Installation review
This downdraft system can be used to exhaust cooking
by-products such as heat, steam, and smoke that may
be created while cooking using gas or electric cooktops.
With its versatile design, there are six (6) basic discharge
options - left, right, rear, front, down and recirculation. It
is important to fi rst plan your installation. The purchase of
additional accessories to complete the installation may be
necessary.
It can be mounted in an island, peninsula, or conventional
wall location. The blower (purchase separately) and
electrical panel can be mounted to the downdraft unit,
inside the cabinet, or in a convenient remote location.
This unit can be easily installed following these basic
steps:

•

•

by lowering the speed of the blower.
