CONTENTS These parts are included with your downdraft housing: 1 - Parts Bag 4 - Support Legs 1 - Trim Kit 1 - Electrical Panel 2 - Support Brackets PLANNING DO NOT INSTALL WITH COOKING PRODUCTS THAT HAVE A GRIDDLE. Due to its flexible design, this downdraft system can be used to exhaust airborne contaminants when cooking with a variety of gas or electric cooking appliances - including cooktops, rangetops, slide-in ranges and free-standing ranges. It can be mounted in island, peninsula, or conventional wall location. The blower (purchase separately) and electrical panel can be mounted to the downdraft unit, inside the cabinet, or in a convenient remote location. This unit can be easily installed following these basic steps: • Cut out the countertop opening. • Mount the unit in the cabinet. • Install the blower and electrical panel. • Connect the ductwork and electrical. • Mount the trim/door. • Install the cooking appliance. Note: the high level of air flow of this appliance may effect the gas flame on some types of gas cooktops. This is NORMAL and will cause no harm, but can be corrected by lowering the speed of the blower. ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS Model VDVI600 - Internal Flex: 120 VAC • 60 Hz • 3.0 A Models VDVE900, VDVE1200 - Exterior 120 VAC • 60 Hz • 6.0 A (max.) TAKE MEASUREMENTS 1. Refer to the cooktop installation instructions for dimensions of cooktop, countertop cut-out, and cabinet requirements. However, it is recommended that oversized cabinets be used for easier installation. 2. Cooktop depth can vary greatly from one to another. This may cause the fit of these two appliances to be rather tight. Pay special attention to the areas of potential interference highlighted below. A countertop with (A) a raised lip and/or (B) a backsplash may not allow enough flat countertop for a proper installation. Note that 2-3/4" of flat countertop is required behind cooktop and that 2-1/2" is necessary between the back edge of the cooktop and the inside of cabinet back. 2-1/2" 2-3/4" Note: Remove all protective film and packaging before operation. In order to remove all protective film and packaging, raise the ventilator housing and remove the front panel to access the filter area. PLAN THE DUCTWORK HOUSING A D FLEX BLOWER * B E C F * Remote blowers use 8" or 10" round remote discharge plate instead of flex blower. 1. The downdraft blower system is designed for use with 8" round ductwork using a flex blower or 10" Round ductwork using a remote blower. (Purchase blowers separately.) Six (6) different discharge connections are available - with side-to-side adjustment for accurate alignment of ductwork: A = 8" Round, Left Discharge out of Flex Blower B = 8" Round, Right Discharge out of Flex Blower C = 8" Round, Down Discharge out of Flex Blower (Electrical Box to be mounted remotely) D = 2" x 19¼", Left Discharge out of Housing to Remote Blower or Flex Blower in remote location. Use 2" x 19¼" to 8" round transition, 2" x 19¼" to 10" round transition, or 2" x 19¼" ductwork as appropriate. E = 2" x 19¼", Right Discharge out of Housing to Remote Blower or Flex Blower in remote location. Use 2" x 19¼" to 8" round transition, 2" x 19¼" to 10" round transition, or 2" x 19¼" ductwork as appropriate. F = 2" x 19¼", Rear Discharge out of Housing to Remote Blower or Flex Blower in remote location. Use 2" x 19¼" to 8" round transition, 2" x 19¼" to 10" round transition, or 2" x 19¼" ductwork as appropriate. 2. For best performance: Choose the ducting option which allows the shortest length of ductwork and a minimum number of elbows and transitions. Check location of floor joists, wall studs, electrical wiring or plumbing for possible interference. 3
