INTRODUCTION

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The complete downdraft system consists of the ventilator,
the intake and the blower (See Fig. 1). The blower can be
either integral (mounted on the vent intake in the cabinet
under the cooktop) or a remote (mounted on the roof or
outside wall. When a remote blower is used, a duct transi-
tion is mounted on the ventilator intake in place of the
integral blower to connect the intake to the ductwork. The
duct transition must be purchased separately.
The integral blower or duct transition can be mounted in
different positions on the intake to route ductwork to avoid
cabinet, building framing, utilities, etc.
The downdraft system is available in 30-inch, 36-inch and
45-inch models, with countertop trim in either stainless,
black, or white. It is intended for use with all brands and
models of residential 30-inch, 36-inch or 45-inch gas or
electric cooktops except professional style cooktops.
