Advance Planning - GE Monogram ZVB36 Installation Instructions Manual

ADVANCE PLANNING

Remote Switch
The downdraft vent has a separate raise/lower switch.
Plan to install the switch in a convenient location
outside of the vent/cooktop cutout.
Downdraft Vent and Cooktop Cutout
The installation of these downdraft vents with any
Monogram cooktop requires careful consideration. For
accurate planning, this book provides individual
dimension drawings for the vent and the Monogram
cooktop combined installation.
Countertop Requirements:
The countertop must have a deep flat surface to
accommodate the cooktop and the vent. Countertops
with a rolled front edge and backsplash may not
provide the flat surface area required.
Base Cabinet Requirements:
The base cabinet must be deep enough to accommo-
date the minimum clearance to the front of the
countertop, the cooktop burner box and the vent.
Creative Solutions
• When the kitchen design calls for an against the
wall installation, move the base cabinet forward, 3"
to 5". Filler panels or complimentary moldings can
be added to exposed cabinet sides.
• In an island or peninsula, use an extra deep
countertop. The countertop overhang at the
front can be adjusted to meet setback to cutout
requirements.
• When the cutout to front edge of the countertop
requirement is more than 2", add a bullnose trim to
the front edge of the countertop. Include the trim
thickness when measuring front edge to cutout
requirement. By adding the trim, the cooktop can be
moved forward, providing additional countertop
depth and interior cabinet space.

Before you begin, you must:
1. Review countertop dimension illustrations to be
sure you will have enough flat countertop surface.
2. Check to be sure that the total countertop depth
required (including minimum cutout to front edge
depth) allows enough space for a backsplash.
3. Review the cabinet illustration. Check to be sure
the interior cabinet depth will house the cooktop
burner box, the vent and the cutout clearance from
the front.
4. When countertop and cabinet depth present a
problem, review Creative Solutions.
5. Read this book completely to accurately plan the
installation location, clearances and ductwork
requirements.
With careful planning you can achieve a custom look
with minimal adjustments.
