■To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.
■ PVC sewer pipe can be used as duct under concrete slab if allowed by local code board.
This unit must be grounded.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
⚠ WARNING! TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:
Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.
■Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat.
Do not flame foods on the cooktop. If you do flame foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
■ Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
■Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the surface element.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
▲ WARNING!
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:*
A. SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie sheet, or metal tray, then turn off the burner. BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If the flames do not go out immediately, EVACULATE AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
B. NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN—You may be burned.
C. DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels—a violent steam explosion will result.
D. Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
- You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher, and you already know how to operate it.
- The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.
- The fire department is being called.
- You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
*Based on "Kitchen Fire safety Tips" published by NFPA.
⚠️ CAUTION: For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.
Make sure all fingers are away from the downdraft top when it is lowered.
If You Need Service...
Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of the downdraft system unless it is specifically recommended in this guide. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
SERVICING
Be sure electrical power is off before servicing the unit.
It may be necessary to remove the downdraft blower system in order to service components such as the blower motor or air vent mechanism.

⚠️CAUTION: Be careful when raising or lowering the downdraft. Be sure pots, pot handles and other objects are clear of the downdraft and cannot be struck or tipped by the downdraft being raised.
NOTE: There is a slight trim overhang at each end of the vent.
To avoid injury, be sure fingers are clear of the downdraft cover when it is being lowered.
- Keep hands and fingers away from all downdraft parts.
Cooking Tips
The high air movement of this downdraft system can increase the cooking times for some foods. It may take longer to reach high cooking temperatures if the downdraft is turned to high right away. Adjust the fan speed for best cooking results.
For best results when heating oil for deep frying or when boiling water, use the front surface units or wait until the water is boiling or the oil is at frying temperatures before turning on the downdraft.
The downdraft may not completely capture all the steam from pans on the front burners.
Canning
When canning foods in a water-bath canner, a gentle but steady boil must be maintained continuously for the required time.
When canning foods in a pressure canner, the pressure must be maintained continuously for the required time.
Use of the blower at HIGH speed when canning may reduce the temperature enough to stop boiling. While canning, we recommend using the downdraft at LOW speed and using the front surface unit.
Care and cleaning of the downdraft system.
natural_image
Simple line drawing of a hand pressing down on a wooden table frame (no text or symbols)Grease Filters
The efficiency of your downdraft depends on a clean filter. Frequency of cleaning depends on the type of cooking you do. Grease filters should be cleaned at least once a month. Never operate the downdraft without the filters in place.
To remove: Pull the filters out by grasping them and pulling straight up.
To clean: Soak and then agitate in a hot detergent solution. Light brushing may
be used to remove embedded soil. Rinse, shake and remove moisture before replacing.
Filters may also be cleaned in the dishwasher.
With careful handling, the filter will last for years. If replacement becomes necessary, order the part from your dealer.
Painted or Metal Surfaces
Clean greasy surfaces frequently, using a mild detergent.
Do not use abrasive cloth, steel wool pads or scouring powder because they will mar the surface.
Stainless Steel Surfaces (on some models)
Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch the surface.
To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm sudsy water or a stainless steel cleaner or polish. Always wipe the surface in the direction of the grain. Follow the cleaner instructions for cleaning the stainless steel surface.
To inquire about purchasing stainless steel appliance cleaner or polish, or to find the location of a dealer nearest you, please call our toll-free number:

INSTALLATION SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
A Installation work and electric wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated construction.
B Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.
C When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
⚠ WARNING — To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.
IMPORTANT: These vents are recommended for island installations. Against-the-wall installations are limited due to countertop depth requirements. The vent and cooktop combined depth requires an extra deep flat countertop surface.
The countertop must be at least 26" deep with a flat surface area of 23 ^1/2 " or more, front to back. (NOTE: JGP932S, JP350SC, JP930SC and JP938SC require 23 ^5/8 " flat surface area.) In addition, other clearances to the front edge of the countertop must be considered.
- See specific cutout illustrations with your cooktop model to determine requirements.
- A countertop with a raised lip or rolled front edge may not allow enough flat area for installation.
text_image
Flat surface area 24"ADVANCE PLANNING
CLEARANCES
- Installation must conform with local codes.
- The downdraft system with blower, motor and duct work will occupy the cabinet below the countertop and cooktop.
- The blower/motor assembly can be located below the cabinet floor. The assembly will fit between 16"floor joists.
In this installation a transition to 6 "round is required.
- The blower motor assembly can also be installed outdoors. Order JXBC67 for remote blower installations outdoors.
- Refer to Dimensions and Clearances for information on appropriate placement and necessary clearances when planning installation.
- Refer to your specific cooktop installation instruction for other appropriate clearances.
- Avoid placing cabinetry directly above the cooking surface when possible.
- If cabinetry is used above the cooking surface:
Installation must conform with local codes. Use cabinets no more than 13"deep.
Maintain 30"minimum clearance between cooktop and unprotected cabinets directly above cooktop.
If clearance is less than 30", protect cabinet bottoms with flame-retardant millboard at least 1/4"thick or gypsum board at least 3/16"thick covered with 28 gauge sheet steel or .02"thick copper.
Clearance between cooktop and protected cabinetry must not be less than 24".
EXCEPTION: Installation of a listed microwave oven or cooking appliance over the cooktop shall conform to the installation instructions packed with that appliance.
- Working areas adjacent to the cooktop should maintain 18" minimum clearance between countertop and cabinet bottom.
DUCTWORK
Prepare ductwork to vent to the outdoors.
- Use the shortest and straightest duct run possible. The maximum permissible length for duct run is 150 feet.
Refer to Duct Fittings chart to calculate equivalent length for various duct configurations.
- The downdraft blower system is designed to use 3 14'' × 10'' ductwork. It can be transitioned to 6'' round.
- Ductwork MUST be vented to the outside—never into a crawl space, attic or other enclosed space.
- Determine the need for a wall cap or roof cap. Purchase the cap in advance from your home building center or plumbing supply.
COOKTOP ELECTRICAL AND GAS LOCATION
Plan the placement of the electrical outlet and gas (if used) carefully. Gas or electrical outlets cannot be placed on the back wall of the cabinet because it may interfere with the downdraft plenum.
Install a standard electrical outlet within reach of the vents' 2 foot long power cord.
- The vent and a gas cooktop combination can operate from the same 120V standard duplex outlet.
- Electric cooktops must operate from a separate 240V junction box.
REMOTE SWITCH
(for 36" models only)
The downdraft vent has a separate raise/lower switch. Plan to install the switch in a convenient location outside of the vent/cooktop cutout.
INSTALLATION POSSIBILITIES
When the kitchen design calls for an against the wall installation, move 24" deep base cabinet forward, 3" to 5". Filler panels can be angled or flat to fill the space between adjacent cabinets.
Maintain cutout clearances to front edge as specified.
