Installing the Cooktop
Align the cooktop with the downdraft and
fasten cooktop in place.
NOTE: Accurate alignment of cooktop and downdraft is
necessary to ensure that there is not interference when
air vent is raised and lowered. There should be a gap of
1/16″–1/8″ between the back of the cooktop and the
front of the downdraft cover.
Installing the Electrical Wiring
Mount a standard wiring box, with 3-pronged,
120 volt, 60HZ outlet, inside the cabinet.
Make sure the downdraft’s power cord can
easily reach it.
Run the appropriate power cable into the
cabinet and connect it to the outlet.
Plug the downdraft’s power cord into the
outlet.
For Local Installation
The conduit on the blower is of sufficient length to connect to
the downdraft when the blower is mounted in the cabinet and
for some installations under the floor.
Plug the blower conduit into the mating connector
on the bottom of wiring compartment cover on the
downdraft. Fasten the wire box to the main unit
wiring compartment with the screws provided.
For Remote Installations
If the blower conduit is not long enough to reach the wiring
compartment on the downdraft, the leads can be extended.
Cut the blower leads approximately 3″ from
the plug on the end of the blower conduit.
Remove the wire box and conduit fitting from
the end of the blower conduit by loosening the
screw on the fitting.
Save the wire box and plug to complete the
connection at the downdraft vent in the house.
Use electrical cable and connectors that
conform to local codes (14 gauge min. is
recommended). Attach the wire box removed
from the blower conduit to the end of the wire
run at the vent. Attach the plug and 3″ leads to
the cable at the downdraft vent. Insert the plug
into the mating plug on the vent. Attach wire
box with screws to the vent.
Install appropriate electrical box with conduit
connectors near the blower.
Check that the red plastic anti-short bushing is
secured in the end of the conduit. Install the
blower conduit into the conduit connector on
the electrical box.
Attach the green ground lead from the blower
to the ground lead of the wiring of the
downdraft vent.
Connect the neutral and power leads from the
blower to the leads from the downdraft vent.
