PLANNING
TYPICAL INSTALLATION
ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS
120 VAC • 60 Hz • 4.0 A
This downdraft blower system is designed to be used to exhaust airborne contaminants when cooking with a variety of gas or electric cooktops. It can be mounted in island, peninsula, or conventional wall locations.
This unit can be easily installed following these basic steps:
• Cut out the countertop opening.
- Mount the unit in the cabinet.
- Connect the ductwork and electrical.
• Install the cooktop.
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.
TAKE MEASUREMENTS
- Refer to the cooktop installation instructions for dimensions of cooktop, countertop cut-out, and cabinet requirements. Model DD1-E30AS will fit in most 30" wide cabinets. Model DD1-E36AS will fit in most 36" wide cabinets. However, it is recommended that oversized cabinets be used for easier installation.
- 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 above. 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" of flat countertop is required behind cooktop and that 1-3/4" is necessary between the back edge of the cooktop and the inside of cabinet back.
PLAN THE DUCTWORK
- The interior down-draft blower system is designed for use with 3-1/4" x 10" ductwork (can be transitioned to 6" round). Three different discharge directions are available with side-to-side adjustment for accurate alignment of ductwork.
- For best performance: Choose the ducting option which allows the shortest length of ductwork and a minimum number of elbows and transi-
tions. Check location of floor joists, wall studs, electrical wiring or plumbing for possible interference.
6" ROUND ELBOW EQUALS 8 FT. OF STRAIGHT DUCT | 3-1/4" X 10" TO 6" RD. TRANSITION EQUALS 2 FT. OF STRAIGHT DUCT | 3-1/4" X 10"90° ELBOW EQUALS 14 FT. OF STRAIGHT DUCT |
- The system will operate most efficiently when the ductwork does not exceed 40 feet of equivalent duct. The chart, above, shows equivalent feet of elbows and transitions. The number of feet of straight duct plus the equivalent feet of transitions and/or elbows to be used should equal 40 feet or less.
NOTE: The equivalent feet of various roof and wall caps has been taken into consideration. Do not include them in this calculation.
PLAN THE CABINET CUTOUTS
CAUTION: BEFORE CUTTING HOLE IN CABINET FOR DUCTWORK, check for interference with floor joists, wall studs, electrical wiring, or plumbing.
BOTTOM
DISCHARGE
PLAN THE WIRING
- The Downdraft Blower system draws 4 AMPS and requires a 120 VAC, 60 Hz circuit.
- The unit has a 18 in. long power cord with a 3-pronged plug. Plan to provide a grounded outlet in a location which will allow the unit's power cord to reach.
IMPORTANT - LOCATION OF ELECTRICAL OUTLET:
If Model DD1-E30AS is being installed in a 30" wide cabinet...
... or Model DD1-E36AS is being installed in a 36" wide cabinet...
... the outlet cannot be located on the back wall of cabinet.
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 cabinet, where it will not be covered by the downdraft. Then provide a clearance hole in the back wall of the cabinet.
PREPARE THE DOWNDRAFT
The downdraft is shipped with duct connector pointing toward the bottom of the unit. If you wish to change this orientation, follow the steps below:
- Place the downdraft on its back on a table of flat work surface.
- Remove the 4 nuts and 2 clamp channels.
- Remove 2 screws and the gear motor cover.
- Carefully position the blower under the bottom flange of the downdraft with the 3½" x 10" discharge pointed in the desired direction.
- Connect motor plug.
- Replace the gear motor cover and 2 sheet metal screws.
- Replace the 2 clamp channels and start the 4 nuts, do not tighten.
- Slide blower left of right to desired position. Use cover plate (supplied) to close up any open space.
- Tighten 4 nuts to secure top of blower. Use additional screws (supplied) through bottom flange to secure bottom in blower.
CUT COUNTERTOP OPENING
- Lay out and cut the cooktop cut-out far enough FORWARD so downdraft will fit behind it.
- Set cooktop in place and slide it as far forward as possible. Center and square it with edges of countertop.
- Place the plastic template against the back flange of the cooktop and center it. Trace around template to mark the downdraft opening.
- Remove cooktop from countertop.
- Cut downdraft opening. Be careful not to chip edges of countertop.
MOUNT THE UNIT
- Set downdraft into opening. Extend leveling brackets to floor of cabinet so downdraft sits straight. (Note: Leveling brackets can be removed and re-attached in other positions. Bottom flange may have to face inward in tight cabinet installations.)
- Secure the downdraft to the countertop as follows: Hold the downdraft against the back of countertop cut-out and tightening the two mounting screws (one on each end of unit) on underside of countertop. Use a wood shim between screw and underside of granite countertops.
- Screw leveling brackets to bottom of cabinet. Tighten screws holding leveling bracket to unit on each side.
INSTALL DUCTWORK
CAUTION: BEFORE CUTTING HOLE IN CABINET FOR DUCTWORK, check for interference with floor joists, wall studs, electrical wiring, or plumbing.
- Cut hole in cabinet as well as holes in wall or floor as necessary.
- Mount the roof or wall cap and work back towards the cabinet, attaching all ductwork, elbows and transitions as previously planned. Tape all ductwork connections to make them secure and air tight.
- Connect ductwork (and transition, if required) to downdraft. If necessary, LOOSEN nuts and screws that hold the blower in place, and slide blower left or right to meet ductwork. Retighten screws and nuts.
Note: A 3¼" x 10" collar is provided for installers who prefer to rivet the ductwork to the unit. This will allow blower to be removed and replaced easily in service situations without disturbing ductwork.
INSTALL ELECTRICAL WIRING
CAUTION: All electrical wiring should be done by a qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards.
- Mount a standard wiring box, with 3-pronged receptacle, inside the cabinet. Make sure the downdraft's power cord can easily reach it.
- Run appropriate power cable into cabinet and connect it to receptacle.
- Plug the downdraft's power cord into the outlet. Make sure that the power cord is routed away from the heat generated by the cooktop.
INSTALL 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 no interference when air vent is raised and lowered. There should be a gap of 1/32" - 1/16" between the back of the cooktop and the front of the downdraft cover.
Note:
The downdraft up/down control must be mounted into the countertop, at least 4" from the cooktop.
REMOTE UP/DOWN CONTROL INSTALLATION (OPTIONAL)
When to use the Remote UP/DOWN Control
The Remote UP/DOWN Control should be used when your cooktop has a burner that is within 4 inches of the UP/DOWN Button on the downdraft chimney.
The Remote UP/DOWN Control can be used for convenient UP/DOWN operation of the downdraft chimney (even when a burner is more than 4 inches from the UP/DOWN Button of the downdraft chimney).
How to use the Remote UP/DOWN Control
Do not place the remote control where it will interfere with cooking, where hot pans could be set, or where hot liquids could be spilled on the control.
The Remote UP/DOWN Control disables the UP/DOWN function of the UP/DOWN Button on the downdraft chimney.
Installation
- Using the template at right, lay out the 3-hole pattern on the counter top. Mark the centers of the three holes to be drilled.
- Carefully drill the three holes through the counter top. Be careful not to damage or chip the counter top surface when drilling the holes.
- Remove the control from the plastic bag. Line the control up with the three holes and position the control so it is parallel with the front of the counter top.
- Remove the two nylon thumbnails from the plastic bag and thread onto the two studs on the control from below the counter top. Hand tighten only.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of burns or ignition of clothing by reaching across burners, the remote control must be mounted at least 4" away from any cook top burner.
- Remove the blower, clamp channels, and gearmotor cover from downdraft (see "Prepare the Downdraft" on page 6). Remove the large panel to expose the downdraft's wiring.
- At the lower right hand corner of downdraft, unplug the cable from the left side of the wiring box.
- Remove remote cable from the plastic bag and plug into back of control from below counter top. Route cable through cabinet to lower right hand corner of downdraft and through the clearance holes in the side of downdraft and wiring box. Plug cable into circuit board plug, as shown.
- Stuff excess cable out of the way, secure the cable so it is not damaged by items stored in the cabinet, and reassemble downdraft.
USE AND CARE
WARNING: Always disconnect electric power supply before cleaning and/or servicing unit.
Always turn the downdraft blower on before you begin cooking to establish an air flow in the kitchen. Let the blower run for a few minutes to clean the air after you turn the cooktop off. This will keep the whole kitchen cleaner and brighter. The activating switch is pressed and the air vent rises.
BACKSIDE OF REMOTE SWITCH TEMPLATE
Cleaning
Use a mild detergent suitable for painted surfaces. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLOTH, STEEL WOOL PADS, OR SCOURING POWDERS. Vacuum blower to clean. Do not immerse blower in water.
Wash the 2 aluminum/stainless steel grease filters in a mild detergent solution or a dishwasher. Remove them from the air vent by grasping the tab at the top of each filter.
Servicing
It may be necessary to remove the downdraft blower system from the cabinet in order to service components such as the blower motor or air vent mechanism.
Disconnect power to the cooktop and remove it first. Reverse the steps under "MOUNT THE UNIT" to remove the downdraft from the cabinet.
OPERATION
Turn the downdraft blower ON by pressing down on the activating switch. The air vent will rise.
The blower can be turned ON or OFF and its speed can be adjusted with the recessed knob on the right side of the air vent.
Turn the downdraft blower OFF by pressing the activating switch again. The air vent will go down and the blower will shut OFF.
Note: For most convenient operation, set the blower to your favorite speed. The blower will come on to this speed whenever the activating switch is pressed and the air vent rises.
Auto Heat Sensor
When chimney is UP and blower is ON (at any speed) or OFF:
If the exhaust temperature becomes higher than expected, the Heat Sentry mode will activate and increase the blower speed to HIGH.
Lowering the chimney will turn blower OFF - even if Heat Sentry is active.
