INTRODUCTION
GENERAL
DESCRIPTION
The complete
downdraft
system consists
of
the downdraft,
a blower and a transition
box if using an Inline or Remote Blower. A
recirculation
module is also available when
ducting to the outside
is not preferred or
not possible.
(See Fig. 1).
The blower can be either integral (mounted
on the vent intake in the cabinet
under the
cooktop),
an inline (mounted
between the
kitchen and exterior wall anywhere
within
the duct line), or a remote (mounted
on the
roof or outside
wall). When a remote or inlF
ne blower
is used, a duct transition
is
mounted
on the ventilator intake in place of
the integral blower to connect
the intake to
the duct work. 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 or 36- inch. Intended for non-profes-
sional style cooktops
only.
A Recirculation
Kit can be purchased
sepa-
rately and used in conjunction
with the Inte-
gral Blower if ducting to the outside
is not a
viable option.
Step
1: Plan the installation
Carefully follow the planning
procedures
listed below (See Figure 2). Sketches are
NOT intended to be a replacement
for care-
ful planning.
A. Determine
whether a remote, inline, or
integral blower will be used. Remote
and inline blower
installation
requires
4 wires plus a ground
wire to run from
the downdraft
to the blower.
B. Make sure that adequate
cabinet and
counter space has been provided and
that the intake and blower will be acces-
sible if service is required.
C. Consider that cross drafts created
by
adjacent open windows,
doors, air con-
ditioning, old heating vents, recessed
ceiling lights, and traffic patterns
may
affect performance.
D. For gas cooktop
installations
make sure
that a minimum
10 square inch opening
is provided in the toe-kick
or other cabi-
net area. Inadequate
ventilation
of the
cabinet below the cooktop
may result in
flame outage when operating
the vent
system.
E. Provide
for air supply
or "make-up
air" to the room where unit will be
installed.
If "make-up
air" is not provi-
ded, then
problems,
such as fireplace
chimney
downdrafts,
could result.
