Frequently Asked Questions - GZ7936XHS - INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION BAUKNECHT

How to install the downdraft ventilation system?

Installation must be performed by a professional. Follow the detailed instructions in the manual: cut the opening in the countertop, attach the brackets, support feet, connect the exhaust duct, and connect the power supply. Use two people to handle the appliance due to its weight.

What type of duct should be used for venting?

Use only rigid metal ducts. Flexible metal or plastic ducts are not recommended. Recommended diameter is 15.2 cm (6 in) for an internal motor or 25.4 cm (10 in) for an external motor.

Can I use a flexible duct?

Flexible duct use is not recommended because it reduces performance. If you must use it, consider that one foot of flexible duct equals 2 feet of rigid duct and a flexible elbow equals twice a standard elbow.

How to clean the filters?

Remove the filters from the retractable section and clean them in a dishwasher or in a hot detergent solution. Do not operate the system without the filters in place. Make sure to fully insert them after cleaning.

What to do in case of liquid spill on the cooktop into the downdraft system?

Stop the downdraft system immediately by turning the speed knob to zero. Cut power at the circuit breaker. Do not attempt to open the system. Let it dry naturally before reuse.

Why is the fan not working?

First check that the filters are fully inserted (a microswitch prevents operation if filters are not in place). Ensure the circuit is powered (breaker not tripped). If the problem persists, disconnect power and check the wiring.

How to order spare parts?

Spare parts (such as top trims) are available from authorized dealers. Refer to the part numbers in the manual (e.g., trim 8171302 for 91.4 cm model). Contact KitchenAid customer service at 1-800-422-1230 (U.S.) or 1-800-807-6777 (Canada).

What is the warranty of this downdraft system?

The limited warranty is one year from the date of purchase. It covers factory-specified parts and labor to correct defects in materials or workmanship. Consumable parts like filters are not covered.

Can I install an external motor with this model?

Yes, you can use an external motor model KPEC992M (900 cfm). The KPEU722M motor (1200 cfm) is not compatible. Installation requires a separate power cable and a 25.4 cm (10 in) duct.

How to adjust the fan speed?

Use the rotary knob on the right side of the downdraft system. It allows continuous speed variation. To start, press the top button for a few seconds; the retractable section rises and the fan starts.

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.

This is the safety alert symbol.

This symbol alerts you to fatal hazards that can kill or injure and others.

All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or "WARNING". These words mean:

DANGER

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately follow instructions.

WARNING

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow instructions.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

Failure to meet codes and ordinances could lead to fire or electrical shock.

Proper installation is your responsibility. Make sure you have everything necessary for correct installation. It is the responsibility of the installer to comply with the installation clearances specified on the model/serial rating plate. The model/serial rating plate is located on the front of the downdraft vent above the wiring box cover.

Check location where downdraft vent will be installed. The location should be away from strong draft areas, such as windows, doors and strong heating vents or fans. Before making countertop cutout, check that downdraft vent and cooktop location will clear cabinet walls, backsplash, and rear wall studs inside cabinet.

Mobile home installation

The installation of this downdraft vent system must conform to the Manufactured Home Construction Safety Standards, Title 24 CFR, Part 328 (formerly the Federal Standard for Mobile Home Construction and Safety, Title 24, HUD, Part 280) or when such standard is not applicable, the Standard for Manufactured Home Installation 1982 (Manufactured Home Sites, Communities and Setups) ANSI A225.1/NFPA 501A*, or latest edition, or with local codes.

All openings in the wall or floor where retractable downdraft vent is to be installed must be sealed.

Electrical ground is required. See "Electrical requirements," page 3.

When installing downdraft vent, the cabinet drawer will need to be removed and the drawer front installed permanently to cabinet.

NOTE: Downdraft vent is installed directly behind the cooktop. Install downdraft vent first.

Cabinet construction: Downdraft vent is designed for use in a cabinet with a depth of 24" (61 cm). Some installations require a countertop deeper than 25" (63.5 cm). See chart on page 5. The maximum depth of the overhead cabinet is 13" (33 cm). Overhead cabinets installed at either side of the downdraft vent must be 18" (45.7 cm) above the cooking surface.

See cooktop Installation Instructions before making any cutouts and for the minimum distance between the front edge of the countertop and front edge of cooktop. The minimum horizontal distance between the overhead cabinets is the same as the width of the installed downdraft vent.

• Installation with vent system requires countertop and base cabinet deeper than standard 25" (63.5 cm) deep countertop and 24" (61.0 cm) deep base cabinet.

Vent system requirements

Venting system must terminate to the outside.

Do not terminate the vent system in an attic or other enclosed area.

Do not use 4'' (10.2 cm) laundry-type wall caps

Do not use plastic or metal foil vent.

Vent work needed for installation is not supplied.

Wall cap is not provided with interior-mounted motor.

Determine which venting method to use. Vent system can extend through either the wall or roof.

The length of vent system and number of elbows should be kept to a minimum to provide efficient performance.

The size of the vent should be uniform.

Do not install two elbows together.

Use duct tape to seal all joints in the vent system.

Use caulking tape to seal the exterior wall or floor opening around cap.

Do not cut joist or stud. If vent cutout falls over a joist or stud, a supporting frame must be constructed.

Flexible metal vent is not recommended. If it is used, calculate each foot of flexible vent as two feet of rigid metal vent. Flexible elbows count twice as much as standard elbows.

NOTE: Make sure there is proper clearance within the wall or floor before making exhaust vent cutouts.

Recommended vent system length: For either interior-mounted or exterior-mounted blower installations, vent system length should not exceed the maximum lengths listed in the "Maximum length of vent system" chart. (See this page for Interior-mounted vent motor; page 9 for exterior-mounted vent motor.)

3-1/4" × 10" (8.3 cm × 25.4 cm)	35 feet (8.9 m)

For best performance, use no more than three 90^ elbows. If more than one elbow is used, make sure that there is a minimum of 24^ (61 cm) of straight vent between any two elbows. Do not install two elbows together. It is recommended that you use round vent instead of rectangular vent, especially if elbows are required. If rectangular vent is required, it should be transitioned to 6^ (15.2 cm) round vent as soon as possible.

Determining the length of system you need:

To calculate the length of system you need, add the equivalent feet for each vent piece that will be needed. See example for 6" (15.2 cm) round vent system.

6'' (15.2 cm) round vent system

Maximum length = 35 ft. (8.9m)

1-wall cap = 0 ft. (0m)

8 ft. (2.4 m) straight = 8 ft. (2.4 m)

2-90°elbows = 10 ft. (3m)

Transition = 4.5 ft. (1.4 m)

Length of 6"

(15.2 cm) system = 22.5 ft. (6.8 m)

Recommended standard fittings

3-1/4" x 10" (8.3 cm x 25.4 cm) to 6" (15.2 cm) = 4.5 ft. (1.4 m)		6" (15.2 cm) to 3-1/4" x 10" (8.3 cm x 25.4 cm) = 1 ft. (0.3 m)
3-1/4" x 10" (8.3 cm x 25.4 cm) to 6" (15.2 cm) 90° elbow = 5 ft. (1.5 m)		6" (15.2 cm) to 3-1/4" x 10" (8.3 cm x 25.4 cm) 90° elbow = 5 ft. (1.5 m)
90° elbow = 5 ft. (1.5 m)	45° elbow = 2.3 ft. (0.8 m)	6" wall cap = 0 ft. (0 m)

For best performance, use no more than three 90^ elbows. If more than one elbow is used, make sure that there is a minimum of 24 inches (61 cm) of straight vent between any two elbows. Do not install two elbows together.

It is recommended that you use round vent instead of rectangular vent, especially if elbows are required. If rectangular vent is required, it should be transitioned to 10^ (25.4 cm) round vent as soon as possible.

Determining the length of system you need:

To calculate the length of system you need, add the equivalent feet for each duct piece that will be needed. See example for 10" (25.4 cm) round vent system.

10" (25.4 cm) round vent system

Maximum length = 40 ft. (12.2m)

$$ 2 - 9 0 \text {e l b o w s} = 1 0 \text {f t .} (3. 0 5 \mathrm {m}) $$

$$ 1 0 \text {f t .} (3 \mathrm {m}) \text {s t r a i g h t} = 1 0 \text {f t .} (3. 0 5 \mathrm {m}) $$

$$ \text {L e n g t h} 1 0 ^ {\prime \prime} $$

$$ (2 5. 4 \mathrm {c m}) \text {s y s t e m} = 2 0 \mathrm {f t}. (6. 1 \mathrm {m}) $$

NOTE: The exterior-mounted vent motor requires a separate wiring cable that should be installed at the same time the vent work is installed.

Recommended standard fittings

Installation steps

1. Put on gloves and safety glasses. Place cardboard or another form of protection on top of a flat surface where you can easily assemble the downdraft vent system. Remove parts packages, downdraft vent and blower box from carton. Remove all shipping materials, tape and protective film from downdraft vent and blower box.

1. Attach the left side and right side overcounter support brackets to the downdraft. Use 1 screw with each bracket.

1. Attach the left side and right side end caps to the downdraft. Use 1 screw with each end cap.

1. Attach support legs to side of downdraft vent with two screws in each leg. Do not tighten screws.

WARNING

Excessive Weight Hazard Use two or more people to move and install downdraft vent. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

1. Carefully insert downdraft vent into countertop cutout. Two people are recommended to support the weight of the downdraft vent during lifting. Check that downdraft vent is parallel to side of cutout and that mounting brackets rest gently on countertop.

1. Move support legs down against cabinet floor. Place a level against front of downdraft vent base and adjust position of legs until downdraft is level vertically. Use a pencil to mark the top of each leg on face of downdraft vent. Then mark location of support leg mounting holes on cabinet floor. Remove downdraft vent from cutout. Drill starter holes at each mounting screw location on

cabinet floor. Align top of legs with pencil marks on face of downdraft vent. Tighten screws in legs.

1. Attach 10'' (25.4 cm) round vent collar plate (supplied with exterior blower system) to front of downdraft vent using 4 hex washer nuts.

2. Remove the 2 Phillips-head screws attaching the wiring box cover and remove cover. Remove either the back or bottom knockout and install conduit connector.

NOTE: Power supply cable needed between exterior blower assembly and blower box is not provided.

1. Determine the location where the exterior blower box will be located. Cut opening in roof or wall for vent system to exterior blower. Install exterior blower according to instructions supplied with the blower kit.

Wall Installations:

• Use caulking compound between mounting flange and wall.
  Roof Installations:
• Follow standard roofing procedures.
• The flashing sheet should be centered over the roof opening.
• Lower edge of flashing should lie on top of shingles and upper edge underneath shingles.

• Seal assembly between roof, fan and flashing with roofing mastic to prevent leaks.

• Insert retractable downdraft vent into countertop cutout. Two people are recommended to support the weight of the downdraft vent during lifting. Position downdraft vent so it is centered in cutout and parallel to edge of cutout. Check that downdraft vent is vertical. Then attach lower support legs to cabinet floor with screws.

When attaching undercover bracket to underside of countertop, make sure that the screw length will not go through countertop when tightened.

1. Attach one undercounter mounting bracket on front upper right corner of downdraft vent with slot over vent mounting hole and flange against countertop. Attach other bracket to left side of downdraft vent. Carefully drill starter holes through undercounter mounting brackets into underside of countertop. Insert appropriate length screws into holes and tighten brackets to countertop.

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Disconnect power before servicing.

Connect ground wire to green ground screw in terminal box.

Failure to do so can result in death or electrical shock.

1. Disconnect power.

1. Feed the power supply cable through the conduit connector and into wiring box. Connect the white wires together with a twist-on wire connector. Connect the black wires together with a twist-on wire connector. Attach the green (or green and yellow) ground wire to eyelet with green ground screw and tighten screw. Replace wiring box cover.

1. Remove vent box knockout and install conduit connector.

Feed exterior-mounted vent motor wiring through conduit connector.

IMPORTANT: Do not wire the exterior vent motor black and white wires into the wiring box. Wires must be connected as shown. Connect the white wires together with a twist-on wire connector. Connect the black wires together with a twist-on connector.

Attach ground wire to eyelet with green ground screw and tighten screw.

Tighten conduit connector clamp screws.

1. Reconnect power.

1. Push and hold for a few seconds the button on the top of the downdraft vent. Retractable section of downdraft vent will rise and blower will start. Position the top trim over the retractable section and snap trim into place.

2. Turn the control knob on side of vent to check the operation and speed of blower. If blower does not operate:

3. Check that filter or filters are pressed in as far as they will go.

4. Check that circuit breaker is not tripped or house fuse blown.

5. Reconnect power. Check that wire connections have been made correctly.

6. Connect vent to blower. Position vent to avoid wall studs and floor joists. Complete all vent work. Use duct tape to seal all joints. Vertical vent for wall-mounted installations should pitch down slightly toward the vent to allow moisture to run outside.

7. Install cooktop according to manufacturer's instructions. Check that rear of cooktop overlaps edge of retractable downdraft vent by 3/8'' (9.5 mm).

To get the most efficient use from your new retractable downdraft vent, read the Use and Care Information section on page 12.

Keep Installation Instructions and Use and Care Information close by for easy reference.

Use and Care Information

The retractable downdraft vent system is designed to remove smoke, cooking vapors and odors from the cooktop area. For the best results, the vent should be operating before cooking is started. If you use large or tall utensils, place them on the large rear element or burner surface. A higher heat setting than normally used may be needed when the downdraft vent is operating.

WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have questions, contact the manufacturer. Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off at service panel and lock the service disconnecting means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device such as a tag to the service panel.

CAUTION: For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.

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 or when cooking flaming foods.

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.

WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

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, EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN — You may be burned.

DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels — a violent steam explosion will result. 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 is started.

The fire department is being called.

You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.

This fan is suitable for use with solid-state speed controls.

Operating downdraft vent

Push and hold for a few seconds the button on top of downdraft vent. This slight delay prevents raising the vent during cleaning. Retractable section of downdraft vent will rise and blower will begin to vent. Turn knob on side of downdraft vent to adjust the setting to the amount of venting you need. The knob has infinite settings. Place cooking utensils on cooking surface and turn cooking unit on. When cooking is complete, turn cooking unit off, remove utensils from cooking surface, and push button on top of retractable downdraft vent. The blower will turn off and the retractable section of the vent will return to the closed position.

If a spill occurs on the cooktop that allows liquids to seep inside the downdraft, you must turn the downdraft off immediately. It is possible to cause damage to the downdraft if water is allowed inside the downdraft while it is operating.

• Immediately turn OFF the downdraft at the speed control located on the right-hand side of the downdraft.
• Turn OFF the power supply to the downdraft at the circuit breaker box or fuse box.
• Allow plenty of time for the downdraft to dry naturally. Do not open the downdraft to remove the water.

Cleaning

Surface of downdraft vent: Clean with soap and water. Do Not use scouring powder or abrasive solutions.

Filter or filters (depending on model): Frequently remove and clean the filters in the retractable section of the downdraft vent. This will improve the operating efficiency of the downdraft vent system.

1. Remove the filter(s) and clean them in the dishwasher or in a hot detergent solution.
   Do not use the downdraft vent when the filter(s) is not in place.
2. Reinstall the clean filter(s), making sure that they are pushed in as far as they will go.

NOTE: Downdraft vent will not operate if filter(s) is not in proper position. If the handle(s) is not fully locked, the vent may retract but not raise back up.

If retractable downdraft vent does not operate after clean filters have been reinstalled:

Push the filter in as far as it will go. When the filter is removed, the microswitch behind the filter is inactivated. This safety feature stops the blower and raising mechanism until the filter is properly reinstalled.
