A 120-volt, 60-Hz, AC-only
electrical
supply is required
on a separate
15ampere
circuit, fused on both sides of the line. A
time-delay
fuse or circuit breaker
is
recommended.
The fuse must be sized per
local codes in accordance
with the
electrical
rating of the appliance
specified
on the model/serial
rating plate located
on
the front of the downdraft
vent above
the
wiring box cover.

This downdraft
vent should be
connected
directly
to the fused disconnect
(or circuit
breaker)
through
flexible,
armored
or non-metallic
sheathed,
copper
cable.
Allow some slack in the cable
so the
downdraft
vent can be moved
if servicing
is
ever necessary.

Venting requirements
Fire Hazard
Venting
system MUST terminate
to the
outside.
Do Not terminate
the ductwork
in an attic
or other enclosed
space.
Do Not use 4" laundry-type
wall caps.
Do Not use plastic-type
ductwork.
Use Only Metal Ductwork.
Failure to follow
recommended
venting
instructions
may result in a fire.
Ductwork
needed
for installation
is not
supplied.
Wall cap is Not provided.
Determine
which venting
method
to use.
Ductwork
can extend
either through
the wall
or roof.
*The length of ductwork
and number of
elbows should be kept to a minimum
to
provide
efficient
performance.
*The size of the ductwork
should be uniform.
l
Do Not insfall two elbows together.
*Use duct tape to seal all joints in the
ductwork
system.
l
Use caulking
tape to seal the exterior wall or
floor opening
around
cap.
*Do Not cut joist or stud. If ductwork
cutout
falls over a joist or stud, a supporting
frame
must be constructed.
*Flexible
metal ductwork
is Not
recommended.
If it is used, calculate
each
foot of flexible metal ductwork
as two feet
of straight metal ductwork.
Flexible metal
elbows count twice as much as standard
elbows.
NOTE: Make sure there is proper clearance
within the wall or floor exhaust duct before
making cutouts,
Recommended
duct length
Ductwork
length should not exceed
the
maximum
lengths listed in the 'Maximum
length of duct system" chart. (See Panel C.)
