PLANNING -(continued)
PLAN THE DUCTWORK
Note:
The high level of air flow of this appliance
may affect the gas
flame
on some types
of gas cooktops.
This is NORMAL
and wil!
cause no harm, but can be corrected
by lowering
the speed
of the
blower.
RIGHT
DISCHARGE
TAKE MEASUREMENTS
1. Refer to the cooktop
installation
instructions
for dimensions
of
cooktop,
countertop
cut-out,
and cabinet
requirements.
The
Model PL30DD
will fit in most 30" wide cabinets
and the Model
PL36DD
will fit in most
36"
wide
cabinets.
However,
it is
recommended
that oversized
cabinets
be used for easier instal-
lation.
2.
Cooktop
depth
can vary greatly
from one to another.
This may
cause
the fit of these
two appliances
to be rather tight.

Pay special
attention
to the areas
of potential
interference
high-
lighted
above.
A countertop
with
(A) a raised
lip and/or
(B) a
backsplash
may
not allow
enough
flat countertop
for a proper
installation.
Note
that 2" of flat
countertop
is required
behind
cooktop
and that 1-3/4" is necessary
between
the back edge of the
cooktop
and the inside of cabinet
back.

DISCHARGE
(as shipped)
This downdraft
blower
system
is designed
for use with 3-1/4"
x 10"
ductwork
(can
be transitioned
to 6" round).
Three
different
discharge
directions
are available
with side-to-side
adjustment
for accurate
alignment
of ductwork.
For best performance:
Choose
the ducting
option which allows
the shortest
length
of ductwork
and a minimum
number
of
elbows
and transitions.
Check
location
of floor
joists,
wall
studs,
electrical
wiring
or plumbing
for possible
interference.
NOTE:
The unit is shipped
with the 3-1/4"
x 10" discharge
facing
DOWN.
See "CHANGING
BLOWER
DIRECTION"
on
page 3, if necessary.

3. The system
will operate
most efficiently
when
the ductwork
does not exceed
40 feet of equivalent
duct. The chart, above,
shows
equivalent
feet of elbows
and transitions.
The number
of feet of straight
duct plus the equivalent
feet of transitions
and/or
elbows
to be used should
equal 40 feet or less.
NOTI=: The equivalent
feet of various
roof and wan caps
has
been
taken
into
consideration.
Do not include
them
in this
calculation.
PLAN THE WIRING
1.
2.
The downdraft
blower
system
draws 4 AMPS
and requires
a
120 VAC,
60 Hz circuit.
The unit has a 2 ft. long power cord with a 3-pronged
plug. Plan
to provide
a grounded
outlet in a location
which will allow the
unit's power cord to reach. (Note: If the Mode! PL30DD
is being
installed
in a 30" wide cabinet
or the Model
PL36DD
is being
installed
in a 36" wide cabinet,
the outlet cannot be located
on
the back wall of cabinet.)
Outlet
may also be wal!-mounted,
with access
hole in cabinet.
