 Amps to supply power to the remote blower from the raised vent.
Duct Work: The vent exhaust can be configured to vent through the back, bottom, or either side. The system requires a remote blower (REMP3 or REMP16) and appropriate duct work.
