READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Determine which venting method is best for your application. Ductwork can extend either through the wall or the roof.
The length of the ductwork and the number of elbows should be kept to a minimum to provide efficient performance. The size of the ductwork should be uniform. Do not install two elbows together. Use duct tape to seal all joints in the ductwork system. Use caulking to seal exterior wall or floor opening around the cap.
Flexible ductwork is not recommended. If it is used, each foot of flexible ductwork used is equivalent to two feet of straight metal ductwork when calculating the ductrun length. Thus, a flexible elbow equals two standard elbows.
Make sure there is proper clearance within the wall or floor for exhaust duct before making cutouts. Do not cut a joist or stud unless absolutely necessary. If a joist or stud must be cut, then a supporting frame must be constructed. For best results, internal blowers should use 6" (152 mm) round ducting and remote blowers should transition to 10" (254 mm) round duct as soon as possible. If small ducting is used, it should be transitioned to 10" (254 mm) round as soon as possible.
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.
CAUTION!
To reduce risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, be sure to duct air outside - do not vent exhaust air into spaces within walls or ceilings or into attics, crawl spaces or garages.
Cold weather installations (not included)
An additional back draft damper should be installed to minimize backward cold air flow and a nonmetallic thermal break should be installed to minimize conduction of outside temperatures as part of the vent system. The damper should be on the cold air side of the thermal break. The break should be as close as possible to where the vent system enters the heated portion of the house.
WARNING!
- Venting system MUST terminate outside the home.
• DO NOT terminate the ductwork in an attic or other enclosed space. - DO NOT use 4" (102 mm) laundry-type wall caps.
- Flexible-type ductwork is not recommended.
• DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air. - Failure to follow venting requirements may result in a fire.

Compatible blowers with the downdraft vent system
• Internal blower model HBD6001.
- Remote blower model HBD1200E or Remote Blower Models max 2.8 A.
- This downdraft unit may only be used in connection with the above Fisher & Paykel internal or remote blowers.
Compatible cooktops with the downdraft vent system
The Downdraft Vent System is meant to be installed with residential use cooktops, cooktops/oven combinations, freestanding ranges WITHOUT backguards and range tops. This product is not recommended for use with ranges which may require additional space behind the range for oven venting OR with freestanding ranges WITH backguards. Always consult all product installation instructions for correct dimensions and clearances.
IMPORTANT!
Make certain any cooktop installed is appropriate for use with a downdraft vent system.
Venting requirements
Attention should be given to ensure that any applicable regulations concerning the discharge of exhaust air are fulfilled.
For optimal efficiency use the shortest and straightest duct route possible and use rigid or semi-rigid ducting for reduced noise and increased airflow. For best results, internal blowers should use 6" (152 mm) round ducting and remote blowers should use 10" (254 mm) round ducting. Flexible metal ducting should only be used as a last resort (ie in difficult installations) and if used ensure that it is straight and smooth and extended as much as possible.
Make sure there is proper clearance within the wall or floor for exhaust duct before making cutouts. Do not cut a joist or stud unless absolutely necessary. If a joist or stud must be cut, then a supporting frame must be constructed.
CAUTION!
To reduce the risk of fire and electric shock, install this appliance only with remote blower models rated maximum 2.8 A, and are suitable for use with solid state speed controls.
Plan the ductwork
The internal blower can be mounted to the front or back of the downdraft unit and be ducted in multiple directions: left, right, down, forward or backwards. The remote blower can be ducted downwards from the front or back of the downdraft unit.
In the event of installations where the blower is located on the back of the downdraft unit, it is advised to leave an access door or opening to reach the bottom of the downdraft unit, as well as where the wiring box and blower is located should service be needed.
Calculate the duct run length
The ductwork length should not exceed 55 equivalent feet (16.7 m) for 6" (152 mm) round duct, or 75 equivalent feet (22.9 m) for 10" (254 mm) round duct. Calculate the length of the ductwork by adding the equivalent feet listed in the table below for each piece of duct in the complete system. If flexible metal ductwork is used, each foot (312 mm) of flexible metal ductwork is equivalent to two feet (617 mm) of straight metal ductwork when calculating the duct run length.
For best results the size of the ductwork should be uniform and use no more than three 90° elbows. Make sure that there is a minimum of 24" (607 mm) of straight duct between elbows if more than one is used. Round duct is recommended instead of rectangular duct especially if elbows are needed. Rectangular duct should be transitioned to minimum 6" (152 mm) round for internal blowers and 10" (254 mm) round for remote blowers as soon as possible.
EQUIVALENT LENGTH EXAMPLE CALCULATION
| 45° elbow | 5 feet (1.5 m) | 9 feet straight duct | 9 feet (2.8 m) |
| 90° elbow | 7 feet (2.1 m) | 2 x 90° elbows | 14 feet (4.3 m) |
| 90° flat elbow | 12 feet (3.7 m) | Wall cap | 0 feet (0.0 m) |
Wall cap 0 feet (0.0 m) Complete system 23 feet (7.0 m)
WARNING!
• This appliance is heavy and requires two persons for unpacking and installation.
- Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards.
IMPORTANT!

- Push the power button on the top trim, the downdraft unit will rise. (The blower will begin to vent immediately if the blower control slider is set to an 'On' position).
- Remove the labels, screw and brackets as shown in Fig.22. These brackets are used to hold the grease filter microswitches in place during transportation. They are located at the top of the downdraft unit in the centre behind each grease filter.
- Connect the top trim to the downdraft unit by threading the 932 " (7 mm) nuts onto the top trim screws Fig.23.
• Install the grease filters Fig.24. - Check the blower operation. If the blower does not work refer to the 'Troubleshooting' section on page 27.

text_image
Fig.22 Fig.23 Fig.24 Fig.25 5½″ (8 mm) The internal or remote blower can alternatively be mounted on the back of the appliance⑨ Attach the ducting
- For the internal blower box, use 6" (152 mm) round ducting and the 6" (152 mm) diameter back draft damper.
- For the remote blower, use 10" (254 mm) round ducting.
- Attach ducting using clamps or aluminum duct tape to seal all joints and vent outside.
⑩ Remove packaging
- Remove all packaging and protective wrappings.
⑪ Install the cooktop
- Install the cooktop according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Check to make sure that the rear edge of the cooktop overlaps the front edge of the downdraft unit by 516 (8 mm) Fig.25.
The downdraft vent system is designed to remove smoke, cooking vapors and odors from the cooktop area. For best results, the downdraft vent system should be operating before cooking is started and should continue to operate for several minutes after cooking is complete. If using large pots, place them on the rear burner to ensure proper ventilation, a higher fan setting may be required.
The flame sensing ignition on some gas cooktops may be affected by the downdraft by dispersing the flame away from the spark igniter. This may cause the spark to keep running while trying to reignite the burner that is already lit. To resolve this, and improve burner performance, decrease the fan speed or increase the burner setting, or both.

WARNING!
Unplug or disconnect the appliance from the power supply before servicing or cleaning.
IMPORTANT!
• Never use abrasive or oil based cleaners.
- Wear gloves to protect against sharp edges.
Maintenance
The downdraft vent system should be cleaned regularly using a mild, liquid detergent and a clean soft cloth to avoid a build-up of grease occurring. Avoid the use of corrosive chemicals, abrasive cleaning products, hard brushes and steel wool pads. Grease deposits are corrosive which can cause damage to your downdraft vent system.
Note: in areas of high humidity or coastal environments, cleaning should be carried out more frequently.
Grease filters
- Depending on use, and at least once a month, the aluminum grease filters should be removed and cleaned with hot soapy water or in a dishwasher. Please note that contact with other items in the dishwasher may cause surface scratching.
- If washed in a dishwasher, the filter should be placed in an upright position to prevent food from falling on them.
• After cleaning and drying, refit the filters.
Removing the grease filters:
① Place fingertips in the groove at the top for the filters.
② Press down on the filters far enough for the tab at the top of the filters to clear.
③ Pull forward to release the filter from its groove.
④ Reverse these instructions when refitting the filters.

Disconnect the power supply and lock out the service panel before cleaning or servicing. To clean, remove the cover and vacuum the blower and housing, being careful not to damage the blower impeller. The motor is permanently lubricated, do not oil or disassemble.
Spills
IMPORTANT!
If a spill occurs on the cooktop that allows liquids to seep inside the downdraft unit, you must turn the downdraft vent system off immediately. It is possible to cause damage to the downdraft unit if water is allowed inside the downdraft unit while it is operating.
- Immediately turn off the downdraft vent system at the speed control located on the right-hand side of the downdraft unit.
- Turn off the power supply to the downdraft vent system at the circuit breaker box or fuse box.
- Allow plenty of time for the downdraft unit to dry naturally. Do not open the downdraft unit to remove the water.
If the downdraft vent system does not operate
- Check that a circuit breaker has not tripped or a household fuse blown.
- Check that the grease filters are properly installed.
- Check the downdraft unit fuse located under the power board.
Note: this downdraft unit is designed with a microswitch behind the center of each grease filter. These microswitches prevent the blower and the unit-raising and lowering mechanism from operating when either of the grease filters is removed. It is very important to make sure that the grease filters are properly and firmly in place. If the unit does not operate after replacing the grease filters, make sure the filters are properly installed and are making firm contact with the microswitches.
Safety switch
A safety switch, which stops the downdraft unit from rising up for safety reasons, will also stop the rise if it moves into the locked or “activated” position during shipment. By applying a simple turn with pliers on the main lifting screw the downdraft unit will rise by few millimeters releasing the safety switch.
If this does not work, these steps will put the safety switch in the "deactivated" or unlocked position to complete the installation.
Please perform these steps before proceeding with normal installation:
① Temporarily connect the power by following the 'Electrical connection' instruction on page 21.
② Locate the safety switch by looking through the hole in the 10" (254 mm) remote blower connection plate on the front of the downdraft unit. This switch is the front switch in the pair of switches on the bottom of the downdraft unit, in front of lower limit switch (Fig.26).
③ Press and hold the power button (with a pointy object) on the top right of the downdraft unit Fig.27.
④ While holding the power button, place a small flat head screwdriver underneath the safety switch to disengage the lever from the safety switch button Fig.28. By pulling this lever away from the depressed safety switch button, this will return the downdraft unit to normal operation and the downdraft unit will now raise and lower normally.
⑤ Test the downdraft unit by pressing the power button on top of the downdraft unit for several raise and lower cycles to ensure the downdraft unit is operating without holding the safety switch.
⑥ Disconnect the power and proceed with the rest of the steps to install the product per the installation instructions on page 14.
These steps should only be required once and the safety switch will operate normally from then on.
